Outrageously Good Vegan Chili


Hi Reader,

Winter calls for hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kind of meals, and I've got the *perfect* warming recipe for you: vegan bean chili.

Most chili recipes have you take so many shortcuts that you end up with a bowl of bean soup. While I love soup, chili is definitively not soup.

This version is rich, velvety, and layered with spices. And it's so hearty that no one will miss the meat!

The blog post contains:

  • Step-by-step instructions and photos
  • 5 secrets for making the BEST chili
  • An incredible homemade chili powder recipe

Everything you need for the perfect bowl of chili!

a bowl of potato salad

by Nisha Vora Reader, I’m going to get right to it: we have been doing potato salad wrong. And when I say “wrong,” I don’t mean the mostly-harmless category of mistake that includes not being able to remember whether your boss’s partner’s name is Mike or Mitch at the company summer family potluck. I am talking about the apocalyptic category of mistake, like when someone plunked a ladle of mayonnaise into a bucket of overcooked potatoes for the first time and declared, "This is fine."

by Nisha Vora Hey Reader-- If you could choose only one sauce this summer, what would it be? Admittedly, this is a somewhat ridiculous hypothetical question, as no one is going to be limiting how many sauces you can make.

In just 10 minutes, you’ll whip up a bright, herby powerhouse of a sauce that is good on,...

by Nisha Vora Hi Reader-- The time has come: I am finally ready to share my brief thesis entitled, “The Destiny Of A Banana.” The humble banana has a multitude of potential futures from the moment it enters your kitchen—but not all are created equal. Will it be hastily peeled and eaten in three large bites between meetings on a work-from-home day? (Tolerable.) Will it be sliced with care and laid atop a bowl of oatmeal, next to a cluster of walnuts? (Honorable.) Will it be reduced to an...
