I had given up on bok choy, because I was caught in a rut, adding it to my soggy stir-fries and not much else. I felt guilty, because I was really giving up on myself. It certainly isn’t bok choy’s fault—though it should take credit for causing so many impulse purchases. I know I’m not…

This Soup Is a Blank Canvas for Practicing Your Garnishing Skills
Sometimes, the simpler the recipe, the easier it is to overcomplicate it.

It’s delicious served either hot or cold….

Non-vegans or people who aren’t fasting serve it with a dollop…
