1. Crispy Tofu in a Sweet and Sour Sauce

There are many ways to turn plain, uninteresting tofu into a culinary masterpiece. My preferred method is rather simple, and it’s ideal for those occasions when I want to get dinner on the table in under half an hour: fry or bake until crispy, then combine with a sauce of my choice. The sauce for this Crispy Tofu in a Sweet and Sour Sauce by Maria Gureeva is of an umami variety, which works well with the chewy, crispy tofu.   Reprinted with permission from Earthy Vegan Eats by Maria Gureeva, Page Street Publishing, Co. 2021.

Hello, creamy goodness. You can’t really say no to a healthy no-bake key lime pie, can you?! This Mini No-Bake Key Lime Pies by Robin Browne has a nutty, and simple base, that compliments the star (the filling) beautifully. The filling is creamy, tangy, and full of healthy fats. This gluten and dairy-free dessert is a lovely combination of a key lime pie and a mini key lime cheesecake- the best of both worlds.

7. Wild Rice Salad with Mushroom Bacon

This Wild Rice Salad with Mushroom Bacon by Maria Gureeva will prove that salads need to be neither cold nor boring. A salad done right bursts with flavor and leaves you satisfied for hours, not minutes. It’s a question of having a solid, carby base, plenty of texture, a good dressing and a fun twist—such as the mushroom bacon in this case. The versatility of a rice salad makes it suitable for winter party tables and barbecues alike. If you don’t have wild rice, any rice variety of your choice would make a great alternative!     Reprinted with permission from Earthy Vegan Eats by Maria Gureeva, Page Street Publishing, Co. 2021.
