Well, sadly, it's time to close the book on 1,000 Vegan Recipes — on this blog, that is. (Not in my kitchen, where it has officially secured a spot on my list of go-to cookbooks for quick, healthy, interesting meals.) As much as I wish I could do it, Robin Robertson and Wiley might not…

As you know if you've been reading over the past few months, almost all of my recent cooking has been from Robin Robertson's newest cookbook, 1,000 Vegan Recipes.

20 trail miles, 2 unplanned In further preparation for my first 50K (five days left!), I went for a long run this weekend with some friends, on the course where my second 50K — this one in January — will be run. We planned on 18 miles, but got lost for a little bit and…

My newest cookbook/love/obsession, 1,000 Vegan Recipes, is still batting 1,000. I've made four meals from it and all of them have been very good. I already told you about pasta with white bean and garlic sauce; here are the next three I've tried. Red bean chili: The stuff that kinda looks like meat — bulgur…
