Welcome to my Ebook, Kelly's Top 20!
Having a recipe is like having the key that opens the door
to your dreams. A recipe holds the vision you'll be able
to see, smell, taste, hear, touch, and eat! It also
contains the necessary tools and the plan of action on how
to execute an experience that could be life transforming.
Forever.
Of over the hundreds of personal recipes I've created, I
have selected for you the most beneficial recipes to try.
They range from everyday practical to leading edge vegan,
cooked and raw, and sugar-free gluten-free vegan desserts
and also recipes that include French technique and use
eggs. All of the recipes incorporate nutrient dense
ingredients for the most flavorful and healing recipes.
They are also my favorites and the favorites of my cooking
students.
Enjoy more food!
Love,
Kelly

new Ebook.
100 Best Glutenfree Recipes for your Vegan Kitchen
1. Great for beginner vegans and people who are vegancurious and want great taste, something familiar, and
something adventurous without the wheat gluten and refined
white sugar. For beginners, I suggest to start with the
drink chapter and try the SuperSmoothie made in the VitaMix
and learn about all the new superfoods like chia seed raw
caco that will spice up any healthy lifestyle. For the
advanced vegan palate, I suggest trying Kelly's California
Rolls, that transforms high glycemic white rice into a
tasty sticky rice using quinoa and black sesame tahini.
Black Sesame Paste builds the blood. These savory and
satisfying vegan California rolls need no dipping sauce-the dipping sauce is where people pack on the extra
calories without knowing.
2.
10 new recipe chapters spanning the last six years of
all of my savory dishes (as compared to the first dessert
cookbook), all developed with cooking students in LA, New
York, and Boston and the cookbook is dedicated to all of my
students. It includes 20 new desserts all vegan, sugarfree, gluten-free, and soy-free. For a twist on soy
yogurt, there is a recipe for fermented Coconut Yogurt made
from young Thai coconuts that can be made easily at home,
eaten with granola, used in smoothies, or as an ingredient
in baked goods. This is a supernew recipe and very
beneficial because of the live probiotics. I also have a
recipe for Coconut Keifer made from fresh coconut water.
Those two recipes have been a result of the California
healthy lifestyle influence, but by far New York is ahead
in healthy restaurants and food mindset as a socio-cultural
change.
3. All vegan - this cookbook contains a balance of both
cooked and raw live vegan recipes. I like a mix and
include French technique and combine it with soaking,
sprouting, and dehydrating techniques. Transforming
classic favorites into vegan sugar-free gluten-free dishes
like Hot Ta Tamale Pie, Gourmet Garden Burgers, and Sweet
Truth Pizza from the Veria show now containing all vegan
gluten-free sugar-free ingredients.
4. Sugar-free - using the brand new ingredient coconut
nectar, a solution for people avoiding agave or fructose
sweeteners. coconut nectar is very low glycemic, can be
used in place of agave measure for measure, and has very
low percentage of fructose, not over processed, and made in
low temperatures. I give my readers a choice, and that is
very leading edge. And coconut nectar mixed with ZSweet is
delectable in my Hemp Ball Truffles.
5. Gluten-free is more and more in demand and the vegan
palate is growing nationwide, so the cookbook gives many
new recipes for tasty alternatives that no one has seen
before like gourmet Macrobiotic recipe, Mermaid Salad, with
red and white quinoa, toasted sesame oil, turmeric, sea
veggies, and marinated avocado. Also, there is a kelp
noodle salad with a hemp tahini sauce. Kelp noodles are
virtually calorie free, only 18 calories in an entire bag
and can be found in the refrigerator section of the grocery
store, next to the tofu. Try them in Kelly's Kelp Noodle
Salad.
Sugar-free Gluten-free Baking and Desserts
1. An excellent guide for beginner bakers and people who
are experienced bakers and want something sweet without the
extra calories, gluten, and sugar and want to learn how to
use alternative ingredients using French technique, as well
as raw live food preparation. For beginners, I suggest to
start with No Guilt Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies on
a Stick. The brownies are made in the food processor and
the cookies follow a basic cookie recipe. You will be
introduced to an all-purpose gluten-free flour that is easy
to use. For the advanced baker, I suggest trying Kelly's
Pumpkin Pie, which transforms high glycemic white flour
into a gluten-free piecrust, flakier than you've ever
tasted. And the filling uses many spices as well as tahini
for extra flavor. Also try Kelly's Vegan Pumpkin Pie.
2. 10 Gluten-free recipe chapters spanning the last five
years including all of the recipes from The Sweet Truth TV
show on Veria and YouTube that have been recreated from all
of my childhood favorites. They are recipes you can use
everyday. Recreate the all American peanut butter and
jelly sandwich using the recipe for The Other White Loaf.
