Easy Potato-Leek-Kale Soup
This super easy and delicious soup gets its creamy consistency from puréed leeks.
Spicy Black Bean Soup
This smoky, slightly spicy black bean soup would make a great first course with other Latin style dishes – Mexican, Spanish, Peruvian, etc.
Millet with Shiitakes, Carrots & Carrot Fronds
The leafy green fronds that grow above ground on carrots are an under-rated fresh herb that you should never throw out; with pine nuts, they give this healthy, easy side dish an unusual burst of garden-fresh flavor and nutrients.

Cheese-stuffed Green Olives [vegan]
Complement your Mediterranean meze selection with these almost-zero-effort but crowd-pleasing olives stuffed with delicious vegan chive cheese spread.
Caçik (Turkish yogurt dip)
Caçik is similar to tzatziki, but this Turkish version is traditionally made with goat’s milk yogurt – difficult to find in western grocery stores. We veganized an authentic tasting version of it here.
Turkish-style Hummous
There are many recipes out there for hummous. We like to get a silky consistency and great flavor by removing the chickpea hulls and using mostly tahini paste and aquafaba (the chickpea liquid) to achieve a creamy texture, with a touch of olive oil for flavoring.
Smoky Lentil Soup
Quick and easy, this soup is packed with flavor, protein, fiber and nutrients from fresh vegetables and brown lentils

Lacinato Kale Salad with Pine Nuts and Cider-Dijon Vinaigrette
Lacinato kale is very different than the ordinary hard, curly variety that many people (vegan or not) dislike. Its milder flavor and softer texture make it a superior salad green. You could make this salad with any of your favorite bitter salad greens, but we like lacinato kale; if you can’t find that, we’d suggest substituting arugula…
