Pesto Pizza with Pizzazz

Last week was a very busy week setting up the workshop for a series of cooking videos that will be coming up in the next few months. It left the crew tired and very hungry at the end of the day so when someone suggested ordering a pizza, I knew it was time to spring into action. While everyone was arguing about the toppings and which restaurants had vegan options I went to the fridge and took out some of the dough I keep for just an occasion. The dough is very simple. If you are like me, you’ll keep some on hand in the fridge or in the freezer where it can last for months. In a few minutes the smell of fresh pizza permeated through the shop and everyone was munching on fresh pizza that satisfied everyone since they got to pick exactly the toppings they wanted. Ingredients: Quick Dough: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 Tbs sea salt 1/2 cup filtered water 1 Tbs coconut milk (family’s secret ingredient) Pesto: 1 bunch of basil 3 garlic cloves 1/4 Tbs sa...

Esquites - The Best Street Food I Grew Up With

Whenever I've visited México, one of the first things I look for is the street vendors who sell Esquites. To see the care that goes into one of these little cups is nothing short of wondrous. Each vendor has their own way to prepare them as there are long discussions among our family as to who has the best ones. Unfortunately, many of the ingredients offered are not plant based like the crema or the cheese so when I'm home in San Francisco, I can't help but make my own, This is how I usually prepare mine but feel free to experiment with different layers. If you tried and you liked them, send me a picture on facebook or instagram . Ingredients: 2 Ears of fresh corn 1 Avocado 2 Limes 1/2 Cup pressed and diced tofu 1/4 Cup vegan mayonnaise My ready to go Red Salsa My ready to go Green Salsa Salt Pepper Instructions: 1. Roast the ears of corn in the oven or if you have the grill on, it's even better when you char them. 2. Slice the kernels o...
