Jamaican steamed cabbage and carrots

Kimchi is to Korea as steamed cabbage is to Jamaica. Honestly steamed cabbage with corned beef is more like it, but since this month is about no meat, I left out the salty delicacy and made a yummy dish of cabbage and carrots on all its own.

It always happens that the day I decide to cook soup is a cold and gloomy day. I had potato soup down to make but then I used the potatoes for dinner the day before. My mother had a pumpkin and I found some truffle butter in the refrigerator, a-las a recipe is born.

Cashew coconut cream pasta

I have always wanted to try my hand at a cashew cream sauce. I figured no better time than the present since this month is all about recipes that are vegan and vegetarian. This pasta was really hearty and flavorful. A new favorite way to sue cashews.

Maple BBQ cauliflower nuggets

I guess I’m the last one to truly get on the cauliflower train. This is the first time I have purchased cauliflower since 2015 when I made a gratin and some fried cauliflower and broccoli bites. I absolutely adore this recipe. It is one that many meat eaters would approve of, most probably wouldn’t even know they were eating cauliflower. My mother made a food network version last month and could not stop talking about how good it was. So, I decided to add it to the list.

Pistachio Pesto potato salad

Many are the ways a potato salad can be made. Like seriously, there are just too many options when it comes to potatoes. After all, I did dedicate a month of recipes to these spuds a few years back. And I can still come up with even more ways to use them. This is a very herby and flavorful potato salad. Anyone who loves chives and pistachios will adore this. And its vegan!

Jamaicans consume a lot of porridge. Peanut, hominy, cornmeal, plantain, rice, oatmeal, cream of wheat, green banana, bulgur, you name it. If a porridge can be made from it, we make it. My favorite ones are hominy, plantain and oatmeal. Today I try my hand at green banana.
