I used to be very intimidated by the word “sushi”. It sounded very posh to me and I thought it can only be made with raw fish. But as it turns out, it’s just seasoned rice with some kind of filling wrapped into a nori sheet. Rice and algae are already plant-based. To make plant-based […]

Creamy cucumber salad is my favorite thing to bring to a BBQ party. It’s rich, refreshing, satisfying, and very delicious. You can have it with grilled burgers or vegetables. It is also delicious all by itself with a piece of bread or with baked potatoes. It actually works as a salad and as a condiment […]

This is a very simple recipe for a delicious, thick, plant-based cooking cream that is also oil-free, gluten-free, low in fat, and of course vegan. This is my favorite plant-based substitute for heavy cream – it has a very rich taste but it is very low in calories. It’s actually kind of funny because it […]

What is tofu scramble? Probably everyone who is avoiding eggs has tried a tofu scramble recipe at least once in their life. It’s a very simple recipe, you just crumble some tofu into a pan, saute it with some onions or your favorite vegetables and that’s it. It is almost as practical as “the real […]

This is a recipe for a low-fat whole-food plant-based curry. Most curry recipes out there call for coconut milk. But coconut milk is a highly processed food and very high in saturated fat. That can be a problematic food for people with heart disease and for those trying to lose weight. Because I really do […]

Warm, cheesy, and hearty casseroles are the best thing about winter. They warm up your belly and they warm up your home. What if I told you, there was a plant-based cream sauce so good, it could make you eat Brussels sprouts even if you don’t even like them? That might just be the case […]

For me, the point of sour cream is the richness and the tanginess it brings to a dish. It can make a totally average dish go to the next level. Where I come from, they say sour cream is for people that can’t cook. And I agree, it can make a huge difference with little […]

What is Spaghetti Lenilnese? This is something I just made up and I like it. So of course, I wanted something that sounds like bolognese but with a lentil spin on it, hence spaghetti lentilnese. You see, bolognese is usually made with minced meat, but I like to make a plant-based version of bolognese instead. […]

What are enchiladas? Enchiladas is a Spanish word for corn tortillas, wrapped around a filling and covered with a savory sauce. But I like to fill my enchiladas a little bit too much, that is why I only fold them and I don’t wrap them full circle. I don’t mind that when I don’t eat […]

What is curry? Curry is a variety of dishes originating from the subcontinent of India. But for me, curry is a treat for all the senses! The taste, the smell, and the colors! That aromatic combination of spices is just to die for and there is something almost addictive to it. This is one of […]
