    Vegan New Year's

    We serve up vegetable side dishes, relax at Valentino, and leave out food for Santa Claus. We fight hunger through "dining dollars," learn rules for surviving New Year's parties, uncork sparkling wines, and braise succulent pork. Plus, we celebrate New Year's vegan-style.

    Hot Knives bloggers Evan George and Alex Brown pair a vegan baby-potato appetizer with a Champagne alternative, Belgian beer, for New Year's. They prepare the baby potatoes with Vegenaise, a vegan-cream filling, or vegan crema, and nutritional yeast. They accompany this tasty hors d'oeuvre with Deus Brut des Flandres, a beer brewed in Belgium that's shipped to France and aged in oak barrels. The Hot Knives videocast all their culinary creations as well.
