Here’s the menu. Much of it comes from Eric Tucker’s The Millennium Cookbook and The Artful Vegan. Both of them seem to have excellent ideas, though I find, in all honesty, that I can’t follow the recipes as written. Each one that I tried in advance has needed…

On the heels of my recent meal at Millennium, in Oakland, CA, I made arrangements to try another vegan tasting menu, this time a little closer to home at French restaurant Everest, here in Chicago. Wait. What? A French restaurant that has a vegan tasting menu? I thought…
Small national chain with excellent vegan pizza offerings
Just go. This was one of the very best meals I have ever had, period. Full stop. I’d been getting excited in the days leading up to our reservation, reading and re-reading the menu. Each time gasping a little bit and truly in a quandary over what I…

A journey to the Bay Area isn’t entirely complete without a trip to Wine Country if you can spare it. Windsor is a cute little town just north of Santa Rosa. They have nicely built “town green” with a great little cluster of restaurants and apartments. It feels…
