Kale Force 3000…This Time It’s Personal (Kale Drink Recipe)
Kale is always in the RoodonFood fridge. Occasionally cooked on the stove top, most gets thrown into daily drinks . Via books like Kris Carr’s, I’ve learned that the leaves are tasty in raw, drink form and nutritious too boot (B6, C, K among others). Health books often recommend expensive juicers. If you can afford […]

Hoppin John Recipes – Vegan and Classic Versions
Happy New Year! For many Americans, especially Southerners, good luck meals on New Year’s Day are customary. A quintessential meal is called Hoppin John.

Eat & Run by Scott Jurek Review + Quinoa Porridge Recipe
Eat & Run by Scott Jurek with Steve Friedman As a runner, books like Scott Jurek’s Eat & Run are inspiring.

Orange Ginger Tamari Sweet Potato Noodles or Gandalf’s Beard?

RoodonFood Comfort Foods: Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
RoodonFood Turkey Meatloaf Recipe Despite our immigrant roots my parents grew to love American staples like meatloaf. Traditions are meant to be modified at times – We didn’t grow up eating beef so when Ma made meatloaf at home it’d be turkey or sometimes even chicken. The version below works with either. It’s difficult to […]
Collard Greens Recipe
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! If leafy greens were like an 80s movie, kale would be the rich kids named Thad, Chaz and Victoria. Collards would be like working class Lloyd Dobler.

Full of vitamin A, Vitamin C and fiber, these cruciferous veggies taste great on the stove top with butter and bacon or even simpler is the roasting recipe below. Roasting removes part of the sourness […]
