The Basics: You won&#8217;t find portabello mousse at Caravan of Dreams. This is a real, hippydippy vegetarian restaurant. The kind that might scare away a carnivorous skeptic. Half the menu is raw or &#8220;live&#8221;, while everything is organic, vegan and kosher. Anyone with an open mind willl appreciate the worldly possibilities on the menu. I [...]]]></description>

But after arriving at Northern Spy Food Company at 9:30 and informed of the 1 hour, 30 minute wait, my friend and I had to think fast.  Luckily, Lebanese newcomer Balade was a stone&#8217;s throw away.

This delicately sweet and hearty soup is perfect on a snow-filled day like today. With just a few ingredients, the flavors come together. You can get creative here with your favorite greens and spices. I used cumin but feel free to swap for anything else. You can make this soup in advance for weekday lunches [...]]]></description>

Each year around the Jewish holiday of Passover, we see pieces on kosher wine.  “Kosher Wine&#8211;it’s not just Manischewitz anymore!” The headline usually reads. Last year I wrote a similar post (Ahem, Kosher Wines Demand Your Attention!) Wine Enthusiast [...]]]></description>

Anyone can cook a hamburger, But leave the vegetables to the professionals.
I may not fully agree with that statement from the Dirt Candy website, but if I were to leave my vegetables to anybody, it would be Chef Amanda Cohen, the mastermind behind this East Village crevice of a restaurant.

This is the second, very colorful vegetarian dish that I prepared for Tu B&#8217;Shevat last week. Whole wheat pasta gets cloaked in a pistachio/garlic/salt blend and tossed with bright pomegranate seeds and hearty kale. It&#8217;s a great cross-section of salty sweetness and one nourishing bowl of pasta!
Save a couple large kale leaves to garnish your [...]]]></description>

Everything is pleasant at Ditch Plains, a laid-back West Village fish shack. The fuss-free menu features creature comforts like lobster rolls, fish and chips and chilli. The &#8220;fish shack&#8221; theme plays out in complimentary oyster crackers and a cup of taffy but the steely space feels far from a shack. You might not expect amazing [...]]]></description>

Rather than feverishly tracking Grub Street and Tasting Table reports, I was able to take a breather last month, and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve missed anything. Despite fewer openings, many new quality spots opened their doors in January including [...]]]></description>

For my Tu B&#8217;Shevat feast on Saturday, I decided to go beyond the plethora of fruit and go-green with a vegetarian dinner. I find myself constantly excited by the recipes on 101 Cookbooks, and I had plenty of creative vegetarian recipes saved to make a full meal. I&#8217;ve modified Heidi&#8217;s Arugula Pesto Wheat Berries recipe [...]]]></description>

It is a holiday fit for foodies (as most Jewish holidays are) because we consume a plethora of fruit and wine. Tu B&#8217;Shevat honors trees. The [...]]]></description>
