My dear friend Radhika hosted an intimate dinner for two last Sunday to celebrate my 60th birthday. A beautiful evening of heartfelt conversation, and delicious Mediterranean style Tuscan dinner in her charming garden, all topped off with a refreshing spritzer and white wine.

Mediterranean style Tuscan summer vegan dinner

Cheese and crackers, cucumber salad with sumac, baby zucchini and tomato salad, tofu and butternut squash stew with cannellini beans, sage and herbs, and quinoa were on the menu on this beautiful summer evening. All the dishes were vegan and they tasted outstanding! Spritzer and chilled white wine for a celebratory evening.
