Cucumbers in Delicate Broth

This recipe was offered in the February/March issue of Back to Godhead magazine, paired with an article by Vishakha Dasi on what she called the "vegetarian blues". Kukri ras (or Cucumbers in Delicate Broth) is an interesting addition to many meals.

Coconut Honey Balls

This recipe comes from a 1968 issue of Back to Godhead magazine, so it calls for butter, honey, and cream cheese. These days we try to keep a healthier diet, but once in a while you have to try something rich and lovely!

Mock Chocolate II

Whether you are a vegan, or just trying to avoid chocolate, this icing recipe is wonderful for making leaves, swirls and other cake decorations.

Spicy Dressing

Sometimes simplest is best. This easy dressing is great for salads or veggies, or can be used to drizzle over rice, pasta, or even over toast.

Herb Rolls

So many excellent cooks hesitate when it comes to baking because it's an exact form of cooking requiring careful measuring and timing. But don't ever let that stop you from trying a new recipe!

Breaded Zucchini Sticks

When choosing for this dish, look for the smaller zucchini with thinner skin because they are the most tender for frying.

Coconut Burfi

There are many flavors of burfi, usually from nuts or fruits, but sometimes cardamom, rosewater, or even carrots. Coconut burfi is one of the more traditional and most nostalgic of burfis.

Gazpacho Soup

Gazpacho soup is intended to be served cold, but it's also tasty. So if you're preparing a large dinner, this is something you can make well ahead of time and not worry about.

Ekadashi Coconut Cake

It can be tough to cook on ekadasi days, and even harder to prepare desserts. Cintia gives us a lot of options in her baking book, including this recipe that calls for powdered milk and potato flour instead of grain-based ingredients.

Crazy Carob Pudding

Cintia loves to give us healthy cakes and desserts that can also be made vegan. This traditional pudding variation calls for either milk or soy milk, and carob. How does this recipe work for you?
