THIS Is the Vegan Casserole Recipe You’ll Want to Make All Fall

Gabi Conti
Aug 07, 2018

Since opening her famous Notting Hill restaurant Farmacy, which Vogue called “the hottest table in town” in 2016, Camilla Fayed has been aiming to make a plant-based diet fun and accessible for anyone who might be curious. Inspired to lead a plant-based life after the birth of her first child, she quickly discovered the powerful healing benefits of this diet and created Farmacy to share her newfound philosophy with London. Now, you don’t have to book a flight or score a reservation at her restaurant abroad to taste her food. You can make the dishes in the comfort of your own home with Fayed’s new cookbook appropriately named Farmacy Kitchen Cookbook ($30).

The cookbook opens with a message: Create delicious food that’s good for the body and the earth. The recipes included are all vegan and pretty much gluten-free. While all are vibrant and attractive, they all seem fairly time-consuming. For instance, there’s nothing really “laid back” about the Laid Back Sundae, in which you have to make your own cashew ice cream, chocolate brownie, caramelized pecans, AND caramel sauce. But if you have the energy and means to tackle it, you’ll probably have an easier time digesting this vegan, gluten-free version than you would if you went to a diner and got the real thing.

Despite our hesitations, we put the book to the test and tried out Farmacy’s butternut squash and spinach casserole. This dish was easy to churn out, and the results were absolutely tasty. We cut some corners to save time (which we included in the recipe notes below). If you have zero patience like us, you can likely find similar shortcuts with other recipes in this book.

Butternut squash & spinach casserole RECIPE

(Serves 4 )

Recipe Notes: We saved time by using organic store-bought vegetable broth instead of making our own, and we soaked the cashews in boiling water for 15 minutes instead of soaking them at room temperature for 2 hours. We also used a mandoline to slice the squash thinly.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes, plus soaking and 45 minutes cooking

Ingredients:

For the Cashew Cream:

  • 1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours, then drained
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2/3 cup water

For the Squash:

  • Neck of 1 large butternut squash, peeled and sliced in disks 1/4-inch in thickness
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup crushed macadamia nuts

For the White Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for the dish
  • 7 ounces (~1 cup) spinach
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • pinch of grated nutmeg

Directions:

1. Place all the ingredients for the cashew cream in a food processor and blend until the mixture has a creamy texture. Add a little more water if needed to create a good consistency. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line two cookie sheets with nonstick parchment paper.

3. Put the squash slices in a bowl and toss with some of the coconut oil. Arrange the squash pieces on the prepared cookie sheets, brush with more coconut oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake inthe oven for 15 minutes or until barely tender. Remove from the oven, but leave the oven on to bake the finished dish.

4. To make the white sauce, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan andcook the spinach. Remove from the pan and put it on a board to dry. Gently pat the leaves dry (if necessary, use paper towels); the spinach must be completely dry or it will water down the sauce. Use the same pan to cook the garlic for 1 minute. Add the broth, coconut milk, and almond butter, and stir to make a thick sauce. Add the spinach, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.

5. Lightly oil a medium-sized, shallow ovenproof dish. Arrange a layer of about 10 overlapping butternut squash pieces on the bottom of the dish, then pour over some cashew cream. Repeat until you have 2 or 3 layers. Cover with the white sauce and sprinkle the macadamia nuts on top. Cover the casserole with nonstick parchment paper and bake in the oven until heated through, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook for a further 4 minutes before serving.

Bonus Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Wrap ​from Half Baked Harvest!

Half Baked Harvest

As a bonus, we're throwing in one of our favorite easy and healthy wrap recipes that pushed all the right buttons on flavor. You'll combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, herbs, lettuce, and a little cheddar cheese, fold them up in wraps, then pan-fry until warm and crispy!

These easy wraps, made by Half Baked Harvest, come together in mere minutes. They're crunchy on the outside, cheesy on the inside. Serve with the deliciously creamy jalapeño lime ranch and additional buffalo sauce! These healthy wraps are great for both lunch and dinner, but equally fun for a game night, too!

