Crab Cakes
Ingredients
One 8-ounce package Tempeh
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
Salt
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (we used Earth Balance)
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained until very dry
1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kelp (or other seaweed) powder
Hot sauce
Pepper
Directions: Using a steamer basket, steam the tempeh for 25 minutes, then let cool. While it's steaming, heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil in pan over medium heat, and add the onion, celery, bell pepper and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are translucent and tender, about 8 minutes, then set aside to cool. With a fork, potato masher or your clean hands, mash the tempeh in a bowl until it's completely "ground". Add the cooked veggies, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 tablespoon of Old Bay, the mayo, chickpeas, capers, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, kelp powder, a couple dashes of hot sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the tempeh, and mash it together until the chickpeas are completely mashed. Divide the chickpea mixture into four 3-inch-wide cakes.
In a large pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumb with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of Old Bay, and spread out on a small plate. Dredge both sides of your cakes in the seasoned bread crumbs. Drop the cakes into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until one side is browned, then flip and brown the other side. Drain the cakes for 1 minute on paper towels, and hit them with a little dash of Old Bay seasoning.

Baby bella risotto
Ingredients:
8 cups vegetable stock
Two 2-by-4 inch pieces wakame (edible seaweed).
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup minced shallot
1/2 cup diced celery
Salt
4 tablespoons vegan margarine
1 pound baby bella mushrooms, roughly chopped
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2 cups prosecco
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (tops only) for garnish.
Directions:
In a saucepan, bring the vegetable stock and wakame to a simmer. In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, and add the shallot, celery, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the shallot is soft and translucent. While your shallot and celery are cooking, heat another medium skillet over medium-high heat and melt the margarine. When it's melted, drop in the mushrooms. Toss them in the margarine, and let them cook on one side until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, some pepper, and the lemon juice, and give it a toss. Continue cooking the mushrooms, tossing occasionally, for 6 to 8 more minutes, until they are completely tender. Set aside.
When the shallots in the first skillet are translucent, stir in the rice. Cook stirring frequently, until the edges of the rice become slightly translucent, 3-4 minutes, then add the prosecco. With a wooden spoon, stir the rice in a clockwise motion. When the pan is almost completely dry, add 1/2 cup of the heated vegetable stock (omitting the wakame) and continue stirring. When the pan is almost dry again, add another 1/2 cup of the stock and continue stirring. Repeat this process until the rice is soft and creamy, but not completely mushy. Total cooking time for the rice will be about 20 minutes.
When the rice is done cooking, turn off the heat and stir in the mushrooms and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste, plate and garnish with scallions.
Falafels with tahini sauce

1/4 cup (64g) tahini
Juice of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened soymilk

Directions for the falafel:

Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until combined: you want the batter to hold together when pinched, but not completely smooth because you want some texture left.

Use a deep fryer, or fill a heavy, deep saucepan with 3 inches of oil. Heat to 350*. Do not overcrowd. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown, flipping them once, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a heat-proof slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels.

Peanut Butter Cups
For the chocolate:

Pinch of salt
For the filling:
12 tbsp natural creamy no-stir peanut butter
1/3 cup evaporated can juice or granulated sugar, packed light brown sugar, or sifted powdered sugar

Pinch of salt
Directions:
Prepare a standard muffin tin with 12 paper liners

Apple Pie With Pecan Crust
For the crust:
1/4 cup (74 g) pecan halves
1 1/2 cups (180 g) whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup (55 g) packed light brown sugar
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/4 cup (56 g) nondairy butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) nondairy milk, plus more as needed
For the filling:
4 large Granny Smith or other good-for-baking apple, peeling optional, cored, quartered and cubed into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons (28 g) nondairy butter
3 tablespoons (45 ml) nondairy milk, or freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
1/2 cup (110 g) packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons (4.6 g) ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons (10 ml) apple cider vinegar
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions: Preheat the oven to 375* Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
To make the crust: Add the pecans, flour, brown sugar, salt and butter to a food processor. Pulse a few times to grind the pecans and combine. Add the milk, a little at a time, just until the dough sticks together when pinched.
Evenly crumble the dough into the pie plate, and press it down to cover the whole bottom and sides of the plate. Make sure no cracks are left so that the filling has no chance of seeping through. Alternatively, you can roll out the crust. You can also reserve a generous handful of the crust to crumble on top of the pie before baking.
Cover the crust with a piece of parchment paper and pie weights. Prebake for 24 minutes.
In the meantime, make the filling: Combing the apples, butter, 2 tablespoons of the milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vinegar, and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 14 minutes, stirring often, or until the syrup is rather thick and the apples are just barely tender without falling apart.
Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon milk and the cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the apple mixture stirring well, and cook for 2 minutes longer, or until thickened.
Scrape the filling evenly into the crust. Bake for 24 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Place on wire rack to cool.
