Kale and Kill: 96 Vegan Recipes Inspired by the Speaker-Blowing Music of Manowar
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Death to False Vegans
The only thing I love more than vegan food is the true metal stylings of Auburn, New York’s own Manowar. So when it came time to get inspired for my next cookbook, I put Fighting the World on an endless loop and got cooking. The result? Ninety sixbrand-new recipes inspired by Guinness World Record holders for loudest performance, Manowar. Oh, and a foreword written by the greatest metal nerd of our time, Brian Posehn.

#SheikClass Vegan Sabzi Polow
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Even though I love doing weird things in the kitchen (like changing Agnostic Front lyrics to make them about cake – “it’s my, it’s my, it’s my slice!”) I tend to stay pretty close to my comfort zone. I know Italian, I know white people Mexican and Thai, I know junk food… so that’s where I stay.That’s why I recently took RawSpiceBar up on their offer to send me their March Spice Box. I’ll back up…
RawSpiceBar is a spice subscription box – for $6 each month, you’ll rece...

Native Foods’ Vegan “Eggs” Benedict
From BakeandDestroy.net:
I started typing up this whole long thing about why I don’t eat eggs because recently, I was called “an extremist” for that very reason. I started writing about how maybe, when I post vegan recipes as I have been strictly doing since 2011, (you will find some non-vegan recipes from 2006-2010′s posts) I should start the recipe with the ethical reason for it’s necessary.
But then I remembered how many people have told me that they went vegetarian, or even vegan, because...

JuiceXCore 101: A Crash Course in Drinking Squished Produce
From BakeandDestroy.net:
My standard green: two limes, a big hunk of ginger, a few handfuls of spinach, and a large apple.
I love making juice. I love drinking juice. I love making vibrant colors and sweet and spicy flavors and I especially love how I feel when I drink a really good juice.
Whenever I come up with a really great juice I Instagram it along with a list of all the ingredients I used (I’ve collected them all on a Pinterest boardfor you, too). A lot of people ask me where I get the...

Boston Hardcore Pie – Happy Birthday CM Punk!
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Can you believe I made this graphic all by myself?
Natalie’s note: Digging this one out of the archives in honor of Pie Day!
The other day (October 26, to be exact,) was my friend Phil’sbirthday. Most of the world knows him has the lovable jerk CM Punk, harasser of bosses and The Best in the World. I know him as the lovable jerk who is notoriously difficult to birthday shop for. I think gift-wise I did pretty OK this year, but the cake is always the hardest part.
See,...

Vegan Deep Dish Breakfast Pizza
From BakeandDestroy.net:
My husband Tony recently acquired two items – a wok, and a cast iron skillet. Therefore, as hedoes most of the cooking, everything we have eaten in the last three weeks or so has been cooked either in the wok, or in the cast iron skillet. This has been wonderful because stir fry and deep dish pizza are two of my favorite things to eat.
Tony has already made amazing vegan deep dish pizza featuring Chao Slicesand Upton’s Italian Seitan, but if you have my cookbook you als...

A Love Letter to Americoke
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Freedom tastes weird and awesome.
Tony and I played hookie this past Friday the 13th to go see the Vodou: Sacred Powers of Haiti exhibit at the Field Museum. We kicked off the day with giant plates full of vegan biscuits and gravy from West Town Bakeryand then spent about two hours poking around the museum looking at the exhibit (which was awesome) and marveling at the museum’s massive collection of taxidermiedbirds until we got sick of being around so many other humans...

Viva Vegan Pasta Carbonara with Shiitake Bacon
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Once in a while I get my hands on a cookbook that I just cannot stop using. Julie Hasson’s Vegan Casseroles is one of them, and Chloe Coscarelli’s Vegan Italian Kitchen is my latest. I’ve tried a handful of the recipes, each of which I would absolutely make again. You don’t really need any hard-to-find ingredients, and if you have a good blender or food processor, most of them come together quickly and easily for a really impressive meal. I shared my version of this di...

Keep It Vegan Review + Macaro-no Cheese with Crispy Kale
From BakeandDestroy.net:
I recently received a review copy of Keep It Vegan: Over 100 Simple, Healthy & Delicious Dishesby Aine Carlin, and am sharing my favorite recipe, mac n’ no-cheese with crispy kale because if there’s one stereotype about vegans that rings true, it is our undying love of kale.
If this cookbook and my cookbook
went to high school together, they probably wouldn’t have hung out. Keep It Vegan is very lady-like, where as my book has several references to Cannibal Corpse and Sk...