First things first: start with the buffalo chicken. Shred up a couple of chicken breasts and toss them with homemade buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt (for creaminess), and fresh herbs. Most buffalo chicken fillings are made with cream cheese, but you can swap in yogurt for a healthier choice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 4 large (burrito size) whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1-2 jalapeños or poblano peppers, chopped
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • Olive oil, for cooking

Ingredients for jalapeño ranch:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños chopped + 2 tablespoons brine
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

To assemble:

Make a cut down the center of your tortillas, then add the chicken to one corner, and the greens to another corner, and finally the cheese to another. Fold it all up, then pan-fry. So you've got...

  • One-quarter of buffalo chicken
  • Another quarter wrap of greens n' things
  • A quarter full of ranch
  • And finally a quarter full of cheese
  • Fold it all up into one triangle

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken, yogurt, buffalo sauce, chives, parsley, and dill.
  2. To make the ranch. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  3. To assemble, cut down from the center of the tortilla to the edge. Spread the chicken in the bottom left corner, then add a handful of the lettuce, jalapeño/poblano pepper, and green onions on the top left corner. Spread the ranch on the top right corner, and the cheese on the bottom right corner. Fold the buffalo chicken over the lettuce. Then, working clock-wise, folding that quarter over the ranch. And finally, fold that quarter over the cheese.
  4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet, add 1 wrap and cook 2-3 minutes per side until crisp and golden brown. Serve warm with extra buffalo sauce, ranch, and lettuce.

8 "Unique" Celebrity Baby Names That Are Super...Interesting!

When it comes to naming their children, celebrities don't really follow trends — they create them. Hollywood's A-listers have a knack for choosing baby names that spark conversation, from whimsical and unconventional to more timeless and elegant picks.

These star-powered selections also have the ability to set the stage for the next big baby-naming trend. So, here are some of the most memorable and unique celebrity baby names that have captured the world's attention.

Scroll to see all the unique celebrity baby names we love...and loathe.

1. Paloma

Campbell "Pookie" Puckett and her husband, Jett Puckett, have taken the social media world by storm with their seemingly picture-perfect romance and lavish lifestyle.

In November 2024, the influencer couple welcomed their daughter, Paloma, into the world after creating a lot of anticipatory hype surrounding their name choice.

Paloma has Spanish and Italian roots and is derived from Latin. It means "dove," in addition to "pigeon" and "butterfly." Those familiar with Greek mythology may recognize doves as symbols of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

2. Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett

Jason Kelce, who spent 13 years playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, faced some backlash for the gender-neutral names they chose for their three daughters.

However, gender-neutral monikers are more popular than ever before. And now that the couple has a fourth daughter on the way, they reportedly plan to continue the name trend in their family.

3. Riot

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made waves in 2023 when they named their second child Riot. The bold, unconventional pick fits right in with the couple's trend of sticking to "R" names, as Rihanna's full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and A$AP Rocky's is Rakim Athelaston Mayers.

Beyond its personal significance, the name Riot carries a strong, rebellious energy. It definitely reflects both artists' fearless approach when it comes to both music and fashion.

4. Winnie

When Jimmy Fallon and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, had their first daughter in 2013, they chose a somewhat unique name with a lot of personal meaning: Winnie. Welsh in origin, it means "gentle friend" or "friend of peace."

Specifically for the couple, though, it's a tribute to Lake Winnipesaukee, the picturesque New Hampshire lake where they got engaged. Plus, Jimmy added the name made even more sense since they viewed Winnie as a "win" in their life.

5. Grace Warrior

Everyone remembers Steve Irwin as the fearless "Crocodile Hunter" who tragically died in late 2006. More recently, his daughter, Bindi Irwin, welcomed a little girl of her own into the world in 2021 and named her Grace Warrior.

While Grace may be a more common name, meaning "favor" or "blessing," Warrior was a more unusual choice with a sentimental intent.

"Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior," Bindi shared on Instagram.

6. River Rose and Remington

Kelly Clarkson and her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, chose two distinctive names for their girl and boy: River Rose, born in 2014, and Remington Alexander, born in 2016.

