After my first class at Gualala Arts at the end of January 2019 which was sold out, we decided to offer another class. While the basics will be the same, the menu will most likely be different as March is a different season than January, and I have a library of more than 400 recipes from which to choose. So come join me at Gualala
Instant Pot Apple Raisin Walnut Cake
There was just a big sale on the Kindle version of my cookbook Vegan Under Pressure. It has already come to my attention (again) that the publisher did not update the ingredient list for the Apple Raisin Walnut Cake. Sadly, there is no photograph for it – and I am too busy to make it and take one. So, you will have to believe me
“Perfect” Brown Rice in the Instant Pot
If you eat brown rice one of the biggest, and perhaps, most important Instant Pot questions is “how to get brown rice just like you want it”? After reading hundreds of answers to posts about brown rice, I am convinced that there are multiple issues involved when cooking brown rice so that it’s “perfect”. First, it seems like we don’t all like our brown rice
When Your Instant Pot Reads ON: What does that mean?
Here is one Instant Pot myth worth exploring. I just read someone exclaiming in a Facebook group that the pot says ON but nothing is happening.

I haven’t actually

The Simplest and Tastiest Instant Pot Vegan Chili
I know that I have a winning recipe when my husband takes the food on his own, eats it, proclaims it good and goes back for more. You see, my husband has not been a plant-eater for that long – only a few years. He still likes the more traditional and meatier-type things where I will go for the more vegetable heavy food. So when
Healthy Living at Your Library: Cooking in Season
Please join me at the Healdsburg Regional Library for a cooking demonstration using vegetables from local farmers markets for each season. As the seasons change so does the produce. Since our grocery stores have all kinds of produce year round, we often forget what’s in season, unless it’s a ripe summer tomato or a melon. However, we have abundant vegetables and fruit year round. Jill
Shepherd’s Pie (aka Cottage Pie) from Vegan Under Pressure
When it’s cold out which it is in most places these days, except for you lucky people down under, this is the kind of recipe that can warm you right up. The origin of Shepherd’s Pie was the shepherd using what he, or she, had around to make a dish worth eating. Since we are shepherding in a new way of eating for many people,
Instant Pot Giveaway Celebration for Vegan Under Pressure
I am thrilled to be celebrating that it has been a year since my latest cookbook Vegan Under Pressure was released. I honestly think that it’s selling better now than it was a year ago since so many more people have learned about the Instant Pot. To honor this occasion, with Instant Pot sponsoring this, I am giving away an Instant Pot DUO to one lucky
