I love all sorts of almond tarts and cherry frangipane is definitely my favourite! I made this recipe as an experiment and I the result blew my mind. This sugar-free vegan version tastes exactly like the actual thing if not better! The base is perfectly crunchy and buttery and the filling is so indulgent, soft,…

Grilled fig & pecan salad
I absolutely love figs and now is the best time to eat them fresh, so I try to use them as much as I can. This salad is such a delicious way to healthy and nutritious lunch or dinner. It has a lovely combination of sweet figs, peppery rocket and crunchy pecans. It’s easy to…

The Fluffiest Vegan Chocolate Mousse
This mousse is so unbelievably good and so very real! I still can’t get over it and still can’t believe that it actually worked and that I made a perfectly fluffy and airy chocolate mousse using… CHICKPEA WATER! It’s just crazy! Plants are amazing and powerful and they never stop surprising! I used to make…
Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
These Mexican style stuffed sweet potatoes make a great mid-week dinner and they are absolutely perfect in the summer, to enjoy with a bowl of nachos and a margarita! I tried to keep the recipe as simple as possible so I used the Mexican Bean Stew from the blog as the main filling for the…
Vegan Ice Cream Snickers Bars
These indulgent ice cream bars are perfect for summer! They are creamy and crunchy, sweet and slightly salty, coated with a thin layer or crispy chocolate. Simply beautiful! They are quite similar to the Vegan Snickers Bars from the blog, but more refreshing and summery, so definitely a perfect substitute for hot weather! They are…
Vegan Orange Polenta Cake
This is a perfect summer cake. It looks beautiful; vibrant orange colour, shiny on the top and crumbly in the middle, served with pomegranate seeds, coconut cream and fresh mint leaves. But it is the taste and the consistency that really hooks you. It is so soft, creamy and buttery but at the same time…
Epic Vegan Brownie
Usually when I’ve had vegan brownies, they were ok, but that’s it. They were never as sweet, as indulgent, as moist or as rich as the regular ones. That is until a few days ago, when it was rainy and gloomy I really fancied chocolate in its most unhealthy version so I thought: what the…
Easy Vegan Stuffed Peppers
This recipe makes a delicious and healthy dinner with verylittle effort. It doesn’t require too much preparation time, because once you’ve chopped all the veg, you just put it in a pan and let it cook and when that’s done, you just stuff it in the peppers and put it in the oven, so really…
Easy Vegan Banana Bread
I like bananas as such but I’m not a fan of anything else that tastes of banana, in fact, I usually stay far away from all things that might have some hidden banana in them, not to mention the ever so dreadful banana flavouring! This is why banana bread was never anywhere near my top…
Vegan Birthday Cake
Classic Vanilla, Cream & Fruit Birthday cake in vegan version! The idea for this cake came up when I wanted to make a beautiful and impressive cake for my friend’s birthday that wouldn’t ‘look vegan’. I have made plant-based chocolate sponge and icing before but to make this in a white version seemed a bit…
Vegan Salted Caramel & Chocolate Tart
I’ve always wanted to make this tart but never thought it would work in the plant-based version. Well, I was wrong. Very wrong. This tart definitely has got the ‘wow’ factor and nobody will believe that it’s vegan. What is more, it’s also healthy and unbelievably easy to make. I don’t know what else to…
