How to make Rejuvelac

December 14, 2018 by Anastasia 1 Comment

What is Rejuvelac and why do you need to make it? The most important reason for me is that it works as a starter in culturing vegan nut cheeses. And it gives the cheese its earthy smelly flavor. And fresh homemade cultured nut cheese tastes much better than store bought. Plus it is way much…

Vegan tofu Benedict

December 13, 2018 by Anastasia Leave a Comment

This vegan tofu Benedict is a perfect idea for brunch. I’m using silken tofu here and it practically melts in your mouth. Regular tofu also works just fine. I would make it in Christmas morning if craving a savory breakfast. Be generous with the sauce, it tastes delicious!

This is going to be a short post about how to make vegan tempeh bacon. The marinade I’m using here is a base for all kinds of vegan bacon: tempeh, tofu, eggplant, carrot or rice paper.

I love chocolate. I love chocolate with orange. And I love brownies. These vegan orange brownies hit in the right place. The flavor is overwhelming. They put you right in a festive mood. Try them with gingerbread or chai latte and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…

Chocolate black bean soup

If I want rich, spicy and protein-packed soup I always make this chocolate black bean soup. Only one ingredient makes your kitchen smell like heaven. It is very fast to make if you have some beans already cooked on hand. Or you can use canned and add vegetable stock.

Coconut-lime ramen

December 9, 2018 by Anastasia Leave a Comment

This coconut-lime ramen is incredibly delicious. It is tangy, creamy and packed with umami! Noodles are my survival food for all time. When I was traveling on budget to Philippines I lived on fruits and noodles. My absolute favorite was calamansi flavored one. Calamansi is a local citrus fruit that looks like tiny lime. So…

Vegan pasta Carbonara

December 7, 2018 by Anastasia 7 Comments

This vegan pasta Carbonara is ridiculously easy to make and has a similar texture to the original. I didn’t use cashews because they give the sauce an overly creamy consistency. Since the original Carbonara doesn’t have any cream in it, I used chickpea flour and Kala Namak to make it super eggy!

Vegan onigiri with smoked “salmon”

December 6, 2018 by Anastasia Leave a Comment

When somebody tells me that I’m wasting my time for nothing, I’m gonna show them the picture of these vegan onigiris. These cuties are filled with smoked vegan salmon – basically marinated carrots. I tried this kind of carrot salmon in a restaurant and was quite impressed by how similar the taste was. It seemed…

Cauliflower cakes with sweet mustard sauce

December 1, 2018 by Anastasia Leave a Comment

These cakes are a bit tricky to work with, but the result is worth the effort. They have a mild “from the sea” flavour, but I don’t like to call them faux fish or crab cakes. It’s cauliflower, and I love it! The recipe makes 12-14 cakes, so feel free to cut ingredients.

I stumbled upon some sad-looking wilted mint in my fridge today, and you know what? It got me thinking—why not whip up a light lunch or a fancy side dish to bring it back to life? So, I decided to make this delightful, minty quinoa dish. The best part? You can totally switch up the…
