Great foods for watching the Olympics..For Monday my clients have chosen a pretty diverse mix of what I call "comfort Vegan food", making the most of fresh seasonal veggies:


Vichysoisse..made with lots of fresh leeks, onions and coconut milk..blend and serve cool


A hearty Caldo Verde..a Portuguese soup made with vegetable broth, potatoes, kale, garlic and chickpeas, herbs and smoked paprika


Walnut-basil pesto with pine nuts, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice ( in place of salt) with Gluten free pasta


A fabulous lentil & yam stew, tomato based with garlic, collards and sage..a complete meal in a bowl


Lightly sauteed fresh asparagus with pinenuts..to be completed at client's home


Steamed millet with turmeric, and ground cardamom..a high protein grain
