'COLD MORNING' UNDERGROUND FOOD.....NUANCED BY TROPICAL ACCENTS.......AND A GENTLEMANLY CUP OF EARL GREY.......

another batch of 'yamcakes' with ginger, walnuts and spices......a nostalgic 'cook' of my Grandmother Flora's delicious cakes.....served with sour cream, drizzled with maple syrup......I'm making another batch, with grated, toasted coconut and black walnuts......pan-fried in butter and almond oil.....still in 'hold the broccoli' mode! and some 'yam spaghetti'! late, savory vegan luncheon, after a grueling morning of "unsavory" tasks, like peeling yams, carrots, sweet/white/red potatoes, turnips and rutabagas.......white yam spaghetti with walnuts, chopped scallions and coriander, chopped chilis, grated ginger, basil sprigs and tamarind paste......great with a mug of aromatic Earl Grey...... sorry, broccoli, your 'day' is 'tomorrow'.....the basil was 'first in line'.....
