Since being back in Holland after five weeks in Beijing, I have been craving some European foods, like root vegetables, cabbage and potatoes. So I went into the supermarket last week without a clear idea what to make and I picked up a celeriac root. Not really knowing what to make with it, I steamed…

SUPER EASY VEGAN MEAL: eggplant and tofu scramble, with a spiced coconut sauce
I have officially arrived and settled in my apartment in Beijing. One of my first discoveries was that we only have two gas burners, so when my roommates also want to cook, it can become crowded very easily. The amount of kitchen utensils is also verily limited (two sharp knifes in the entire kitchen, two…
Vegan Food in Glasgow pt. 1 – review of ready meals at Waitrose
I know it’s been a while. I was really busy with the last month of my bachelors, doing a research project which consumed most of my time. I also moved back in with my parents, because I am taking a gap year next year and I don’t want to pay my rent while traveling. This…
RECIPE: Super grain buddha bowl with rainbow carrots
I am clearing out my pantry and somewhere to the back I found some dry spelt and dry buckwheat. Seeing that it was not a huge amount, I thought I would throw them together into a buddha bowl! This bowl is packed with fibre and veggies, and the sesame and soy sauce add a nice…
RECIPE: 5-ingredient super quick udon miso soup bowl, also great for meal preps!
I love udon noodles. I don’t know what it is, but somehow I love noodles the chunkier or the thinner they are. Udon noodles have the added bonus of being sold precooked, making them the perfect ingredient for a quick dinner. The only thing that actually takes time is cutting and cooking the string beans,…
RECIPE: quick fennel red curry bowl
I personally think everything looks cuter in a bowl; Buddha bowls, sushi bowls, poke bowls, you name it. That is why, when I made this curry, I thought I would serve it in a bowl-style. I think the different components, rice, curry and vegetables, look so fresh and tasty together! For this vegetable curry I…

RECIPE: sushi bowl with edamame, wakame, wasabi cucumber and smoked tofu
I personally think that everything looks cuter in a bowl. I also think I do not have time to roll sushi. That is why I love making sushi bowls for dinner. This sushi bowl combines all my favourite sushi bowl components: a salty smoked tofu, wakame (seaweed salad), rice, edamame, the freshness of cucumber and…
RECIPE: my favourite vegan pumpkin curry with lime and ginger flavoured rice
It’s fall! And to me that only means one thing: time for pumpkin! I said before that I love pumpkin in all dishes, but when the weather gets colder and windier, I crave warming foods like curries. This pumpkin curry is my all-time favourite. I would advise you to adjust the amount of curry paste…
