I recently received a review copy of Vegan Desserts: Sumptuous Sweets for Every Season by Hannah Kaminsky—and oh-em-gee, I think this book might be my favorite vegan cookbook ev-ah!
First, lemme preface this review by saying that I have zero (maybe even negative zero… wait, that’s still zero) cooking skills and finesse when it comes to [...]
Every night before I go to bed, I pray to the magical, mystical unicorns of the universe to bring Maggie Mudd to LA. I’ve had my fair share of scrumptious deliumptious vegan ice cream, but I have to say Maggie Mudd takes the (ice cream) cake. If you live in San Francisco and you like [...]
There have been quite a few vegan bake sale fundraisers in L.A. lately (which I’m all about), with proceeds going toward helping animals. Yay! I’ve had my fair share of vegan cupcakes but some of the most moist, floofiest, scrumptious-deliumptious cupcakes I’ve ever tried at these events were made by 13-year-old cupcake extraordinaire, [...]
There’s a new ice cream parlor in town, folks! KindKreme (formerly Nice Cream), located in Studio City, CA, serves organic, raw, and mostly vegan (3 of their ice cream flavors contain honey) ice cream. They also have smoothies, shakes, juices, raw desserts and soft serve!

With the kazillion bunzillion vegan restaurants in L.A. (making this city a vegan paradise), I have to say that M Café is definitely one of my all time favorites (it’s in my top 5). M Café serves natural and organic macrobiotic food which is 90% vegan (steer clear of their fish). They have the most [...]
A couple weeks ago, I blogged about Dojo, a cheap & yummy NYC eatery, where I locked eyes with the deliciously hot David Duchovny (don’t tell my hubby I said that!) Well, if you ever happen to make it out to Dojo, you better save room for dessert. Just a few yards away [...]
Yahoooo! I used to love Easter candy! Heck, I still do. Thanks to all the amazing modern day vegan Willy Wonkas like Allison at Allison’s Gourmet, we vegans can relish in old time traditions (like chowing down on tasty, chocolatey, bunny-shaped treats) like we used to back in the day. Now we can celebrate Spring [...]
