About Me

Here at Sensei Cooks I write about my adventures in the kitchen and sometimes in the dojo.

I have a love for cooking and want to explore all the possible facets of it. Leave no stone unturned so to speak.

I am Vegan and love all types of vegan cooking.

I love the process of cooking. Being in the moment. Sort of Zen and the Art of Cooking.

Vegan Pancakes

This is a follow up to the Gluten-Free & Vegan Pancakes I posted the other day. Dylan’s friends were over and I made them the GF-Vegan pancakes but today I wanted to try regular vegan pancakes. Found these on-line and they are wonderful. You absolutely can not tell the difference between these and regular egg [...]

Ravioli Without Borders

This was a fun recipe and really could be very quick and easy. The idea is to use wonton wrappers instead of pasta, this makes it very easy to put together. I wanted to make the home-made Vegan pasta but decided to try this as I have also read this same idea in Jamie Oliver’s [...]

Wild Mushroom Pizza with Garlic and Thyme

Something very strange is happening to me. I am really enjoying these fast and easy to prepare recipes. This from the person who loved to spend the entire night in the kitchen cutting, dicing, preparing and cooking. A one page recipe, too easy, no challenge! Not any more. These fast and simple recipes are great. [...]

Vegan Home-Made Pasta

Well I said yesterday I should make some Vegan home-made pasta and so this morning I did. Not bad at all. It was easy to make and tastes great. Dylan said it tastes the same as the egg pasta I usually made. I put everything in the food processor out of habit but I am [...]

Tibetan Flatbread

This is a dead simple, fast and savoury bread from Jacques Pépin. I have the DVD set but I can’t remember this recipe on it. The book has far more recipes. I happen to see it at the library when I took Dylan for his Unschoolers/Homeschoolers Gym class at the Recreation Centre (the library is [...]

Individual Vegetable Pot Pies

As you all know my daughter, Hayley is a vegetarian. I really enjoy reading vegetarian cookbooks and Vegan cookbooks. They are fascinating. The flavours etc they come up with make me wish the year I decided to be vegetarian it did not mean “I am giving up meat” but really meant I wanted to eat [...]

Pasta and Cheddar Cheese Sauce

I have found myself starting to make recipes I have already blogged about. I need to break out of my safety zone and go crazy. Well actually we have been trying to work through our freezers and fridges so I end up making things that I know because we have the same ingredients. We have [...]

Potato Roesti

It has been a while since I managed the time to get a post up, but here it is. I was bored with things we had for lunch and then I remembered a book Belle picked up at the library so I started going through and found this version of a Roesti. I made them [...]

Jamie’s Spaghetti All’Arrabiata

One of our all time favourite quick meals is Jamie’s Spaghetti All’Arrabiata. Now you can’t actually find this recipe on his web site. It was in a book called “My Last Supper” by Melanie Dunea. This is one of 50 different chefs giving what they would have for a last supper. We love it. Today [...]
