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…
Plum & Amaretto Tart Tatin
This vegan twist on a French classic is an absolute winner! The tart tastes sooo good with plums (which are now in season!) and the addition amaretto makes such a perfect match. This tart is really easy to make and it will all be ready in under an hour. I always thought it would be…
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cookies
The description is going to be short because these cookies are the quickest thing on Earth! You literally just throw all the ingredients together and put them in the oven, job done! They are also healthy and delicious so really there is nothing to dwell on, you just have to make them. Ingredients (makes 12):…
Vegan Tapas & Sangria
I absolutely love tapas. I love the variety and the endless possibility of mixing flavours and textures. Spanish tapas is normally quite heavily meat and cheese orientated but there’s some great vegan options too! I composed my tapas of patatas bravas, padron peppers, guacamole lettuce boats and garlicky mushrooms (I’m not sure if the lettuce…
Vegan tiramisu cheesecake
This delicious cheesecake is super decadent but still light and fluffy. The addition of coffee and alcohol makes it taste a little bit like tiramisu, but I thought it would be good to refresh the taste a little with some fresh raspberries. If, however, you are looking to get something that reminds more of the…
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…
