Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
First off I would like to say- Sorry for being so MIA! I’ve had an extremely hectic Christmas and New Year’s weekend, and I would rather NOT go into detail about it. However, right before the holiday weeks I did prepare an awesome dessert that I’m sure you guys will love. I LOVEEEE Starbucks Salted …
I think the title says it all here, except for a few crucial details about these cupcakes. I discovered a new brand of unrefined pure coconut oil called Kelapo just about a month or so ago. Actually I should say, they discovered me when they offered to send me a sample of their coconut oil, …
I think this is the first time in the history of Hinduism that Ganesh was fed a cupcake.. or anything vegan for that matter! I actually hate color pink, but I must say these look quite impressive 🙂 For the past 5 days we, as in my family, have been celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi- the celebration …
This past weekend was my middle sister Puja’s engagement party! This past weekend was also the most unnecessarily hyped-up Hurricane of the decade- Hurricane Irene. Some pictures are of the cakepops pre-wrapped and some are post-wrapped. The Rose-Red Velvet Cake Pops seemed a bit denser than the Banana Bread cakepops, so I ended up giving …
I think the name of this sweet says it all. Its basically the most amazing ingredients on the planet altogether in 1 little dessert- a chocolate peanut butter truffle. If you’re vegan, just use raw/vegan nutella or negate it altogether. This sweet basically tastes like a homemade Reese’s Cup– one of my favorite chocolates. The …
Let’s celebrate! No, it’s not my birthday, BUT this was my first time ever making vegan cupcakes! I’m a huge fan of mojitos, and I stumbled upon different recipes for vegan mojito cupcakes. So I thought why not give it a shot? This recipe particularly caught my eye: Organic Authority. I thought to myself- if …
Couple of weeks ago my boss was going on and on about some “Coke Cake,” and not that my mind is in the gutter or anything, but I automatically assumed a cake made out of the drug that looks like powdered sugar and reminds me of the movie ‘Blow‘ with Johnny Depp. Low and behold, …
This past week was my Daddy’s birthday! His favorite fruit, correction- favorite berry is the strawberry. And I know he loves strawberry shortcake. So I decided to go the traditional route and make a classic Strawberry Shortcake with fresh whipped cream, macerated strawberries and a rich shortcake. Yes, I know traditional is not really in …
WARNING: This is not a ‘healthy’ post, so don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂 These aren’t really “Almond Joy” cupcakes, but more so “Mounds” cupcakes. But I figured Mounds isn’t as popular as Almond Joy, so no one would’ve known what I was referring too. Anyways, Mounds is like the sister to Almond Joy- …
Don’t need much of an introduction for these yummy pops, besides mentioning that they’re CRAZY easy to make and I used a slightly ghetto cake-pop method. What! I wanted cake pops fast and I was tired! Jeez, a chef can take some shortcuts! Anyways, I used Betty Crocker chocolate Chip Cookie mix and instead of …
