My dad's recipe. Four days and they're done. They keep for a month, if they last that long.

Boiled green plantains, mashed smooth. The pickled onion topping is not optional.

Peppery, deep, and worth the hour it takes on the stove.

Vegan Mulligatawny is, hands down, the heartiest soup you'll ever have.

If you know anyone who thinks vegan food is boring, make them eat this.

Who said soup isn't a summer dish?

This is mostly an exercise in technique. None of the ingredients are groundbreaking, but how you treat them will make all the difference.

Go low, go slow, and be rewarded with a better version of what canned refried beans has to offer.

Silky whipped sweet potatoes with cardamom butter, topped with golden crispy shallots. A side dish that upstages everything else on the table.

Perfect for when you're craving a creamy pasta, but it's the middle of summer.

We all need a back-pocket rice and beans recipe that doesn't cost much, doesn't get old, and can be endlessly monkeyed with as long as the ratios remain the same.

A vegan mushroom and lentil pâté that mimics foie gras, served on garlic bread made with real intention. Surprisingly rich, deeply umami.

A warming carrot and sweet potato soup topped with smoky, golden paprika croutons made from day-old crusty bread. Cozy, easy, and deeply satisfying.

Trust me, the bread makes all the difference. Find a baker you trust, and I really mean trust, before making this.

Crispy, herb-packed falafel made from dried chickpeas — never canned. The technique is everything, and this recipe doesn't cut corners.

Not that there is any reason to dislike traditional pesto, but just in case you're feeling adventurous.

If you're having it for breakfast, don't be a fool. Put an egg on top.

The good news is you can make this spice blend and throw it on any type of protein. Shawarma is a state of mind.

Obviously, you're going to have just beans for dinner (unless, maybe?) so you might consider some tacos

For your next lunch, dinner, or breakfast depending on when you come across this recipe.
