Soy-free.
Soy does a lot of quiet work in a plant-based kitchen, which is exactly the problem when you can’t eat it. Every dish here is soy-free as written. Nothing to substitute, nothing to double-check.

Aaron Chow Lunch
A thick, boldly spiced one-pot stew of over a dozen vegetables, grains, and legumes, brightened with lime and vinegar. Nearly a complete meal in one bowl.
Burrito Bowl
Lime-brightened rice, spiced black beans and corn, and a tangle of quick-pickled onion for punch. The beans come together while the rice cooks, and it packs cold into a lunch box.
Chana Masala
Chickpeas simmered into a thick, spiced tomato gravy. Tangy, warming, and even better scooped up the next day.
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Crunchy, smoky, and roasted until they shatter. A cooling-oven finish keeps the crunch long after they leave the pan.
Ginger Carrot Soup
Sweet roasted carrots blended smooth with a warm hit of ginger and coconut, finished with lime off the heat. One sheet pan and a blender.
Hummus
Whipped pale and fluffy, bright with lemon and garlic softened in the juice. Five minutes in a blender and it's done.
Contains sesame
Lemon Quinoa Salad
Bright, herby quinoa with chickpeas, corn, and peas in a punchy lemon dressing it soaks up as it sits. Made to be packed cold and eaten straight from the fridge.
Lentil Bolognese
A deep, meaty lentil-and-tomato ragù, part of it blended smooth so it clings to the pasta like the real thing. Long-simmered depth out of a bag of dried lentils.
Contains gluten
Lentil Soup
Brothy and herby, with the lemon going in off the heat so it stays sharp. Thyme keeps it on the Mediterranean side.
Maple Nut Granola
Big, craggy clusters, lightly sweet with maple and vanilla. One sheet pan, pressed flat and left alone to set, covers breakfast and snacks for a week.
Contains tree nut
Minestrone
Chunky and everything-in — beans, pasta, and vegetables in a tomato broth deepened with caramelized tomato paste. Hearty enough to be dinner on its own.
Contains gluten
Peanut-Date Energy Bites
Chewy and salted-sweet, with peanut butter and soft dates blitzed into a no-bake dough. A few minutes in the processor, then the fridge firms them up.
Contains peanut
Spicy Black Bean Soup
Smoky, brothy, and blended just enough to thicken itself. Mexican-leaning comfort that comes together in one pot.
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
A soft-baked sweet potato split open over warm-spiced crispy chickpeas, warm spinach, and a garlicky lemon-tahini drizzle, finished with a scatter of pepitas. The oven does the work — barely any cleanup.
Contains sesame
Sweet Potato & Chickpea Bowl
Roasted sweet potato and crispy spiced chickpeas over quinoa, finished with a lemon-tahini drizzle. The template dinner you can build from whatever's in reach.
Contains sesame
Three-Bean Chili
Thick and smoky, with some of the beans mashed into the pot for body and a bright splash of vinegar at the end. Even better the next day.
