Here is a spicy, pungent alternative to plain hummus from my latest book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Gluten-Free Vegan Cooking, which I co-wrote with Chef Beverly Lynn Bennett. Instead of chickpeas, the base is black beans and the flavor profile is smoky, citrus-y, and fresh. It pairs nicely with Latino cuisine or simply on whole-grain tortillas or crackers, or in Noritos.
The delicious Sundried Tomato Flax Crackers seen in this video were provided by a fabulous raw food company called Rawbundant.

Tomorrow, Saturday, March 31st, I am speaking at my first TED Talk...it is at TEDxCONEJO and I am absolutely thrilled about it. I am speaking amongst some amazingly passionate people and the day should be memorable and full of inspiration. Here is the program of speakers.
Although the event has been sold out with a huge waiting list since almost two weeks ago, I am thrilled to announce that the event will be livestreamed! Thus, if you click this link, you can watch the entire day from the comfort of you home and all over the world! OR...you can watch right here via this feed below....
I am scheduled to give my talk, Breaking Bread, at 4:35 pm PT, but the timing is imperfect, so check in earlier and stay longer if you want to hear me. I am very excited because this is the first time I am speaking about the global and personal impact of a plant-based diet and how every single bite matters for you and the rest of the world...I am extremely passionate about this topic as it drives every moment of my life. The theme is togetherness so my talk will tie in our diet to our interconnectivity with others. I hope you will stay tuned. I will also be posting the You Tube video of my talk as soon as it is available.
Thank you for your support...

Two-ingredient raspberry coulis as a topper to banana ice cream...yes, seriously...could it get any easier? You can have almost the identical resulting texture with a blender and frozen bananas...

TA DAAA!!! I am honored to bring to you...Chef AJ's very famous "Disappearing Lasagna"! And, indeed, the reason it is called by this name is because it is impossible to keep this recipe around for too long...people nearby just want to gobble it up...including me! We also discuss the facts about "gluten-free" in this episode.
You can find this recipe in her book, Unprocessed, and other gluten-free, whole food, plant-based recipes in my new book that I co-authored with Chef Beverly Lynn Bennett, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Gluten-Free Vegan Cooking.
