Read MoreCreamy Sweet Potato Soup
I often associate creamy soups with winter and needing warmth. But I’ve been craving some rich yet light soup lately and played around to get a yummy summer soup. We ate this hot when it was fresh and then it was delicious eaten cold the next day for lunch. My favorite part about this soup? Its easy!
Sweet Dijon Tempeh
When I make tempeh dishes I usually default to using soy sauce to season it. Regardless of the kind of tempeh I’m making, soy sauce is my automatic “salt” addition. Since I started contributing to this blog I have been trying to break that and use miso in my tempeh dishes. Here is a simple recipe for a …

Rhapsody Supports VT GMO Labeling Bill
A couple of weeks ago the VT Senate passed a no-strings-attached GMO labeling bill. It is now on it’s way to Governor Shumlins desk where I hear he has already committed to signing it next Thursday. Learning about this sparked a lot of excitement in the activist/food safety portion of my mind.
Farmers to You-Rhapsody Partnership
Farmers to You works hard to bring fresh regional food to Boston area families. Every week they pick-up produce, meats, dairy, flour, and many other products around Central and Northern Vermont, including Rhapsody Tempeh (plain, teriyaki and BBQ), Rice Milk and Miso and then deliver it to family’s that have requested these products in the Boston area. …
Read MoreMiso Dressings!
Who doesn’t like dressing? It brings pizazz to whatever you’re eating and can add nutrients and probiotic organisms to your meal when you use miso as an ingredient. It is nice to use a blender when making dressings as this mixes the ingredients into a more creamy sauce. If you don’t have a blender, make …

Read MoreMiso Soup
As kids in grade school the topic of favorite foods always came up. Pizza, french fries, and grilled cheese were often favorites. But for me it was always miso soup with sourdough toast. As an adult I prefer steamed bread (this makes it more digestible) or fried mochi. Miso soup can be as simple and fast as boiling …
Read MoreHoliday Amazake-Nog
Nothing says the holidays to me like delicious warming smells coming from the kitchen. I like to make cranberry spice cakes, ginger cookies, mulled cider and my favorite: Amazake-Nog! Amazake has that thick creamy texture similar to eggnog. When warmed with the spices and vanilla the smells are heavenly and the coziness …

Read MoreWhy We Do What We Do!
I’ve been stewing about what I should write about for the first post after launching our new website. Tempeh recipes, Amazake recipes, Rhapsody Restaurant recipes of the past, who are we, what do we do, how do we do it, have all been topics I’ve considered. For inspiration I was browsing through our photo albums …
