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…

A few times a year usually in the summer I come across a photo of what looks like the perfect BLT sandwich. Plump vibrant heirloom tomatoes juicy lettuce crispy bacon and a ribbon of mayonnaise oozing out of perfectly toasted bread. It looks incredible. The problem is I don’t eat bacon. So I usually make a sandwich that attempts to meet many of the same requirements something along the lines of this sandwich (9 years ago!). Recipes evolve and I thought I’d share the updated version that I’ve been making lately—a very similar concept with a mix of coconut “bacon” and crumbled tempeh seasoned and fried alongside the coconut. You can make a big batch of this and keep it in the freezer for quick use. All in all it’s a legitimate alternative for your vegetarian and vegan friends or just anyone interested in plant-based meals.
