Chickpea and Pattypan Squash Tikka Masala
Smooth and silky curry sauces are my new favorite things to cook. My Tikka Masala base is very similar to the one in Vegan Butter Chicken. In both recipes I’m using cashews for creaminess. I decided to play with different textures of slightly crunchy roasted chickpeas and juicy pattypan squash. The pattypan squash is firmer…
Persian Rhubarb Stew with Chickpeas and Lentils
After making my Vegan Khoresh Rivas I was thinking about another variation of this Persian rhubarb stew. Rather than adding actual meat replacements I switched to more whole food style. Chickpeas and lentils work really well in this recipe. This time I replaced half of rhubarb with celery so the stew is less sour, has…

Looking online I found plenty recipes of Persian rhubarb stew, all made with meat. Only replacing meat with soya chunks or textured vegetable…
Seitan in Thai Red Curry Sauce
Recently I’m getting bored with tofu in curries and stir-fries. Plus I wanted to serve something “meaty” for my omnivorous guests. I decided to make seitan and spice it up to mask any weird flavors that a non-vegan person could taste. So I ended up with this seitan in Thai red curry sauce and everybody…
Tofu Fish with Vegan Sorrel Sauce
Looking online for sorrel recipes all I found was a classic French dish Salmon with Sorrel Sauce. And sorrel was the only one vegan ingredient in it. Well, such things never stop me. So I made tofu fish instead with vegan sorrel sauce. I must say this sauce is fantastic. Super creamy yet refreshing. Scoop it…
Summer Vegetable Pasta
Simplicity is the key when cooking this summer vegetable pasta. I was waiting for so long for fresh local veggies to pop up at the market so I didn’t want to make any sauce. Just plain vegetables and good old pasta. I love the sweetness of zucchini and bell peppers. All you need to do…
