Baked Omelette
I whipped up this simple recipe and in doing so discovered an easy, elegant way to feed eggs to several people at once.

This quick and easy bbq sauce will develop more flavor if you leave it in the fridge for a few days, but it's terrific when freshly-made, too.

Barbecued Tofu Sandwich
One of the things I miss most as a veggie is barbecue sauce, since it's typically eaten with steak or ribs. What can a vegetarian eat barbecue sauce with? I've just learned the answer: fried tofu. Give this barbecued tofu sandwich a try - you won't believe your taste buds.

This barley soup recipe from Sicily is a perfect vegan alternative to chicken soup when you're feeling under the weather.

When you cook your own beans, they are one of the healthiest things out there, and they are delicious with just a pinch of salt. They are also wonderful paired with feta and toasted walnuts, as in this simple bean salad.

Béchamel Sauce
This simple white sauce can be used plain, or as the base for herbs, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, nuts, or other additions. It can easily be made vegan using the alternate ingredients listed.

"Beef" bourguignon

I hated beets when I was a kid, but then as an adult I discovered that they don't come from cans. Fresh beets are packed with flavor, and this French beet salad couldn't be easier to make.

Bell Pepper Recipes
Bell peppers add interesting flavor and texture to recipe without the spiciness offered by hot peppers. Here are my favorite recipes featuring bell peppers.

Black beans, zucchini, and a bit of cheese folded into tortillas - this may be the best quesadilla you've ever tasted.

Black-Eyed Pea and Quinoa Croquettes
Crunchy croquettes made from black-eyed peas and quinoa are packed with vegetarian protein.

Blintzes
Although I've seen menus with various kinds of fruit blintzes listed, for me cheese blintzes are the only option. The creamy cheese filling complements the warm crêpe so nicely, I can't imagine filling it with anything else.

Bloody Mary
If you crave the spiciness of a bloody mary but don't want the alcohol, try this tasty virgin variation - or make the real thing.

Breads + Grains
Kind of an all-encompassing term: bread, muffins, tortillas, croutons....
