Vegan Mofo Has Arrived

Posted by Kitchen Shaman | Sep 30, 2011 | Vegan Mofo |

October 1st begins Vegan Mofo, the vegan food blogging event of the year. This fantastic awareness raising event was started by the Post Punk Kitchen as an homage to NaNoWriMo. PPK was created by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, in 2005, and quickly escalated into a place where vegans could write and talk about vegan cuisine in a safe and happy place. Isa has also written several awesome cookbooks. You should check them out.

What Vegan Food of the Month does is bring vegan cuisine into focus, not just in the food blogging world, but in the blogging world itself. read more

King Quinoa Cooking Class is a Success!

Posted by Kitchen Shaman | Sep 12, 2011 | Cooking Classes, Recipes |

I had the greatest time with this class. There were five attendees, four in a birthday party, and a fellow who wants to learn how to cook. Everyone was in a good mood, and were surprised that they were going to get to eat. They thought they had come just to watch. The food was a success based on the attendee's immediate reactions. And I was able to pass on some invaluable knowledge and skills.

Coming up on Kitchen Shaman

Posted by Kitchen Shaman | Sep 2, 2011 | Perspective |

I’ve taken a little hiatus from writing. Yes, recipes have been posted, but the food knowledge and history and the perspective columns have been suffering. I promise to get back to writing in both these areas later in September.

Recently, I’ve been working on re-developing the website, and that involves taking lots and lots of photographs. Once the photographs are taken they then have to be cataloged with keywords and other such technical fun stuff, and uploaded to the server so that i can eventually share them with you, the reader. It is a phenomenal task, and one that is hard to concentrate on while working a full time job, a part-time job, and writing for this blog. read more
