There are a lot of good ones and some crappy ones. Just find one that you like.

I LOVE Rebar Modern Cookbook. A vegan/vegetarian cookbook created by Rebar, my all time favorite veg restaurant.

The book style isn't my typical go-to - I like the bright colourful, pics of every recipe type. However! I bought this book because of how much I love the restaurant, and the cookbook is just as divine. Everything I make from here always turns out amazing.

Yield - one 8" x 8" pan

The base

1/2 cup butter (unsalted and softened)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1/3 cup smooth peanut butter

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup rolled oats

1 cup unbleached flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

4 oz (120 g) of chocolate, cut into chunks (chocolate chips should do just fine)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 8"x8" pan and set aside. Cream together butter, sugars and peanut butter. Add the egg and vanilla, mix well.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the peanut butter mix from step 1. Stir well. Fold in chocolate chunks. Spread in the prepared pan, bake 25 min. Set aside to cool.

Icing

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 tbsp soft butter

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup icing sugar

1/4 cup heavy cream

3. Prep the icing by creaming together the peanut butter, butter and vanilla. Blend in the icing sugar. Stir in the cream until you achieve a nice spreadable consistency (use more or less than a 1/4 cup, if needed).

4. Ice the cooled squares, and decorate with additional melted chocolate drizzled over the top. Divide into squares and serve.

Pad Thai from Rebar: Modern Food Cookbook

with tofu, bean sprouts and roasted peanuts

Upon discovering that it was common among our cook friends to have given up trying to make pad Thai, a favourite Thai noodle dish, we were relieved to know we weren't alone. So we set out to try all the recipes we could find and come out with the best, one that we could rely on at home. This dish is an amalgamation of all the techniques and ingredients that we unearthed in our quest and it is a clear winner!

serves 4-6

8 oz. (240g) Snow Peas 1 lb. (454g) package rice noodles medium width 1/4 cup (60 ml) ketchup 1/4 cup (60 ml) fish sauce 1/4 cup (60 ml) water 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce 3 tbsp (45 ml) Barbados molasses 1 tbsp (15 ml) Sambal Oelek 1/2 tbsp (2.5 ml) cracked pepper 4 tbsp (60 ml) vegetable or peanut oil 1 block (1 lb.) of tofu 8 large garlic cloves 2-3 whole dried chiles, crushed 3 eggs, beaten 3 cups (720 ml) bean sprouts 2 bunch scallions, sliced 1/2 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped 1 lime 4 tbsp (60 ml) roasted peanuts or cashews

1) Star by putting a large pot of water on to boil for blanching the snow peas and soaking the noodles. Once the water starts to boil, add the snow peas for 1 minute, until bright green and just tender. Lift them out with a strainer or a slotted spoon. turn off the heat, add the noodles to the water, cover and let them soak until tender (about 5 minutes). Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water and set aside.

2) Meanwhile , make the sauce by whisking together the ketchup, fish sauce, water, soy sauce, molasses, sambal oelek and pepper . Set aside. Drain tofu and cut the block into half-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) oil in a non-stick skillet, add the tofu and saute until golden, stirring often. Set aside. Prepare remaining ingredients so that they are all at hand when you begin stir-frying.

3) In a large wok, heat 3 tbsp (45 ml) oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed chiles and saute them until golden stirring constantly. Add beaten eggs and scramble until dry and set. Next, add the noodles and keep stirring them around to combine with egg-garlic mix. The noodles will clump into one big mass, but that's okay; continue stirring them for at least 5 minutes (this is the point where most people give up!)

4) Turn up the heat and add the sauce, tofu, bean sprouts and snow peas. Stir constantly to heat everything through and prevent sticking. After several minutes, add the scallions and cilantro and cook until the whole dish is hot and steamy right through. Divide pad Thai among serving plates, drizzle with fresh lime juice, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and serve extra sambal oelek and fish sauce on the side.