Or for breakfast try, Sweet Hot Cherry Cornbread and learn
how to substitute agave, stevia, and Swerve for sugar.
3. All vegetarian - this cookbook uses mostly vegan nut and
seed milks. And it uses eggs for which there is an egg
substitute chart so any recipe in this cookbook can be made
vegan. Along with French baking technique, I include
recipes that will teach you soaking, sprouting, and
dehydrating in an Excalibur Dehydrator. Try Carob Protein
Dehydrator Cookies and Allergy-free Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Both of these vegan recipes will teach you the raw live
food preparation and how to preserve the essential healthy
benefits by using the dehydrating method.
4. Sugar-free- using agave, stevia, ZSweet, Swerver, and
more to make cupcakes and icing. Try Chocolate Babycakes
Cupcakes and Vanilla Babycake Cupcakes with Vegan Cream
Cheese Frosting, and you will never come back from sugarfree heaven. Baking cupcakes is the new food
entertainment, and now you can entertain your family with
healthy alternatives.

Super Smoothie
This high energy breakfast or lunch smoothie is exactly
what is says… super because it uses many of the super foods
available to us from around the world…
10 oz spring water or Manitoba Harvest hemp milk
1 cup frozen blue berries
1 tablespoon Navitas Naturals chia seed
2 tablespoons Manitoba Harvest hemp protein powder
1 teaspoon Navitas Naturals maca
1 tablespoon Navitas Naturals raw cacao
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons Vitamineral Greens green powder
1 tablespoon Amazon acai powder
2 teaspoons Nutrex spirulina
2 tablespoon ZSweet
2 droppers Sweet Leaf milk chocolate stevia
1 handful fresh spinach, washed and dried
1 tablespoon Manitoba Harvest hemp seeds
2 teaspoons Navitas Naturals raw cacao nibs
In high-powered blender or VitaMix, place water or hemp
milk. Add frozen blueberries. Add chia seed, hemp protein
powder, maca, cacao powder, cinnamon, green powder, acai,
spirulina, ZSweet, and Liquid Stevia. Place handful of
fresh spinach last. Start blender on low for several
seconds working up to high very slowly. Add extra water or
hemp milk to thin. Pour 12 oz in a tall glass and sprinkle
half the hemp seeds and nibs. Eat smoothie with a spoon.
Yield: Two, 12 oz servings.
Kelly’s Cali Rolls
Yield: 8 rolls
1 cup white quinoa
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
8 nori sheets
1/4 cup raw black or white tahini
1 large cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
2 thinly sliced avocados
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons Bragg's or coconut liquid amino acids
Sea salt
Place the quinoa and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a
boil, lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15
minutes. This will make a heavier quinoa but is a good
texture for the sushi roll. Place cooked quinoa in a bowl
and let cool enough to handle.
For 1 California roll, place 1 sheet of nori, shiny side
down, on a plastic-covered bamboo mat. The slats on the
bamboo mat will run horizontally to your work surface. On
the bottom portion of the nori sheet, spoon 4 tablespoons
of cooled, cooked quinoa onto the nori sheet and spread
into a flat 2 x 5-inch rectangle covering the lower third
of the nori sheet. Spread about 2 teaspoons of tahini on
top of the quinoa.
Against the 5-inch width of the quinoa, press 1/8 of the
cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices lengthwise. Drizzle
1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil and top of the vegetables. Top
with amino acids and season with salt. To roll the
California roll, with wet fingertips, gently dampen the far
edge of the nori sheet so that the edge will adhere to the
roll and seal it together. Hold the core ingredients in
place with your fingertips and use your thumbs to lift the
end of the mat. The edge of the nori sheet closest to you
should be lifted and rolled tightly over to meet the far
edge. Briefly press the mat around the roll to set and
shape the roll and seal the edges. Release the mat. Use a
serrated knife dipped in hot water to slice the roll into
1-inch rounds. Make the remaining 7 California rolls.
Sticky Rice Method with Tahini Sauce
2 cups cooked white quinoa
¼ cup black or white tahini
¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon umeboshi paste
1 teaspoon liquid aminos
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Place cooked quinoa in a bowl; set aside. In small bowl,
whish together the tahini, lemon, umeboshi, liquid aminos,
and salt. Mix the tahini sauce into the quinoa until well
incorporated. Spread 4 tablespoons of "sticky rice" on
nori sheet according to directions.
