Another one from the Hippy Gourmet. This really delicious raw pizzetta is from the Blossoming Lotus in Kauai. If you don’t have access to flax seed crackers for this recipe, a good substitute would be one of the larger sized crackers from your local grocery store. Can’t handle tree nuts? Try the new vegan cheese from Daiya or just whatever cheese you prefer if you’re lacto-ovo. Yes, the raw nature is changed, but part of being vegetarian is coming up with creative substitutes! Before I forget, Happy International Peace Day.

Since I’m on a roll here with the fun food videos, how about a few short pieces with vegan musician Moby?

More with Moby sharing a few of his favorite kitchen tools. Cool – except for his preference for microwaves. Yes, they may use less energy than a standard stove and preserve a few nutrients, but microwaves also change the structure of food in a way that may well be quite unhealthy.

Didn’t expect to see Moby on Epicurious did you? Well there’s time for one more, a recipe for vegan pancakes.
