Eji's

Eji Atlaw has been appearing around the Bay for the past year, mostly at La Cocina events, but now she has her own stand in the 331 Cortland Marketplace. She sells abridged versions of the vegetable plates found at most Ethiopian restaurants, only more vividly spiced and vegan to boot; her ater kik alicha, lentils spiced with ginger and turmeric, is particularly bright. On weekends, Atlaw brings in all-teff (read: gluten-free) injera (bread) from her favorite producer in San Jose.
