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…

The black bean brownies were an unexpected hit so I thought I’d give you another quirky recipe. I’m actually having a hard time deciding whether to tell you about the Heavenly Pie or the book it’s from first—both are refreshingly unique and excellent in their own ways. So how about a little about each? The book is called Country Wisdom & Know-How: Everything You Need to Know to Live Off the Land . I stumbled upon it while browsing the shelves of a San Francisco bookstore and its unique (read: gigantic) size and design caught my eye. With high expectations I flipped straight to the jam-packed recipe section where the Heavenly Pie greeted me like black text on newspaper. I made it ate it and engaged everyone who took a slice in a game of “guess what’s inside.” Picture a honey-sweetened graham cracker crust filled with a cream cheese-chocolate filling. Sounds pretty typical but here’s where things get interesting. The recipe calls for equal parts tofu and cream cheese in the filling. This combination creates a decadent mousse-like texture that is also easy to slice into precise slices. It wasn’t overly sweet and the buttery crust played off the light chocolate flavor beautifully.
