Wasabimon!

For me, cold weather means a slight increase in spicy food. Not too much of an increase - I’m the world’s biggest puss when it comes to spiciness - but just enough to break a slight sweat and warm those frigid toes a bit. This week’s loveliness is care of Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Romero over at the Post Punk Kitchen. Their new book, Veganomicon, really is the ultimate vegan cookbook. It’s literally a tome of goodness.

This week I made the potato kale enchiladas with a side of mexican millet (in our drunken haze we kept calling it mexican mullet. heh). I can tell you that as the first thing I’ve made from this book, it was divine. Better than divine. I’ve made a lot of good gluten free vegan food, but the flavor and subtle spiciness that these two recipes packed was really unexpected for, well, potatoes, kale, and millet.

There’s so much crammed into this book that you probably won’t need another one for quite a while. Well, until Lolo’s book comes out, at least.

Orbit covets his two copies of Veganomicon (and no, he doesn’t normally look like he’s possessed by the devil):
