This vegan version of the original Chilli con Carne is super flavourful and full of structure. It’s super easy to make, essentially you put everything in a pan and let it cook for a while and it’s easy to store or even freeze. In this recipe I ask for canned beans and passata but if you wish you can also use dried beans (you simply need to let them soak overnight) and you can even make your own tomato sauce.

We have elevated the Chocolate Chip Cookie! Who doesn’t love Chocolate Chip Cookies - we like our cookies to be soft, not too sweet, and filled with chocolate! We played around quite a bit before figuring out what the best recipe is and sharing it with you and hope you love them.

Green Papaya Salad is my absolute favourite dish in the Thai cuisine - it’s fresh, filling and delicious and has that sweet and sour thing going on. Some people like to make their Green Papaya Salad with dried shrimp or other dried seafood and since I don’t really enjoy that I decided to make mine leaving out the dried seafood and replacing the fish sauce with soy sauce. In the recipe below you’ll find both options (fish sauce and no fish sauce) but to be honest I enjoy the soy sauce version much more myself. You can make Green Papaya Salad with Green Papaya but you can also make it with Green Mango or Jicama if these are easier for you to find.

I love a good dish of Spaghetti Carbonara but unfortunately it’s also very hard to find “the real deal” in many restaurants. Making carbonara at home is super easy but there are some steps that are important to remember if you want your Carbonara to be delicious: Never cook the egg! Yes, carbonara is eaten with raw eggs and these should not be cooked, use guanciale if you can instead of bacon - you can find guanciale in most local Italian shops or markets, do not use any type of cream or milk

There are so many times when I’m not sure what I want to eat but I know I want it to be filling, delicious and a bit “dirty” - these Vegan Tofu Burritos are one of my go-to dishes in these situations. They are easy and quick to make, super yummy, healthy but at the same time a bit messy. They also don’t require very many ingredients and are quite cheap which are additional points! You can make these Vegan Tofu Burritos in many different ways and you can add ingredients or remove ingredients. You can even use planted chicken or meat alternatives instead of the Tofu or you can use Chickpeas instead of the Black Beans

I absolutely love eating raw plums but somehow I like them even more when they are cooked, I especially like Plum Cake as the plums give the cake this extra moisture and texture that makes it absolutely delicious. For this Plum Cake I chose to use less sugar than I usually would and I even used Maple Sugar which is a healthier alternative to other sweeteners and can be a good source of nutrients. When buying Maple Sugar make sure to look for unrefined sugar made from pure maple syrup.

This homemade lemonade is super easy to make, I try to add as little sugar as possible and you can also put even less but if you want your lemonade to be a bit sweeter you can definitely add more. I use rosemary to give my lemonades an extra kick but you can also leave it out or go crazy and add basil or any other herbs you think will fit well.

This recipe is not only super easy (literally 3 minutes of prep time) but it’s also extremely delicious. I love the honey/goat cheese combination but if you’re not a fan of goat cheese you can substitute it either with vegan cheese or feta. Make sure you don’t forget the sage as it will really elevate your dish and give it that extra kick.

I fell in love with this salad after trying it for the first time. I thought that putting dates and pistachios together in a salad would sweeten it too much but the mix with the arugula, feta and pomegranate seeds is simply perfect. A salad that literally takes 5/10 minutes to make and you can have it either as a light lunch/dinner or you can serve it as a starter or bring it to a picnic (your guests will be impressed). It’s really one of those dishes that stands out because of its flavours but requires almost 0 time.

Greek salad is a staple of Greek cuisine and makes for a perfect light lunch/dinner or as a side dish. It’s best to eat it in spring and summer when the ingredients are in season and fresh. As most of the ingredients are raw vegetables this will make a huge difference! Even though some people like to add greens like rucola and cabbage to their Greek Salad the original recipe only includes: tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onions, olives and feta cheese. You can of course add anything else (I like to add a couple of capers).

This is literally my all time favourite summer salad as it has everything I love: tomatoes, feta, capers and bread! And you can even add some pesto on top to give it an extra kick. In Greece it’s usually made with Round Barley Rusks but I also sometimes make them with these Krisprolls you can find in coop.

One of the staples of Italian cuisine is the Caprese Salad - so easy to make yet so delicious! The most important thing when it comes to Caprese are the ingredients - use good Mozzarella di Bufala and good tomatoes. I usually use either Cuore di Bue (Beefsteak Tomatoes) or Cherry Tomatoes depending on which ones look better when buying them.

If you know me you know that I absolutely love making gnocchi. Both the vegan (eggless) and the normal version (we also added the eggless option below). Gnocchi are definitely one of the easiest types of pasta to make and you can even make them without any specific tools. This Gnocchi al Pesto recipe is one of my favourite ones to make as I love Pesto alla Genovese and the gnocchis really absorb it well.

This vegetarian soup is absolutely hearty and will make any moment cozy, it's the perfect starter but also the perfect main course if you don't feel like eating too much. as is customary with French Recipes you’ll find this soup to have some butter and cream which can definitely be substituted by for example Flora (100% plant based butter) and the cream can be left out completely if you wish. I already substituted the chicken broth with vegetable broth but in the original recipe Julia Child used chicken broth.

Cauliflower steaks are my newest addiction - they are filling, healthy, absolutely delicious and so versatile. This time I decided to make my cauliflower steaks with home made pesto and some Paprika Nussmesan from Chopfnuss. For those who still don’t know Chopfnuss they are a Swiss start up that make delicious vegan alternatives to parmesan which we love! This time I chose the Paprika flavoured one as I wanted to give my cauliflower steak an extra kick.

This Vegetable Fregola is my absolute favourite way to make Fregola - plus it’s healthy and vegan! Fregola is a fun Sardinian pasta that is a bit of a mix between pasta and risotto and it’s perfect for any sauce as it really soaks in all the flavours. I made this Fregola with Zucchini, Carrots, Potatoes, Onions and Artichokes but you can make it with any seasonal vegetables you can find at the market.

I honestly love this Peanut Sauce so much - you can make it with Vegan Rice Spring Rolls, use it as a salad sauce or eat it with any kind of meat or vegetables - I especially like it with baked peas and broccoli sprouts.

This Vegan Rice Paper Spring Rolls recipe is one of my favourite healthy things to eat and it’s also super fun to make especially if you are inviting friends over and they can fill their rice rolls with whatever filling they want. My favourite fillings are: carrots, cucumbers and marinated tofu.

Not only is focaccia vegan but it’s also extremely simple to make. Before making home made focaccia at home for the first time I always thought it would be the most complicated thing and I then quickly realised that it’s one of the easiest breads you can make at home.

This Vegan Mushroom and Spinach Sauté is my go to recipe on days where I don’t feel like cooking or days where I don’t have enough time to cook a bigger meal. This dish is perfect for a quick healthy lunch and is filled with vitamins and minerals like vitamin E and magnesium that support your immune system.
