Coconut milk is some kind of wonderful. However, due to the recent discovery by PETA that a Thai company was abusing monkeys by forcing them to pick coconuts from the trees. “The animals were kept tethered, chained to old tires, or confined to cages barely larger than their bodies, deprived of any semblance of a life,” said PETA.

Any coconut milk purchased from Chaokoh, and other Thai coconut milk producers, represents the misery of a chained-up monkey,” according to PETA EVP Tracy Reiman. Thanks to PETA’s efforts, Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway, Wegmans, Costco, Target, Food Lion, and Stop & Shop have suspended the sale of Chaokoh coconut milk.

Other brands, located in Thailand, use this same horrid practice, but PETA investigations revealed that is only happening in Thailand. A good rule of thumb is to avoid any canned coconut milk from Thailand.

This dish can be used with different vegetables. And if you are not a fan of Herbs de Provence, feel free to substitute cumin/oregano/garlic powder.

YES! I think I finally nailed this recipe. I tasted a kale salad with peanut sauce somewhere in LA several years ago and have been trying to duplicate it. Did I succeed? Nope, but this is even better!

ENJOY!

My daughter recently had a birthday and her request was for a coconut cake. She and her husband have recently transitioned to a plant-based diet so I needed to make something spectacular.

I decided to consult the experts and came across a recipe by Ina Garten that I decided to veganize and also personalize with my own ingredients. The result was nothing short of spectacular.

My only advice is to not wait until it is someone’s  birthday. Name your own special occasion…perhaps because it is Monday? You still have your big toe? An avalanche didn’t fall on your car? Go ahead and…

ENJOY!
