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…

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 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…
HIGH PROTEIN PASTA REPLACEMENT/WEIRD TOFU INSIPRATION
As you might have seen in someprevious blogposts, I recently spend some time in China, and even though groceryshopping required a lot of text-scanning and translating, I did want to step outof my comfort zone to try some new products. One of the things I definitely discoveredwas “tofu skin”. When I first saw this I…
VEGAN DUTCH RECIPE: sauerkraut casserole with smoked sausage and apple
I know that not too long ago I posted that I would stay in China for the next 3 months (see THIS post), but some unexpected things happened and I decided to go home early. Even though I really enjoyed the Chinese food, when I was preparing to go home again, I suddenly craved typical…
AUTUMN DINNER PARTY: a convenient way to present loose-leaf tea
This Saturday my parents are hosting a dinner party for around 35 people and after the several courses, there is of course coffee and tea. We wanted to serve loose leaf tea (since the flavours are then a bit more special than the tea you buy in the store) but having 35 people scoop their…
AUTMUMN TABLE DECORATION – a perfect pattern for left over yarn
This is going to be a super short post, but I just want to share my love for a crochet pattern I found on Pinterest lately. It is a pattern for crochet pumpkins that look knit, and since I love pumpkins, crocheting and knitting, this was the perfect pattern for me! I am going to…

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: healthy Mediterranean super grain salad – lunch meal prep
I recently moved houses, so I had to clean out all the cabinets in my kitchen. There I found a lot of super grains which I bought at some point, but didn’t finish. I was therefore left with small quantities of spelt, buckwheat and freekeh. This lunch salad was a convenient way to clean out…
