Whether meeting family or friends, chances are good that once or twice this month, you’ll go out to eat somewhere fancy. A majority of diners settle for steakhouses, the one place that all Americans are supposed to love. Vegetarians, however, might not be too thrilled with that idea.
It’s tough to pick just one from the four desserts that Barrio Café offers, but after much debate, we landed on Crepas de Cajeta, crepes with goat milk caramel and vanilla bean ice cream. This may sound like a simple treat, but these flavors will wow your taste buds.
Kale is commonly served in salads, as chips, or simply sautéed, but with the weather getting cold and even rainy, it’s the perfect time of year to make a kale soup. This superfood has an earthy flavor with a hint of sweetness that pairs well with a lot of other foods, providing for a lot of flexibility when making any dish with it. We tried out a simple recipe that can be adjusted in an unlimited number of ways
On the menu now at Centurion is a Blackberry Turnover with Chocolate Chili Soup. This classic turnover falls right in line with the overall atmosphere that Centurion offers: cozy and relaxing. The soup, more like a drinking chocolate, had nicely balanced flavors.
The all-vegetarian Pomegranate Café now has extended hours from 8 am to 8 pm Tuesday through Saturday. They are open Sundays from 8 am to 4:30 pm and are closed on Monday. If you need a health boost or are craving a fresh, delicious meal, just remind yourself that getting your vitamins and nutrients delivered in a tasty way is worth any price.
If you’re in the downtown area, Province is the place to go for dessert. Skip the dinner, order a drink, and have a dessert or two. Just be careful with that Peanut Butter and Chocolate Flan “Sandwich,” which is so rich it knocked us into a sugary daze. Was it worth it? Heck yeah.
We’ve put together our own vegan Thanksgiving table with help from local vegetarian/vegan chefs, who kindly contributed some of their favorite holiday dishes.

It’s tough to find a restaurant that’s 100% vegetarian, but when in doubt, look for a place that serves authentic Indian food. Why? India has the highest population of vegetarians worldwide. For a spicy vegetarian fix, look no further than Woodlands Vegetarian South Indian Kitchen in Chandler, AZ.
The Arizona Republic recently named Soi 4 as the Best Thai Restaurant of 2011, but have they neglected dessert lovers? While not all of their desserts are a winner, we highly recommend their Fried Bananas with Coconut Ice Cream.
Green New American Vegetarian has a new location in Central Phoenix. What happens when two carnivores check it out and eat a vegan lunch?
True Food Kitchen’s website states, “We believe that simple, fresh, pure ingredients create the most memorable and satisfying meals.” So, their dessert has to be good, right? Not only that, but several of their desserts are vegan and/or gluten free.
Who serves the best drunken noodles in Phoenix? When in the mood for a dish that’s so spicy it clears up the sinuses, look no further than drunken noodles, or pad kee mao. This stir fry can be made about a thousand different ways, but the staples are Thai basil, chili, garlic, and rice noodles.
This year, we’re making our Halloween candy out of vegetables. Vegetables contain natural sugars, so if they make a great addition to the dinner table, why not eat them for dessert too? Mashed Potato Candy is an American classic that can easily be made vegan.
We stopped by Postino Winecafé on Central Ave. to see if their dessert is as worthy of waiting for a table as are the rest of their quality offerings.

Joe’s Farm Grill is known for doing food right. But, are they worthy of being on our list of places to order dessert first? We’ll just come right out and say it: their dessert is generic and gets none of the TLC that Joe’s is known for.
Aztec Couscous Salad is one vegetarian dish that anyone can enjoy. It makes a great lunch, light dinner, or side dish, and it’s quick to toss together with roasted peppers, corn, black beans, and more.

This week we headed to Ticoz Resto-Bar to see what yummy Latin fusion desserts they have to offer. Their Tortilla Pudding – a gooey, cinnamony cake – definitely did not disappoint our taste buds.
We visit this favorite Phoenix downtown joint to satisfy our sweet tooth with off-the-menu cannolis and a unique rum cake named “La Dolce Vita.”
