Always a treat, this homemade chocolate pudding is as magical as it is delicious. It’s one of the easiest and quickest desserts you can make, and it’s divine eaten on its own or garnished with allergy-friendly whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings.

Our friend Mark’s grandmother, Flo Surkin, died on April 25 from COVID-19. She loved to bake and claimed a dessert wasn’t a dessert unless it contained chocolate. Mark asked his friends to post their favorite chocolate dessert recipe and picture on his Facebook page in memory of Flo.

This one’s for Flo. We know she would have loved it!…

We love potatoes and haven’t had a potato salad we didn’t like. They’re all good, this non-traditional one included. Since we had leftover potatoes yesterday from Joel’s live Facebook class on knife skills, this was the perfect opportunity to make this salad.

Our recipe was inspired by a delicious potato salad from The Vegan Joint in West LA. We had to replicate it. The server told us the ingredients were potatoes, onions, red bell pepper, relish, vegenaise, Dash, brown sugar, and orange and lemon peel. Sounds pretty simple.

And here’s what we came up with……

Join us as we walk you through making this diner classic allergy-friendly and also as a plant-based option. We also provide a link at the end of the post to Chef Joel’s youtube video on making the Joe’s Special.
