Food for Fashion


I think I've been inspired - and lately have been trying my hand at creating vegan recipes. Maybe you can only read so many cookbooks before it starts to influence you. I am loving it!

If only there was more time in a day to try new techniques and combine different flavors. Yes, I am like a gleeful mad scientist in the kitchen, fingers tented while pondering which spice to reach for next.

Tonight I made a marinated tofu sandwich, with an almost pesto (vegan of course) topped it off with sun dried tomatoes fresh basil and baby spinach. I picture this paired with a greens and artichoke heart salad tossed in a bit of sesame oil and a squeeze of lemon. But, we did not have sesame seed oil. Mario made some baked fries instead. And I added a little bunch of grapes.

This is what it looked like at the table.

Yum.

Most of us love good food, and most of us love fashion. (If you're reading a style blog I'm assuming you at least have some interest in fashion) While food and fashion can go hand in hand- a well catered fashion related party, 'hip' restaurants full of the well to do and fashionable, arty photographs where dresses and headpieces are made of fruits and vegetables etc. - sometimes though, it is just not a good idea...mmhmm those are 'baguette hats'.

  1. The sandwich looks so delicious! I used to go on a macrobiotic diet (a kind of vegan...do you know of it?) and had to stop it for some reasons but I still love (and miss) how creative vegan recipes can be :)

  2. Well you know, you are walking down the road, you get a little hungry so you reach up and take a bite out of your hat...

    Your vegan recipes sound so tasty, only I think I'd like the presence of cheese. I adore cheese. All kinds, all the time.

  3. Oh man, that sandwich looks like the bomb. I really need to get a blender so I can make pesto and spreads... I feel like that would make my experience as a part-time vegan even better. :D

    Those outfits are terrible! I feel so bad for the egg girl! >D

  4. That's a tasty looking sandwich. How long have you been a vegan? I stopped eating meat about six years ago, but still eat fish now and then.

  5. Mario's a good man with his oven fries. And that is one delicious looking sandwich.
    I kind of like that egg outfit. Sometimes, I just want to put on a purposefully round top/dress/coat.
