The recipes you'll find here are vegetarian often vegan and written with the home cook in mind. This site has been my online "home base" for almost twenty years. It was originally built on the premise that once you own over 100 cookbooks (raise your hand!) it's time to stop buying and start cooking. This site chronicles a cookbook collection one (vegetarian) recipe at a time. But there's more to the story now that we're a few decades into it here's a little background on me and the site…

There are a few things that make my basic chocolate cake recipe different from others but before I get into the details I need to write a little about the type of chocolate cake we are dealing with. This is not one of those layered fancy chocolate cakes. I am not very good at those. This is a simple relatively unremarkable chocolate cake. An everyday chocolate cake that you might not make every day. It is a chocolatey moist not too complicated and delicious cake. I make and serve the icing in one pan – usually a Pyrex that I picked up at a yard sale years ago. There is no added sugar to the cake or icing (I use maple syrup) and whole wheat flour is used in the batter. A generous layer of fresh chocolate whipped cream icing tops it all off (also sweetened with maple syrup).
