About

Utopian Kitchen:  Peacefully-obtained food, superior nutrition, and great flavors.

This is my blog for food photographs and other miscellaneous posts.  I love to cook and share my creations with others; I also think it’s nice for people to see a sample of recipes from certain cookbooks.  With a large volume of vegetarian (more correctly,  omnivorous but with no actual flesh products) and vegan cookbooks available, it’s sometimes time-consuming to decide what is best for a certain person and their needs.

Everything I make is and always will be vegan and hydrogenated oil-free.  If you see French toast or cheese, no doubt they are dairy- and egg-free.  My focus is also on maximizing nutrition; I try to use various different grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruit.  I also like to experiment with gluten-free and wheat-free items.  Please feel free to comment and ask me for a recipe if you’d like one.  If you need assistance preparing cruelty-free foods, do not hesitate to ask! 

UPDATE:  Note that in June of 2009, I sold/gave away many of my cookbooks.  I still have some and all of my raw books.  If you would like a recipe and I have it, I will give it to you.  However, I may not have all recipes anymore.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks for visiting!
