For New Yorkers, there's nothing like a delicious red onion sauce to go on your hot dog. But, what if you eat plant-based and avoid hot dogs like the plague? Never fear! I came up with my own recipe for the red onion sauce and it’s amazing. It’s rich, tomato-y and tangy. I can eat it out of the pot with a spoon. I can and I did. I dare say that it's even better than the one that comes from the carts and bonus points for the fact that you can put it over your favorite brand of veggie based dog.

When Rhea became vegan, there were no places in her Bronx neighborhood to eat, so she learned to cook, mostly by watching TV cooking shows, especially Christina Pirello and Rachael Ray.  That led to the creation of The "V" Word website, which focuses on vegan versions of favorite, familiar foods. In addition, Rhea has written several e-cookbooks, which are available on her website. Rhea hopes to spread the "V" Word to bring more compassion into the world, and it is her dream to become the vegan Rachael Ray.
