A lot of people worry that they wont be able to get enough plant based protein on a vegan diet. I was also concerned about this myself before I went vegan. You dont need to be concerned because its actually very easy to get enough complete protein on a vegan or plant based diet. The real trick is to make sure the sources of protein come from whole foods which also have enough micronutrients to provide all your daily nutritional needs. We dont need to be as concerned about protein as we do about getting all of our vitamins and minerals. So a whole foods diet based on fruit and veg is optimal. But I do understand that protein is...
Tweet Weve all fallen into the trap of setting the bar a little too high when it comes to entertaining. We see these celebrity chefs like the Pioneer Woman and Paula Deen throwing amazing parties and cooking for large groups of people to show off how great of a host they are, but when Ive tried to throw parties like this, something always seems to go wrong!

Winter snaps her fingers, and all the world turns white. We seem to have skipped autumn this year, going from hot to cold like the turn of a tap. The leaves on the oak and beech trees still dance green on the branches, only the birch has bronzed. Fog clings to the mornings, and the birds queue keenly for their daily fat balls. In the kitchen, my efforts turn toward stews, soups; hearty fare to keep out the chill. As ever, there are wild and free ingredients to prepare, for food or for hot drinks to full my morning mug. This recipe is, by my own admission, a bit of a faff. But it is very tasty, and I found...

Asset, the new modern restaurant buzzing the Upper West Side. The cousin to Tessa, Asset (spelt Tessa backwards) introduces a new concept to the family-oriented neighborhood. A buzzworthy space from the owners Will Tracy and Larry Bellone (who also owns Tessa) Asset enlightens the charming UWS with something different. Good different. Firstly, chains, metal and wood accents present an edgy look for guests entering the restaurant. High curved ceilings hover over the long brass bar and dinner tables located on both the lower and upper level. Very different from the better-known family-friendly neighborhood eateries decked out with family portraits. Typically displayed on eatery walls found on the Upper West. Secondly, a DJ exists. Every Thursday and Saturday night the industrial...
