This flaxseed pudding is my answer to highly popular chia puddings. In my opinion flaxseed is way underrated. It is even slightly higher in protein and Omega-3 than chia seeds. And after soaking your seeds the protein is easier to digest. So don’t skip it.

Tahini Dressing (oil-free and vegan)
Tahini dressing is my favorite salad dressing of all. And it’s just perfect for falafel and Buddha Bowls. Add your favorite herbs for different flavor variations. Blend in some chickpeas for thick and rich sauce. This is more like a suggestion than a recipe. Let me know in the comments below about how you prefer…
Roasted Carrot and Red Lentil Soup
Yummy, super creamy, rich and refreshing roasted carrot and red lentil soup. If you like creamy soups you should make it immediately. Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to the sweetness of your carrots. Add some cayenne pepper if you like it on a spicy side. And enjoy it with fresh cilantro or/and crispy…
Beetroot and Tofu Patties
Look how adorable these vibrant pink beetroot patties are! They are juicy and flavorsome as they appear on a picture! I love to sneak tofu into lots of my recipes for extra protein and calcium. Plus tofu is an excellent binder to make such things like patties or vegan meatballs. And you can’t taste it…
Black Quinoa with Brown Rice and Ramson
Some time ago I bough a package of black quinoa. I don’t like how it tastes on its own cause it’s too chewy and crunchy for me. So I was thinking of other grains to mix it with. White quinoa doesn’t work well because of different cooking times. And today I tried it with brown…
Vegan Banosh (Ukrainian Corn Grits with Mushrooms)
Banosh is a highlight dish of Ukrainian Carpathian cuisine. It is extremely far from being vegan or healthy. Basically it is cornmeal cooked in homemade sour cream which is high in fat and topped with very salty Brynza cheese, fried pork skin, onions, mushrooms and so on. You can imagine how terrible it is. But…
Chunky Potato Fennel Soup
This potato fennel soup represents my love for pure veggies. I didn’t use any spices or other ingredients that can overpower elegant and sweet taste of fennel. Instead I played with texture and sweet and sour balance. It is chunky, creamy and delicate. Serve this soup with rye seeded bread or croutons and enjoy the…
Vegan Dirty Rice
Rice and beans are classic combination in vegan cooking. My vegan dirty rice makes a delicious and nutritious side dish or it can work as a filling in your lunch wraps. Keep leftovers in a fridge for a quick meal. I’m using black beans here for a contrast dirty look. You can add some green…
Artichoke Cakes with Vegan Caper Tartar Sauce
Something for fans of everything rich and savory. These crab-like artichoke cakes are full of flavor, rich, filling and briny. The vegan caper tartar sauce is fresh, crisp and creamy. Initially I made twice more of the sauce and it was overwhelming. The artichoke cakes are fluffy and moist and don’t require pretty much anything…
Vegan Tuna Salad
This is my favorite vegan tuna salad recipe. Here I’m serving it as a wrap. It’s also perfect in a sandwich or on a toast. I’m using dried nori here to give it fish-like taste. Nori works the best for me. I tried kelp granules before but the taste was very subtle. So if you…
