RoodonFood Reviews: Sacred Chow Vegan/Kosher/Gluten Free (Greenwich Village, New York City)
Sacred Chow in the Greenwich Village serves up some of the best vegan food in the New York. It says a lot that as a meat eater I crave their food. In business since 1995, we learned of this spot via Groupon two years ago. The restaurant features sandwiches, many Asian inspired entrees, and a […]
Georgian Phkali – Spinach and Walnut Dip Recipe (Georgian Food Month, Part 1)
Part 1: Georgian Food Month This month I wanted to highlight the food of Georgia. This tiny nation east of the Black Sea mixes some of the best influences of Asia and Europe to create its cuisine.

Pineapple Miso Cilantro Sauce Via Vegetarian Times
Post Superbowl (congrats Patriots), we happened to have leftover pineapple (from pizza) and cilantro (from nachos). After a bit of googling I came across this Vegetarian Times “sambal” which means sauce in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and other countries. We didn’t modify much from the original recipe except the amounts. I love how the miso thickens […]
Gluten Free Vegan Sugar Cookies
Christmas means cookie time. I love sugar cookies for their simplicity and their seasonality, plus bonus sprinkles! We just made our first batch using the gluten free recipe from Minimalist Baker. We followed the instructions fairly closely though we made them vegan by substituting flax egg for regular egg and rice for regular milk. We […]
Review: Hi, I’m Skinny Sweet Potato Sticks (7oz)
Usually I don’t care for brands with skinny in the title. I made an exception for “Hi I’m Skinny” (HIS) because they’re sweet potato flavor and it doesn’t have any of the aforementioned imagery. Also, it was on sale at the local Rite Aid for $2.50. Calories conscious folks will be happy to read that […]
Enjoy Life Gingerbread Spice Cookies Review
Enjoy Life makes great products. I’ve previously reviewed soft-baked chocolate chip and crunchy double chocolate cookies. These gingerbread spice cookies are easily the best of the bunch though. It’s deceptively tricky to make a cookie that is vegan, gluten free, soft and actually tastes great. Every bite fills the mouth with the brightness of ginger […]
What’s In My Food? Xanthan Gum
RoodonFood Note: What’s That In My Food is a new series where I’ll be exploring some of the stranger sounding ingredients in common foods and recipes. If you’ve ever bought salad dressing or baked anything gluten free, odds are you’ve come across “xanthan gum.” Generally used as a thickener and/or emulsifier, only small amounts are […]

It’s naturally vegan and gluten free so it’s something that can be eaten on sandwiches, with chips. It’s easy to make as long as you have access to some type of […]
World Cup Foods: Frijoles Antioquenos (Colombian Cargamanto Bean Stew)
In the World Cup, at 4pm EST Colombia takes on Uruguay in one of the first Group of 16 matches. Uruguay is playing sans star-player and serial biter Luis Suarez. Without it’s hungriest team member and dulce de leche how can they possibly win? In this matchup I’m going for Colombia who are the clear […]
