#106 The Case of French Banana Toast

Does this picture make you hungry? Now imagine it drizzled with maple syrup. French Banana Toast is just a matter of slicing a ripe banana over hot-off-the-griddle pieces of French Vanilla Toast.

      Hi Sara! Yup, and French Banana Toast is quite healthy too. One portion fruit, two portions grain, one portion protein. Sure beats what I had for breakfast this morning. A glass of milk and a stick of chocolate with hazelnuts. Don't tell anyone...

      While this post is up, I expect the flowers to behave exactly as I described in my post above. I see some blue but I wouldn't describe my view as a carpet just yet. I sense the Academy Awards of spring are just around the corner.

      Dear Megha, I'm honoured that you nominated Vegetarian Detective for the Liebster Award. Thank you very much. Only thing is, in the post just before this one you'll see that I have accepted once already. Don't think it's something I can do twice but I sure appreciate the thought!

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. Quite the agenda for ten days, including the two flight days, wouldn't you say? But Trafalgar made it work. I would go on a Trafalgar trip again in a heartbeat.   Things I learned in Italy:   In the regions we ...

#257 The Case of Cacio e Pepe

T his recipe is the simplest of the simple and yet it feels decadent to me. Posh even!   enough spaghetti for 2 2 tablespoons vegan butter 1 teaspoon coarsely grated black peppercorns (about 50 turns of the grater) plus a little more pepper to grate on top 3/8 cup vegan Parmesan (1/4 cup grated) salt   Cook the spaghetti. In the meantime, toast the pepper in a pot on medium-low heat for about 30 seconds or until aromatic.   Swirl in the butter and melt it slowly. Do not brown. You can turn the heat right off when it's ready. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.   When the spaghetti is just about al dente, pour 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water into the butter mixture. Then drain the spaghetti and toss it in. Raise the heat to medium-high and mix vigorously with tongs. Stir in the grated Parmesan and more pasta water, if needed, to create a creamy sauce. Salt to taste. Plate. Grate the rest of the cheese and some additional pepper on top. Serves 2. ♥...
