VegNews Magazine March/April 2012New High-Tech Chef Column
My "High-Tech Chef" column in the March/April "Vegan Man Issue" of VegNews Magazine focuses on some of my favorite fungi. Move beyond the standard portobello and enjoy raw shimenji and king trumpet mushrooms in Fresh Mushroom Ceviche (check out Nora Kuby's beautiful photo of my ceviche on her Pride & Vegudice blog) and seared maitake and shiitake mushrooms in Sesame Mushroom & Soba Noodle Salad. I am also honored to be included with my adorable two-year-old son in the same issue's "Vegan Dads!" feature. While you're at it, why not treat yourself or someone you love to a gift subscription to keep up with my column and recipes throughout the year!
