justthefood.com...the blog: Hello There!

I know, I know...it seems I have been neglecting this blog. I'm sorry. Celine and I have been feverishly finishing up the 500 Vegan Recipes book, and I have been so busy in the kitchen, I haven't had much time to play in the blogosphere.

I promise that after the first of May, I will have a lot more leisurely cooking time and more time for blog posting fun!

To whet your appetite, here are some pictures of a few (16 out of 250!) things I have been working on:

1. Piled High Strawberry Pie, 2. Seitan Poppers & Buffalo Sauce, 3. Black Bean, Corn & Roasted Chile Quesadillas, 4. Peach Cobbler with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, 5. Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge, 6. Chile Relleno with homemade Enchilada Sauce, 7. Stuffed Artichokes, 8. Seitan en Croute, 9. Currant and Walnut Veganzola, 10. Salsa Fresca, 11. Nacho Queso, 12. Coconut, Lemon and Herb Tofu with Udon, 13. Yalanchi Dolmas, 14. Avocado Spring Rolls, 15. Home Made Inari, 16. Green bean almondine

Oh, and don't think I forgot about the burgers! Once this is all said and done, the Burger book WILL get it's final proofing and then available for all to enjoy!
