#113 The Case of Being a Visiting Detective

Remember Detective Charlie Kerrian and his Favourite Sweet Potato Pie? If you've ever tasted it (recipe can be found on both our blogs, Vegetarian Detective and Kerrian's Notebook), I'm sure you remember him (as well as his lovely wife, Sheila).

Seems our Charlie is very busy these days. While he's waiting for his mystery One Sweet Motion—about murder while he was relaxing at a Jamaican resort—to be published, he's inviting a few of his detective pals, amateur and otherwise, to be guests on his blog.

Here's hoping the whole scenario doesn't imitate the Agatha Christie novel in which a varied group of guests are invited to stay on this island and one by one they're all (messily) dispatched, because...well...I'm privileged to be Charlie's first guest.

Find my post chez Detective Kerrian by clicking on the screenshot above. To be safe, I'm thinking...maybe you should do it sooner rather than later...

  1. Hi Becki,
    Wasn't that a great crowd yesterday? So many people who were excited to meet you and hear your stories about Gina and what happened in THE PURSE TO DIE FOR (and eat the brownies). After you left, Sheila ran off some copies of the recipe for the latecomers. We're still getting calls from the neighbors today. I think Bill (next door) might even try a few vegetarian recipes of yours.
    Thanks again for stopping by! See you soon (and say hello to Cynthia for us)

    1. Hi Charlie and Sheila,

      Becki says it was totally her pleasure visiting yesterday! You throw a fab party (and nobody was mysteriously dispatched, phew!)

      Are you staying cool today? There seems to be a heat wave all over the world right now and we also have tornado warnings in our area. If this message suddenly blanks out, you'll know I'm running to the basement. Tornados scare the heck out of me!

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet  YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace . Yours, Becki Green (Vegetarian Detective)

#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. ♥...
