One of my favourite story featuring my amazing boyfriend is that he almost ate only Bolognese pasta when he visited Italy with his family as a kid. Needless to say, it’s one of his favourite things, and I have been experimenting with different pasta sauces that would measure up to the real thing. This isContinue reading “Simple Vegan Bolognese Pasta Sauce \\ Sauce Bolognese Végane”

My favourite fancy bowl combinations
I love fancy bowls! They are colourful, yummy, nutritious and so simple to prepare, especially if you food prep like I do. Here are my favourite ingredients to get you inspired, but really, you can make your own version of these by combining your choice of: grain + protein + greens/raw veggies + cooked veggiesContinue reading “My favourite fancy bowl combinations”
Homemade Almond Butter
If you have 20 minutes to spare, almonds and a food processor, you need to make this! I was craving almond butter to spread on some apple slices, but unfortunately I didn’t have any left in my pantry. I did have raw almonds however. After eyeing my food processor for a few moments, I triedContinue reading “Homemade Almond Butter”
Lazy faux-falafel collard wrap
When I came back home today, I was craving falafels. However, the warm weather makes baking falafel completely out of the question. So, I made a thick and chunky hummus that I used on some fresh collard greens. The result: the great falafel’s taste in a fresh and crunchy wrap. Perfect for summer! Here isContinue reading “Lazy faux-falafel collard wrap”
Chocolate Covered Strawberries, from scratch
I love chocolate covered strawberries because they are easy to prepare, always look impressive and are perfect for warm weather. I was craving these, but unfortunately, I didn’t have any chocolate in the house. I did however have some cocoa powder and some cocoa butter (go figure!). So, let’s make some chocolate from scratch! HereContinue reading “Chocolate Covered Strawberries, from scratch”
Jackfruit Tuna Sandwich
When I was a kid, most of my lunches were cheese sandwiches. Very simple and easy to make, they were a staple in my lunch box. However, from time to time, my mom would whip-up the most delicious tuna salad sandwich: tuna, mayo, mustard and cilantro leaves. On those days, I couldn’t wait for lunchContinue reading “Jackfruit Tuna Sandwich”
Simple Aubergine Spread
I really like aubergines or eggplants. The texture is so spongy, it is a lot of fun to cook with because it will absorb any sauce while keeping a nice slightly chewy texture. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is really not a big fan of this ingredient. I really wanted to find a recipeContinue reading “Simple Aubergine Spread”
Avocado Ranch Dressing
With spring finally here, we have been catching up with our salads and enjoying them every day. To make things a little bit more exciting, I tried to make ranch dressing. Now, this is funny because I never had ranch dressing before becoming vegan, so I am not an expert on how it should taste.Continue reading “Avocado Ranch Dressing”
Stale Bread to Crunchy Croutons, a Cinderella story
If you are gluten-free, you know that, often, gluten-free bread is a silly oxymoron. Too dry, yeasty taste, old sponge texture, strange smell, the life of the gluten-free bread maker seems to be filled with difficulties. Even the yummiest gluten-free bread often has a very short life-span. We rarely buy gluten-free bread, but when weContinue reading “Stale Bread to Crunchy Croutons, a Cinderella story”
Maple Glazed Tempeh
I really don’t like tempeh: there is something about its aftertaste that just grosses me out. However, this recipe will really make it more than palatable: it is quite amazing! No aftertaste, great sauce, fun textures and superb flavours. Yup, it is all good! Here is what you need: One large yellow onion, chopped thinlyContinue reading “Maple Glazed Tempeh”
