Whole Food Plant-Based Recipes. No Oil. No Sugar. Simple and Clean.
Imagine that it’s Sunday morning and you are not in a hurry having all the time you need to prepare a comforting and delicious breakfast. Usually pancakes and waffles come into mind, don’t they? However, generally comfort foods go hand in hand with guilt as the conventional versions (even plant-based) […]
Welcome spring with coloured layer’s Ricotta Chocolate Sponge Cake. That is vegan, gluten-free and oil free, but above all delicious! Spring is about colours. What I love about living in Spain is that you actually get spring when it’s March 20 or even before. In Tallinn there are still blizzards […]
Learn how to make fermented buckwheat bread that uses no starter and is also gluten-free and sugar-free. One of the greatest things I discovered after adopting plant-based diet was raw buckwheat – you can make boiled porridge, raw buckwheat porridge or ricotta, ricotta creams for cakes or to eat as […]
Every year when the pumpkin season begins I start cooking it in any way I can – I make pumpkin puree to add to muffins, cakes and cookies, cook stews and curries, make soup and risottos, add to pancake batter or just oven-bake and add to salads or use as […]
I’ve made pumpkin stew with chickpeas, cauliflower, tomato sauce and spinach before, but never tried with just two main ingredients. I actually got inspired by the best vegan buffet I’ve ever encountered – Miobio Vegan Buffet in Valencia where we had several great lunches. On one occasion a deliciously sweet […]
I don’t make cakes very often – I’m more of a bread and muffin person, because they are easier to divide into portions and freeze. However, sometimes I come out of my comfort zone and make the effort to create festive bakes. This vegan chocolaty chocolate cake is definitely something […]
It’s Valentine’s Day on Sunday – I think you’ve noticed all the heart-shaped food, decorations and much more in shops, supermarkets, cafés etc. In my version, I will deserve chocolaty valentine’s day oat-banana cookies. I guess people usually don’t reflect on history of Valentine’s Day – sadly, it has turned […]
Carnival/Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras – beloved child has many names and is observed in many ways worldwide. No matter what its name is, the day before Ash Wednesday has long been a time for eating and merry making. So, this day I would like to […]
I prefer quick and filling lunches that I could also eat in smaller portions. That’s why I concentrate on legumes and starches when preparing lunch. There’ll be just a bit of veggies to accompany beans or lentil stew. I have my huge salad bowl with plenty of veggies for dinner. […]
My family has had smoothies as first breakfast for a few years now. My husband started the tradition as he was looking for a breakfast that’d allow him to ditch the first coffee in the morning, as he was anxious to cut down the daily dosage. This time could be […]
This post is a reminder of last Christmas, which I spent with my family in Valencia for second year already. On Dec 22 I still didn’t know what to cook for Christmas Eve as my kid had an eye infection and I was busy nursing him. The next day I […]
To me one of the things that create the best holiday feeling is the smell of freshly baked gingerbread. I still remember from my childhood how my mother used to make an enormous batch of gingerbread batter every Christmas. She made it in a huge pot and placed the ready […]
