I don’t see myself as a militant vegan. Sure, I think the world would be a better place if everybody started eating (more) plant-based foods and reduced or diminished their animal products intake, but I understand that that transition isn’t easy. One of the things I like to do therefore, is show meat-eaters how tasty…

RECIPE: VEGAN MANGO CHEESCAKE – light and airy, with passionfruit
I love baking cakes, and even though I like a rich chocolatey cake or cakes with lots of spices, I think summer asks for lighter and fruitier options. I especially love the flavour of tropical fruits like mango and passion fruits. I think they go well into a fruity and light dessert with a mousse…
VEGAN LEMON POPPY SEED CUPCAKES WITH LEMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I love the fresh smell of zested lemons. The freshness just really lifts my spirit. One of my favourite flavour combinations with lemons is poppyseeds. Not only do the flavours go well together, I think that incorporating poppy seeds in recipes adds that extra bit of crunch. In this cup cake recipe, I used quite…
VEGAN OIL-FREE APPLE PIE GRANOLA
I love granola’s, but I am quite picky. I don’t really like raisins, dates or cranberries, and I prefer my granola not too sweet. I do however like some crispiness and some nuts. I did like the Eat Natural granolas, but they tend to be made with honey (why?) and they tend to be really…
VEGAN ICE CREAM REVIEW: Oppo very almond berry
I love trying out new vegan products, especially ice cream. I have previously tried several kinds of (low calorie) ice cream, some with more success than others. I enjoyed the Alpro 360 flavours that I tried (see HERE), while the different Halo top flavours were less of a hit (especially the salted caramel flavour, see…
VEGAN DINNER: super easy and quick udon noodle soup bowl with shiitake (one pan!)
I love udon noodles. I have said it before when I shared my meal prep udon noodle soup with you HERE. The soft texture of these thick noodles is something I can really crave sometimes. Another bonus is their short (or non-existent) cooking times. Check the packaging of your noodles to see if you have…
VEGAN PRODUCT REVIEW: Halo Top peanut butter cup vs. Alpro 360
I know that this is a stressful time for everybody, with all the uncertainties that the new coronavirus, COVID-19 brings. Everything in our every day life is affected, including shopping for groceries. I understand that getting the basics is difficult enough, let alone be able to spend that extra bit of money on luxury products…
VEGAN LUNCH: sesame roasted broccoli with ginger rice and soy “chicken”
I love meal-prepping, can you tell? Over the last couple of weeks I have been posting some warming soups, but sometimes I want something more substantial. My sister recommended oven roasted broccoli to me, so I had to try that. Since the green asparagus were on sale in Tesco, I chugged them in as well….
RECIPE: Quick vegan pumpkin and swede soup
I hope you enjoyed my roasted tomato soup (which can be found here), which I made for a meal-prep two weeks ago. This week I am back cooking soup to meal-prep lunches for the week with another warming soup. Since it is still quite cold, I thought I would use some nice pumpkin (bottle gourd,…
REVIEW: vive vegan protein bars
I know it is not “Veganuary” anymore, but I am (mostly) vegan anyway, so when I came across this add for a new vegan protein bar, I had to try it. Vive is a brand that offers protein powders, protein bites and protein bars. Recently, they had an offer to try their three flavours of…
