TV host, chef, and author Toni Fiore, as part of her cooking demo on “delicious vegan recipes using odds and ends,” prepared a Dan Barber-esque millet beet burger that credibly impersonated a beef burger in color and texture. “I’m a strong believer in food being a tactile as well as a taste experience," Fiore said.Mission accomplished.
I want to go on the record that I don’t think chocolate for breakfast is particularly healthy, but if you are going to have chocolate for breakfast, working it into this super-grain porridge is a good way to go. The grains are cooked with hazelnut milk, so it’s like Nutella, minus the palm oil and the bread you smear the Nutella on. If you don’t have all four grains on hand, use whatever combination of grains you like, as long as you start with 1 cup uncooked grains.

If you're a fan of couscous, then you might like this healthy summer vegetable whole-grain pilaf. Millet is a grain that cooks up nice and dry like couscous but with a chewier texture. Many historians point to its origins in China, where millet was used to make flour for noodles. Unlike many whole grains, millet cooks quickly, in 20 minutes or less.
The dressing for this recipe has a touch of honey in it; it's not cloying or candy-like in its flavors as honey-based dressings can sometimes become. Instead, it delivers a subtle sweetness to the pilaf that doesn't mask the naturally smoky flavor of the grilled vegetables.

There’s no disputing the exquisite flavor of extra-virgin olive oil in a host of savory dishes, but it is also worthy of praise as a key ingredient in desserts.

Using all parts of the vegetable, like using all parts of the animal, is very trendy right now, and I respect any movement that rejects throwing away food. I use the tops from the carrots as the greens in this salad, but truth be told, carrot tops don’t have a lot of flavor, so I tangle them together with parsley. This way I can feel good about the fact that I am not wasting the carrot tops, and also about the fact that my salad has flavor.Being the native Californian that I am, I thought I knew raisins, but then I took a trip to my local Middle Eastern market and discovered a whole wall of raisin varieties, including two sizes of currants, jumbo raisins as big as dried cherries, and green raisins—not to be confused with golden raisins. Now that I’ve tasted green raisins, I’m like a slave to them. I still like black raisins in desserts because of their color, but for salads, green raisins own me. If you find them, try them.
