When I wrote my recent post about eating more fruit, Simon asked me if I had any tips for eating more veggies, too. He specified that he’s not a big fan of cooking on a daily basis due to the time, effort, and clean-up involved (and the fact that he’s usually cooking for one), so […]
As a child, what vegetables did you hate? Broccoli? Lima beans? Spinach? When was the last time you gave them a try? Our taste buds change as we grow. Even if you remember despising a certain vegetable with a vengeance when you were young, that doesn’t mean that you’ll still hate it now.
I grew up […]
Isn’t it beautiful? And chock full of nutrients, too.
Like all Swiss chard varieties, it’s best to separate the stalks from the leaves and cook them separately (or at least for different amounts of time), since the stalks require a longer cooking time. I used this in a stir-fry with other seasonal vegetables, tofu, and a […]
As the northern hemisphere creeps towards autumn, corn is coming into season. It has been available here in Switzerland for a few weeks, but may come earlier or later depending on your location. Sweet, fresh corn is a real treat, and so delicious that it can be eaten completely on its own.
Corn always reminds me […]
Yes, I rushed home from the farmers market, artfully arranged my purchases on the table, and photographed them before shoving them into my tiny fridge. Yes, I know I’m weird. But aren’t they beautiful?
I’m still sticking with my shopping challenge: only purchasing fresh fruits and veggies, tofu, and soy milk. I’ve been at it since […]
Today is Theme Day here at the Science and Health Channel, and the theme is “going green”. Now usually this phrase is used to refer to the environment, but here at Veggie Chic I already talk about the environment a lot. We all know how good being a vegetarian is for the environment, after all […]
Is this stuff not gorgeous? I love the vibrant-colored stalks of Swiss chard on display at my local farmers market these days. Beautiful!
They taste just like their plain old white and green counterparts, which is to say, not bad. Plus leafy greens are super healthy for you, no matter the color of the stalk.

The variety of veggies grown by the local farmers continues to amuse me. I couldn’t resist picking up a couple of these tennis-ball-sized zucchini at the market the other day.
Their breadth makes me think they would be excellent sliced up and stacked moussaka-style with other veggies (or grilled and used to top a veggie burger). […]
I found these beans at the farmers market last week. They look like green beans, smell like green beans, and taste like green beans, but they’re purple. So I guess that makes them… purple beans?
Inside they were green, and the outside color faded from brilliant purple to kind of a greenish-purple while they were steaming. […]