Coconut Kefir
A vegan fermented healthful drink with probiotics made from
fresh coconut water from young Thai coconuts. Note: To
purchase Body Ecology Kefir Starter Grains, go to
www.bodyecology.com
Yield: 32 ounces
3 young Thai coconuts (about 32 ounces fresh coconut water)
1 packet Body Ecology Kefir Starter Grains (see note)
Crack open the coconuts by boring 3 large holes with a
hammer and pick or a screwdriver. Another way to open the
coconut is to use a sharp 8-inch chef’s knife and a strong
spoon for scooping out the coconut meat. To open the
coconut, gently slice off an area of the skin with the
chef’s knife until the smooth nut appears underneath. With
the strongest edge of the blade underneath the heel of the
handle, bang an opening in the nut and then lift it open.
Drain the coconut water into a medium saucepan and heat
over medium heat until the temperature reaches 98°F. Use a
deep fry or candy thermometer to measure the temperature
and be aware that within minutes, the temperature will
quickly rise to 98°F, usually under a minute. Turn off the
heat and stir in the kefir grains. Pour the kefir mixture
into a clean mason jar and secure the lid. Place on the
countertop for 2 days to ferment.
The kefir may be refrigerated for up to 3 to 4 days. Drink
1 ounce at a time and increase as desired.
Coconut Yogurt
the meat of 3 Young Thai Coconuts
1/4 cup of coconut keifer or water
1/3 packet of Body Ecology Keifer Culture Starter
Open coconuts by a cleaver and rubber mallet to poke three
holes in a triangle in the upper quarter of the coconut
covering the size of a quarter. Using a sharp knife, cut
open the hole made by the small holes and drain the coconut
water to make coconut keifer (see recipe above).
Use an 8" chef knife and run the blade inside the hole
around the top of the top quarter of the coconut and cut it
off. With a spoon or ice cream scoop, scrap out the
coconut meat and place in a high-powered blender. In each
coconut, the meat should be white. If it is gray or pink,
discard and use a different coconut.
Place the coconut keifer or water, and Body Ecology Culture
Starter and blend until well incorporated and texture is
like pudding.
Transfer coconut mixture to a container with a lid and make
sure there is about two inches on top for the yogurt to
ferment and expand. Close the container with the lid and
place on the counter top for 10 hours. The yogurt should
taste tangy. When the fermenting process is complete,
place yogurt in the refrigerator. Use for up to three
days.
Yield: 2 cups.
Hot Ta Ta Tamale Pie
A Mexican-spiced casserole with a sweet, gluten-free
cornbread top.
Yield: 9 (1/2-cup) servings
Filling
2 ears corn, or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 (1-inch) pieces kombu
1 medium sweet Hawaiian onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup sliced green beans
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped
1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper, pureed in food processor
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (15-ounce) can black beans
1/8 teaspoon asafetida
Topping
1 tablespoon quinoa flour
1/2 almond meal
1/2 cup polenta
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 ounce silken tofu, lightly beaten
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
3 tablespoons agave
1/4 cup hemp seeds
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat an 8-inch square glass
baking dish with cooking spray.
To make the filling, boil the corn in unsalted water for 8
minutes; remove from the water and set aside to cool. In a
medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and
sauté the kombu, onion, and garlic for 7 to 8 minutes, or
until translucent. Add the green beans and sliced bell
pepper and continue to sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, or until
tender. Add the cumin and cayenne and sauté for 1 minute.
With a sharp knife, cut the corn off the cob and add to the
sauté mixture along with the tomatoes, pureed bell pepper,
tomato paste, black beans, and asafetida. Bring to a boil
and simmer for 10 minutes.
To make the topping, in a small bowl, whisk the quinoa
flour, almond meal, polenta, quinoa flakes, baking powder,
and salt. In another small bowl, whisk together the beaten
tofu, almond milk, and agave. Add the wet mixture to the
dry mixture and stir until well incorporated.
Transfer the corn filling to the prepared baking dish.
Spoon on the polenta topping. You may want to spray oil
your spatula or spoon for easy spreading.
Bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle the hemp seeds on top and
bake for 5 minutes longer. Serve warm. May be stored in the
refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Gourmet Garden Burgers
A breadless burger spiced with ginger and jalapeño.
Serving suggestion: For each burger, place a fresh collard
green with the tough part of the spine removed face down on
a serving plate. Place a burger in the middle of the
collard green. Top the burger with fresh mung bean or
sunflower sprouts and drizzle with Russian Dressing. To
make the dressing, in a small bowl combine 1 cup Veganaise
mayonnaise, 1/4 cup Sugar-free Ketchup, and 2 tablespoons
relish. The dressing may be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days.
