    FoodArts is my guilty pleasure. I check the mail so often, surely the mail man thinks I'm stalking him! FoodArts is an industry magazine that has news, recipes, and the latest innovations in food and equipment happening now. Ok so maybe it's not for everyone, but I really enjoy it. I usually pore over the pages and marvel at how quickly the industry changes, I try to find old classmates in the " deep dish" section, and wish I could recreate the amazing recipes at home. Sigh.

    Latest edition of FoodArts

    Some of the recipes are simple and can be recreated; others have ingredients not available to the home cook like gum arabic and gellan gum; some use techniques like sous-vide cooking and pressure cooking that require special equipment; but mostly the recipes are just time consuming. The magazine is not geared to the home cook, so none of this should come as a surprise. I just can't really justify spending 3 days on a dish when I know for sure that both the hubby and the munchkin would be happy with pasta, tomato sauce, and cheese. Oh wait! We're not eating cheese right now so I guess just pasta and sauce.

    Yes, we're still doing the vegan thing, except for one day a week. The one day a week has really helped us to not get frustrated, and we usually try not to go overboard and pig out. With the exception of this week, when we ate at Trattoria Neapolis in Pasadena. The chef, Bryant Wigger, is a friend of ours and we couldn't resist working our way through the menu. It has taken me the rest of the week to recover from my food coma.

     

    Tagine cooking.

    This recipe for Moroccan Vegetable Tagine is one of the best plant-based recipes we have tried yet. The flavors are intense and perfectly balanced. You can find the original recipe in the FoodArts issue of September 2012. It was created by Chef Laurence Jossel of Nopa in San Francisco. I have adapted it to fit my current needs and to make it more accessible to the home cook.

      You can tell this would be full of flavour – it is tricky sometimes to find vegetable or plant-based meals that taste amazing, although you probably know Ottolenghi is super (http://www.ottolenghi.co.uk/blog/category/recipes/) and I love the Leon Gobi (http://www.urbanfoodie.net/recipes/leon-gobi). Will try this soon..
