| What do you use in your pesto instead of parmesan cheese? |
|
I've found that the best ingredients to add a rich flavor and creamy texture to my pesto are pine nuts and a touch of miso. Walnuts may be used as a less expensive option, however, they impart a more bitter flavor and aren't quite as creamy as pine nuts.

| What is veganic gardening? And what's growing in your garden this summer? |
|
You might be surprised by how many animal products are used even in growing vegetables and fruits. In addition to manure, farmers regularly use blood- and bone-meal as fertilizer. Veganic gardening is organic gardening sans animal products. In place of manure and blood- and bone-meal we use compost, worm castings, and various sea vegetables. In our biggest veganic garden to date this year, we're growing winter squash, cucumbers, beans, eggplant, hot chili peppers, tomatoes, kale, chard, shallots, strawberries, culinary herbs, and edible flowers. Read more about Veganic Gardening.