Yield: 9 (4-ounce) patties
2 cups plus 3 tablespoons vegetable broth
3/4 cup white quinoa
1/4 cup red quinoa
2 medium zucchini, chopped
2 cups chopped carrots
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 jalapeños, chopped
2 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and discarded,
caps sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil, plus more for
cooking
3 tablespoons Bragg’s or coconut liquid aminos
1 1/2 tablespoons Mexican spice
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ounces silken tofu, beaten
In a medium saucepan, add the vegetable broth and white and
red quinoa. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and
cook 15 minutes. When the quinoa is cooked, transfer to a
large bowl.
In a food processor, puree the zucchini and carrots;
transfer to a large bowl. Puree the onion, jalapeños,
mushrooms, and ginger. Add to the zucchini mixture and mix
until well blended; set aside.
In large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium heat
and add the amino acids, Mexican spice, sea salt, and lemon
juice. Add the pureed vegetables and sauté for 15 to 20
minutes, until all the liquid is gone and the mixture is
thick like porridge. The mixture is going to act as your
breadcrumbs; set aside to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, beat the silken tofu with a small
whisk or fork. Add the beaten tofu to the quinoa. Mix
together well. Add the vegetable mixture to the quinoa
mixture and mix until well blended. Let cool for 10
minutes. Scoop about 1/2 cup of the quinoa vegetable
mixture and form into a patty. Repeat with the rest of the
mixture.
Heat a nonstick frying pan, coat with cooking spray, and
add about 1 teaspoon oil . Cook the patties about 4 minutes
on each side, until golden brown. May be stored in the
refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Sweet Truth Pizza
The best gluten-free pizza crust with tomato, mozzarella,
and fresh basil and a sugar-free tomato sauce.
Yield: 1 (12-inch) pizza
Crust
3 tablespoons golden flaxseed, ground
3/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon agar agar flakes dissolved in 2 ounces boiling
water
1/4 cup warm water
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, plus more for the pizza dough
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon organic cane sugar
Pizza Sauce
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 sweet Hawaiian onion, finely chopped
1 (15-ounce) jar unsweetened tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup light agave
1 tablespoon Bragg’s or coconut liquid amino acids
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
8 ounces vegan mozzarella, sliced ¼ inch thick
To make the crust, line with parchment paper a rimmed
baking sheet large enough for the pizza. Place the flaxseed
in a coffee grinder and blend for a few seconds. Spread the
ground flax on the prepared baking sheet; set aside.
In medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour,
tapioca flour, white rice flour, potato starch, xanthan
gum, and salt; set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk
the dissolved agar agar flakes, warm water, vinegar, and
oil on slow speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until well
combined.
In a small bowl, combine the hot water, yeast, and sugar.
Let stand until it fizzes; set aside.
Fit the stand mixer with the paddle attachment and add the
pre-sifted flour ingredients to the agar agar mixture and
mix on slow speed. The dough will form small crumbs the
size of peas. Next, mix in the yeast mixture and beat on
high speed for 3 minutes.
Coat a spatula with cooking spray and scrape down the sides
of the bowl, forming the dough into a ball. With the oiled
spatula, turn out the dough onto the baking sheet covered
with flaxseed. With the oiled spatula, flatten the dough
into a 12-inch round of the desired thickness. Medium thin
is best with a gluten-free pizza. With oiled fingers, shape
the edge around the pizza to hold the toppings. Coat a
piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Cover the dough
with the prepared plastic wrap.
In a warm place, let the dough rise for 45 minutes, or
until it has risen over an inch. I like to place mine on
the stove top of a 375°F oven with a clean dish towel draped
on top of the plastic-covered dough.
To make the sauce, in a large sauté pan heat the oil over
low heat and lightly sauté the garlic for a few minutes.
Add the onion and sauté until for about 5 minutes, until
the garlic and onion are translucent. Stir in the tomato
sauce, tomatoes, tomato paste, agave, amino acids, and
salt. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is
reduced to sauce consistency.
To assemble the pizza, heat the oven to 375°F. Bake the
crust with no toppings for 7 minutes. Remove the pizza from
the oven and spread 3 to 4 cups of sauce on the pizza. Add
1/2 cup basil on top. Distribute the mozzarella over the
sauce and basil. Bake 15 minutes longer, or until the crust
is golden brown. Garnish with additional basil.

stick and form dough into balls. Spray oil the bottom of a small
custard dish and flatten the cookie mounds slightly with the flat
bottom and slide off the cookie. Do not pull the custard cup
directly up or the dough will peal off.
Place a Popsicle or cookie stick in the bottom a 1/3 of the way
through at a 45-degree angle and place in the freezer for 30
minutes. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for
2 minutes before transferring to wire rack.
Gluten-free Note: You may use grain sweetened chocolate chips
though they may contain malted barley which contains gluten. For
a gluten free substitute use 3/4 cup unsweetened carob chips or
1/2 cup raw cacao nibs.
Yield: 12 large cookies.
