It’s that time of year again! As Autumn comes in and all that holiday baking is on the horizon, I always have maple pecan pie on my mind. It’s a classic for Thanksgiving and I can never get enough of it. Egg replacement for…

When I was writing the proposal for my second cookbook, one of the first recipes I’d made for it was a Thai green pea soup. This recipe is kind of a riff on that but instead has broccoli soup as its base with lots…