With British roots and a whimsical feel, River is a gender-neutral pick that means "a flowing body of water." It was traditionally used more frequently for boys, but Kelly changed that trend.

Meanwhile, Remington is also British in origin and started as a surname, translating to "settlement by the boundary stream." Perhaps Kelly chose this sibling combination because both River and Remington begin with "R" and have connections to water.

7. Elsie Otter

When Zooey Deschanel and her then-husband Jacob Pechenik had their daughter in 2015, they chose a name that was both classic and quirky: Elsie Otter.

While Elsie is a timeless choice of Hebrew origin, which means "pledged to God," the addition of Otter gives it a more playful twist. During an appearance on TODAY, Zooey explained their reasoning behind it.

"We just really liked the name Elsie, and then we both love otters because they're so sweet and also smart," she detailed.

"They use tools, they keep their favorite tools, they hold hands while they sleep; there are so many amazing things about otters. They're wonderful animals."

8. Luai

Finally, in 2023, Lindsay Lohan and her husband, Bader Shammas, named their Dubai-born son Luai. It's Arabic in origin and means "protector" or "shield," but it remains a rare pick in the U.S.

Luay, a more common variation of this name, was only given to eight boys born in the U.S. in 2022.

Meghan Markle Makes Subtle Dig At Drew Barrymore's "Clingy" Behavior With A Six-Word Remark

Drew Barrymore is undoubtedly an acting force to be reckoned with. Viewers everywhere first fell in love with her when she played Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in 1982. Then, she went on to star in many other major productions, such as The Wedding Singer, Scream, He's Just Not That Into You, and 50 First Dates.

Nowadays, the 50-year-old is still showcasing her on-screen talents, just in a different way. Back in September 2020, she launched a daytime talk show known as The Drew Barrymore Show.

Over the last four years, she's featured a wide range of guests, from Matthew McConaughey and Vanna White to Paris Hilton, Millie Bobby Brown, and Reese Witherspoon. Drew has also become known for having a more touchy-feeling rapport with her guests, which some people have called "clingy."

This seemingly led Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, to make a dig at Drew's behavior during her appearance on the March 6 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.

Scroll to find out what Meghan Markle said about Drew Barrymore...

Meghan's new show, With Love, Meghan, came out on Netflix the day before. So, she planned to sit down with Drew to discuss her latest project, as well as other topics, including her courtship with Prince Harry and parenthood.

However, some viewers were shocked by an offhand quip that Meghan made during the interview, telling Drew, "I hear you like to connect." She proceeded to soften the blow by taking Drew's hand and claiming her touchy behavior was "so sweet, though."

Again, Drew has a reputation for hugging, touching, and sitting quite close to her guests. Yet Meghan, who has also been called warm and is known to go in for hugs, seemed more reserved and regal.

Despite Meghan's remark and the differences in body language, the pair still delved into some interesting conversation topics. For instance, the Duchess of Sussex detailed how, when she first began dating Prince Harry back in 2016, he made her a vow based on some old advice she'd received.

While Meghan was a college student, she'd worked as a nanny for two different families, and one of the fathers told her, "When you meet your person one day, I want him to say to you the same thing that I said to my wife when we got married, which is, I vowed to always date my wife."

Well, amidst her blossoming romance with Harry, she asked the Prince to make her that same promise. He responded, "I vow to always date you."

According to Meghan, she credits their strong connection to their commitment to treating each other the same way they did prior to tying the knot. In her eyes, holding onto the "good and joy" from the "butterfly period" of courting is what keeps relationships alive.

You can catch The Drew Barrymore Show live on weekdays. To find your local time and station, visit the link here.

Did The Residence film in the real White House?

The Residence might take place at the White House, but the TV show filmed on a very realistic set on Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles, rather than inside the real mansion.

“The set was not only a replica of the house itself, but also measurement-wise equivalent to what is absolutely already there,” actor GiancarloEsposito told Tudum. “And I’ve been in the real White House, so I know what it looks like. It just deepened my performance to feel like I was in the real place.”

Who was the killer on The Residence?

By The Residence ending, we learn that Lilly Schumacher, President Morgan's social secretary, is responsible for A.B.'s death. I'm still surprised!
