Less than 2 months until the official start of Spring and the garden catalogs are rolling in...yippee! Perfect time of year to plan out your plots, coordinate your colors, schedule your veggie rotations and dream about delicious ways to use your backyard bounty. Searching out inspiration from fellow vegheads always helps and that's how I found Shaheen's blog a few years ago. Completely charmed by her gardens and besmitten by her feisty dragon, I discovered she is a true magician in her tiny Welsh kitchen! Anybody can roast parsnips but I've never even dreamed of vegan Spiced Parsnip Samosa Pies, Pomegranate and Parsnip Cake and Violet and Parsnip Cakes with 'Cream Cheese' Frosting...so brilliant! And check out her vegan cake amazingness! Shaheen's moved beyond her original garden plot but she continues to cultivate creative flavors in endlessly exotic ways! Now if we could just get her to write a cookbook... :)

Note: Shaheen is a vegan-loving vegetarian so if you come across a non-vegan recipe, I'm sure she'll be happy to suggest ways you might veganize it. She's supernice so just ask!
