Beans, Beans the Musical Fruit
By Gabriela on August 17, 2011
(I think my grandfather actually taught my brother and I that song back in the day. He’s the man.) In case you haven’t guessed, today we practiced cooking beans. Like grains, they’re not really my favorite thing to eat, but today’s recipes were pretty good. For most kitchen sessions, we’re divided into groups. Today, the [...]

The Regulars
By Gabriela on August 17, 2011
Since starting school, I’ve been going to the gym right when it opens every morning. Call me crazy, but mornings are my most alert and productive time of day, so I’d rather rise while it’s still dark out and get some stuff done before most of the world is even up! Over the past few [...]

(I never really thought about it before, but it turns out they’re actually exactly the same thing. Weird, right? I’m going to start roasting cookies and baking vegetables.) Anyway, first day back at the Natural Gourmet Institute after my two-week break! The vacation was kind of awkward timing, since the school always closes for the [...]

Cinnamon-Raisin Cookie Dough Balls
By Gabriela on August 15, 2011
It’s a well-known fact that the best part of vegan baking is the lack of gross things potentially lurking in the raw raw dough. Because let’s be real here: 90% of the time, the dough is better than the finished product. So being able to eat said dough without the threat of praying to the [...]
