VEGAN JACKFRUIT STEW
For this vegan jackfruit stew recipe we tried something different. We usually only cook with shredded jackfruit but in order to mimic chunks of beef we opted for chunked jackfruit!

VEGAN FRENCH ONION SOUP
Vegan French onion soup was a must make for us as soon as fall hit! Growing up my mom used to make me French onion soup during the colder seasons. It was only fitting that I made a vegan version of my own! I don’t know if I can put it into words but, do…

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM STEAKS
These portobello mushroom steaks are so perfect for a holiday or fancy meal! We have been attracted to portobello mushrooms lately because of their deep earthy flavour and meaty texture. Portobellos contain a lot of moisture so we used a bake and pan fry method to get most of that water content out of the…
