Chebureki is a traditional Crimean dish. It is also part of the cuisine of Greeks living in the Mariupol area. Traditional cheburek is made with fatty mutton. But today I’ll share with you a vegan recipe! I made these vegan chebureki in the first days of the war. I wouldn’t think back then that writing…

Buckwheat Patties with Roasted Bell Pepper Sauce (Vegan)
Just now I realized that I own a Slavic vegan blog and so far I posted only one(!) buckwheat recipe. Buckwheat is a staple ingredient here where I live and, to be honest, sometimes I find it boring. But believe me, these buckwheat patties with roasted bell pepper sauce are quite the opposite of boring….
Vegan Bosnian Burek with Ground Seitan
I might be banned in Balkan countries after sharing this vegan Burek recipe, but for the sake of this blog’s name I just have to do it. I tried different types of seitan and rolling techniques, and what I did here is perfect. The filling came out juicy and meaty with lots of different flavors….

Vegan Shepherd’s Pie (with Black Rice and Seitan)
The idea of making this Vegan Sheperd’s Pie came to my mind after I tried this Vegan Stuffed No-Turkey Roll. The combination of black rice and seitan is outstanding and it works very well as vegan minced meat replacement. The texture and the flavor of this vegan Sheperd’s pie is so meaty and earthy and…
Vegan Chicken Pineapple Salad
As I mentioned before Soviet New Year’s feast can’t happen without a variety of mayo salads on a table. That’s why I feel obligated to post veganized recipes of it even though I rarely eat such food myself. But this vegan chicken pineapple salad is a mix of Soviet and Western culture and I think…
Vegan Stuffed No-Turkey Roll
Christmas is almost here and if you’re in a mood of making a special dinner try my vegan stuffed no-turkey roll. Yes, it requires quite a bit of time and effort but it’s so much worth it! I went heavy on mushrooms in this recipe. They are literally everywhere: in stuffing, in seitan base and…
Seitan Stuffed Eggplant
Another stuffed veggie today. I guarantee that my stuffed eggplant will surprise even meat eaters! Combination of earthy eggplant and spicy seitan is so rich and bold that you won’t believe it’s vegan! Base of this recipe is my Homemade Beef-Style Seitan which is firm and spicy. But any type of seitan will work just…
