Roasted Cauliflower with Hazelnuts and Pickled Celery

Sweet roasted cauliflower is topped with a peppery nutty seasoning and tart pickled celery for crunch. This delicious salad makes an excellent lunch all by itself. It could be a fancy first course served with Whipped Ricotta and nice bread and would make an excellent accompaniment to fish.

Vegetable Stew with Dried Lime served with a Baked Black Chickpea Pancake

This is one of the most healthful and comforting menus that I make. This stew recipe slow cooks vegetables and pairs them with fresh herbs and citrus to make a delicous and comforting dish without much fat and no animal products. The chickpea pancake is nutty and satifying, simple to make and also entirley vegan and gluten free. The exact vegetables used in the stew are wildly flexible to what is in season, available and to your tastes. This menu is truly all over the global map.

The salad I eat almost everyday

This is what I pack for lunch when I go to work. Crispy vegetables, creamy dressing, crunchy topping and a bit of flavorful protein.
