The Case of Vegetarian Detective in Italy

B uon giorno!   I feel like a snob saying, "I'm just back from Italy." That's me: jetsetter. Yeah, right!   But wow...Italy!   I could talk up a storm, and I surely will as I adjust to being back here, six time zones from magnificent Italia . I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person!   So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi.

#262 The Case of Lasagna

They will never, never, never, ever turn scrumptiously fork tender.   Please note that this recipe is still a fast, easy version of Lasagna.

Lay down the first noodle, followed by a layer of sauce then another noodle... Repeat using all of the noodles and finishing with a last, generous portion of sauce. ...

#269 The Case of Stew

F eels like a miracle that we can enjoy rich, roasty stew without the beef. I particularly like dipping vegan-buttered bread in the full-bodied gravy. Add vegan protein powder if you like. Heat won’t hurt it. 1 red onion, chopped 4 carrots, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, sliced 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder 4 cups water 4 rounded teaspoons (for 4 cups) vegetable bouillon powder 2 bay leaves 2 potatoes, chopped 2 handfuls green beans 1/4 cup pasta sauce 4 tablespoons vegan beef-flavoured instant gravy granules nutritional yeast to taste pepper to taste soya sauce to taste In a large pot, sear the onion and carrots in the olive oil until caramelized. Add the garlic and chilli powder and sauté for a few min. Add the water, vegetable bouillon powder and bay leaves. Cover and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and simmer until the veggies are getting soft. Add the green beans and continue to simmer until the veggies are soft. Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the pasta sauce and ...
