A Chef's Surprisingly Simple Kitchen Setup
After four decades working in professional kitchens, vegan chef Derek Sarno walks through the essentials he actually uses in his new Vermont home kitchen — and it's refreshingly minimal. From Lodge cast iron and Hestan pots to a well-oiled cutting board and a handful of go-to spices, this is a candid, no-fluff tour from someone who's learned that less is more. A grounding watch for anyone who loves cooking without the clutter.
Creamy White Chickpea & Kale Chili with Cauliflower Cream and Crispy Soy Curls
Chef Derek Sarno makes a hearty vegan white chili packed with chickpeas, white beans, butter beans, and kale, all brought together with a silky blended cauliflower-yogurt cream. Crispy spiced soy curls add a smoky, chewy texture that makes this a complete, satisfying meal. Yields five quarts — perfect for budget-conscious meal prep.
