When we think about “traditional” Mexican food, images of carne asada cookouts and street tacos al pastor might come to mind. But if we’re talking pre-Columbian times—before the Spaniards brought over pork, chicken, and beef—then the idea of “traditional” might look a little different. In the early days, plant-based eating was very much the norm among Indigenous Mexicans.

“All these dishes that are now seen as traditional, cultural foods, aren’t actually traditional at all if you really think about the essence and root of our cuisine,” says Jocelyn Ramirez, author of La Vida Verde: Plant-Based Mexican Cooking With Authentic Flavor, and founder of Todo Verde, a Latin American-inspired catering company based in LA.

Todo Verde’s new line of seasonings—which come in Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Tinga flavors—are designed to make the transition to plant-based eating more accessible. The idea is to

Six quick and easy good-mood recipes to make dinnertime a cinch

Mitchell R. Lajoie 14 hours ago

There are no two ways about it: food can definitely lift your spirits and put you in a good mood. I first realised this as a young boy watching and helping my mum cook for family and friends. She was a wonderful home cook, and I could see the love she put into her food and the way it would bring a smile to people’s faces. 

The kitchen was always a busy place, full of laughter and music. That’s when my love of cooking started.

The recipes here are a selection of my favourite dishes: food that I loved as a child, dishes that remind me of home, some that I’ve enjoyed making for and with my kids over the years (even now they’re older, cooking for them brings me so much joy, and we often get together for a home-made pizza or curry night), and a few from my

Food Matters: Cooking with Rosemary

Chef Rosemary Burkholder

Borscht is bubbling on the stove inside Rosemary Burkholder’s rustic alpine home, perched up a steep, rocky shelf between Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. The chunky stew honors autumn for the classically trained chef, who hails from Berks County, Pennsylvania, and has spent the past 32 years working with food here in the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond.

“As a kid playing in the woods of Pennsylvania, being a rebellious child (with my siblings), we ended up in some hippie garden farm. They had borscht going,” she recalls. “I fell in love with it then.”

Burkholder has prepared a gourmet lunch to highlight early fall harvest and showcase fresh elk, hunted in Steamboat Springs by her husband, an avid outdoorsman. She’s also gathered ingredients to prepare two kinds of fruit-infused vinegar, another seasonal tradition that helps to stock her pantry for winter. (See recipes at the end of
