Fried Artichokes were one of Michael’s favorite bar snacks when he was in law school. He recently decided to try making them at home and they were even better than he remembered. With a simple beer batter, these are ready in minutes. Try them the next time you need an hors d’oeuvre or snack.

Julie and Jay Hasson created Julie’s Original Gluten Free baking mixes because they know how much time and money is involved in gluten-free baking, not to mention all of the trial and error, as well as tracking down dozens of specialty flours.

3 Brothers Vegan Cafe is Long Island’s first and only 100% vegan restaurant. This addition to the 3 Brother’s Pizza Cafe chain is run by the amazing vegan chef Jay Astafa. If you want great Italian food, that just happens to be vegan, you need to check it out. What really makes 3 Brothers Vegan Cafe extraordinary is that they make their vegan cheeses including fresh cashew mozzarella, cashew milk cheddar, cashew parmesan, macadamia feta, cashew tofu ricotta, and cashew bleu cheese. Having homemade vegan cheese really sets 3 Brothers apart from all other Italian restaurants that offer vegan options.

Eat Like You Give A Damn, by Michelle Schwegmann and Josh Hooten is a book with heart. It is filled with wonderful information, and fantastic recipes that you want to make over and over again. This book will likely become one of the first ones you reach for on your bookshelf.
