Not your average cookie

These may look like a regular double chocolate cookie--don't be deceived! These are the "Chocolate Agave Trailmixers" from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. We used walnuts for the nut, raisins, and chocolate chips in a dough with cocoa and agave nectar (instead of sugar) for a wholesome and delicious cookie. We highly recommend this recipe, but especially the cookbook!

The Watermelon Radish


So, this is a lovely shot of the little watermelon radish that we had today. As you can see, this radish gets its name from the color inside. We ate the radish sliced with hummus. They're crunchy and a little bitter, and really quite delicious (as you can see from Caitlin's delighted smile). We love these radishes so much that we named our blog for them!

Tofu stir-fry! Just a quick lunch that I livened up with brown rice and a sweet-and-sour sauce found on thekitchn.

Hello World!

It's Caitlin and Chelsea here. We are two Columbia freshmen dedicated to the culinary arts. Alas, trapped within the walls of an ivy league institution, ignoring our dreams of culinary school and cut off from any decent kitchen, we must make do with our lone wok and aspirations of creating amazing food. Thus, we will document our culinary endeavors with this blog.
