Vegan Cream Cheese (5-minute, High Protein)
I think most of us are familiar with cultured cashew cheese. Sometimes I make my own using homemade rejuvelac. But the whole process of making basic vegan cream cheese takes up to a week. What if I want to spread something on my bagel right now? This time I didn’t want to rely on cashews…
Homemade Curry Spice Blend
I post a lot of Indian dishes on this blog, so I thought I would share a recipe of my homemade curry spice blend. This spice mix is heavy on fenugreek, both seeds and leaves, that gives it distinctive “curry” flavor. I don’t have access to some of authentic ingredients such as Kashmiri chillies, so…

I tried to make chickpea flour omelette with whipped aquafaba before, but I just couldn’t make it right. But what if I cook it in the oven?

Vegan Lvivsky Syrnyk (Ukrainian Cheesecake)
Lvivsky Syrnyk is Ukrainian type of cheesecake made of cottage cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla. As I replaced cottage cheese with firm tofu many times before, I though it should work great in this recipe too. Usually Lvivsky Syrnyk has denser and a bit grainy consistency than a normal one, yet my vegan version of…
Spring Soup with Chickpeas and Ramson
Why do I call it spring soup? Because it’s lighter than usual hearty soups, it has lemony kick and, most importantly, it is full of spring greens! To make this ramson soup more satisfying I cooked it with chickpeas. Chickpea is hands down my favorite thing in soups. Check out my classic vegan Chickpea “Chicken”…
