recipes

Here’s an index of my online recipes, by category (vegan, and/or gluten-free recipes noted parenthetically throughout). So far, the links take you to recipes of mine which have been posted not on this site but elsewhere; I think you’ll enjoy some of the elsewheres in their own right.

I am a frequent contributor to Relish Magazine, which has a print and online edition as well as two of my favorite editors ever, Jill Melton and Candace Floyd. Many of the links lead to Relish pages. Quite a few others take you to Cookstr, a nifty online cooking site which profiles chefs and cookbook authors, with, as they say, “recipes you’ll love from cookbooks we trust.” I am fortunate in that they trust me! Fresh Direct, a New York grocery delivery service, also evidently trusts me: they’ve picked several of my recipes to link to (if a person orders shiitake mushrooms, say, up pops my recipe as a what to do with ‘em option.

Lastly,  every so often someone who blogs about food tries out one of my recipes & writes about it. So interesting to me as a cookbook writer, to see which dishes pull readers & writers, and why. These are often illustrated with photographs and elaborated on experientially and anecdotally. Posts are noted both in and below the recipe index.

So even though Deep Feast is mostly about what and why we eat, and the larger stories food tells — these stories all begin and end with what and how; what we actually put on the table, how we prepare it: the recipe.

  • Bourbon Sauce: A wildly rich, sweet, alcoholic sauce that takes any non-chocolate bread pudding or other plainish dessert way, way over the top. At Cookstr; from Passionate Vegetarian)
  • Hot Fudge Sauce: the best, the absolute best. From Passionate Vegetarian ; expanded on in Sarah’s blog “Life… Delicious. “
  • Warm Blueberry Sauce (vegan &  gluten free, this is a warm, sweet-but-not-too-sweet dessert sauce, very simple,  I developed for Relish, there to go with Cheese Blintz Souffle , but it’s also excellent over French toast, waffles, or vanilla ice cream)

Being Blogged About

  • At The Spiced Life, Laura T sets out a great big. generous  idiosyncratic buffet: what she’s cooking, baking, reading and thinking. Here, she wrote about my Dairy Hollow House Skillet-Sizzled Cornbread, and the cookbook from which it came, The Cornbread Gospels.How could I not be thrilled when Laura noted, ” This is the first time ever that I stayed up too late reading a cookbook.”
  • At my other, more-general-writing-&-life-related blog,  Nothing is Wasted on the Writer, there’s a post called “Whimper while you work: life-density, & very dark chocolate” which includes my recipe for Double-Density Chocolate-Walnut Espresso Torte at the end, and also explores a lot about chocolate as an actual pharmaceutical.
  • And at Tandy Belt’s Onward and Upward, another general exploration of life as a continual work in progress, she related the post above, AND the torte, AND baking itself, to her physical and emotional recovery from a wickedly bad shoulder injury. A lovely post, which I’m honored to have inspired.
  • Feasts of Joy is written by the truly joyful Joy Archer. This generous post of hers, is about her experience taking Deep Feast with me in Seattle in March, 2011 – and a felicitous meeting a decade earlier. She says “I’m giving you a recipe for mashed Acorn Squash with Toasted Pine Nuts because it fits with Crescent Dragonwagon, the passionate vegetarian, and it fits with this time of year and because it’s a lovely, brilliant side dish.  Something a little unusual for your table, not unlike Crescent herself.” Thanks, Joy!
  • Beth Fish Reads. And writes. And cooks. And photographs. And just about everything else. Here, she reviews The Cornbread Gospels and provides the Chipotle Cornbread recipe from it. And here, she reviews two earlier books, Passionate Vegetarian and Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread.
  • Life… Delicious. My sentiments exactly, and those of Sarah, who expands upon my own very wonderful hot fudge sauce from Passionate Vegetarian. Dang, we used to make this by the gallon back in the inn days. Anyway, Sarah uses it to climax a sprightly spring dinner — dessert, a do it yourself hot-fudge-sundae bar. More power to her, I say!
  • On Recipe Journey, Ohio blogger Elizabeth blogs about what she’s cooking, why, and how. I’m glad she decided on The Soup, from Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread, one day. Thanks, Elizabeth.
  • My friend Traca Savadago has been “writing the world through food” , or as she puts its, “a perspective beyond the plate” as Seattle Tall Poppy long before I got Deep Feast up and running.  Here, she writes about “11 Things I learned from Crescent Dragonwagon.” Just reread this, putting up here and I still find kind of “Aw, shucks” about all these nice things she has to say… Thanks, Trace!
  • She’s Cookin’ does 3 posts a week, two of recipes and one about an event, restaurant, or product; ” … classic comfort food and family favorites with a contemporary and healthier twist, ” as she — Priscilla — says. Happy she’s decided to twist into Passionate Vegetarian several times (“One of my go-to cookbooks”,   she says. OH, what gorgeous pictures she takes of my food. Our food, really – once someone makes a recipe of mine, in my mind, that’s what it becomes. BTW, though Priscilla’s now in California and I’m in Vermont, for a couple of decades we were semi-neighbors, sharing a home town — Eureka Springs, Arkansas — in the 80′s and 90′s).
  • Glenna Muse, once a front desk maven at the inn I co-owned & ran with my late husband, back in my former life, now lives in Springfield, Missouri. There, she now helps people catch their breath in a more literal way: she is a respirational therapist. She blogs at “A Fridge Full of Food… and nothing to eat.” And she claims my Chou-Chou’s Buttermilk Pie is WAY better than Paula Deen’s!  (She blogs about personal matters, and her work in the hospital, at G’s Spot).
  • Dal‘s a vegan/ vegetarian dish built around artfully seasoned legumes, that’s a basic daily staple for millions of Indians. Of artfully seasoned lentil, split pea, or bean stew. Here the very likable  Wendy Cholbi (“a woman, an entrepreneur, a mother -my daughter and son are 9 and 5, respectively- , a voracious reader, an organic gardener, a bit of a food snob, and an animal person- I live with two cats, and the hummingbirds that hang out at my office-window feeder are a daily joy…”) blogs primarily about let-me-help-you-with tech-related stuff.
  • From up on Granny Mountain, in the Ozarks of northwest Arkansas (my old stomping grounds) Joy Coleen Tilton write a blog that is a virtual welcome mat to a beautiful home replete with friends, family, critters, and food. One chilly January day, she choose one of her favorite soups, my Tomato-Potato Cheddar Cheese Soup with Beer, from Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread, and took off from there. Every cookbook author deserves to hear “Soup feeds the body, words feed the soul. “
  • When Passionate Vegetarian came out, Relish Magazine editor Candace Floyd was kind enough to do a most generous profile of me and the book, featuring several recipes, and saying extravagantly flattering things about me — which I’ve been trying to live up to ever since.
