Limeade or Virgin Mojito
This summer has caught us by surprise, and after many weeks of rain we now have some hot weather. To cool down on a sunny day, there is nothing more refreshing than fresh homemade limeade. Limeade is just like lemonade, but made with limes instead of lemons. This recipe uses fresh mint leaves, which makes [...]
Vegetable Tagine
Vegetable tagine has always been one of my favourite dishes – its succulent smell and sweet taste make it a winner in my eyes. That said I have always thought it takes a lot of effort to make and you need to own a tagine dish, which I do not. Since I had way too [...]
Quick Mild Curry
One of the easiest vegan dishes to make is a curry. The only effort is chopping, and the rest is just mixing things together. Also in my opinion curry is not a fixed recipe, but using a combination of spices according to your own liking. For my vegan dinner tonight I decided to make a simple quick [...]
Coconut & Blueberry Breakfast
Since I took the vegan pledge I have been trying find alternative products to milk that work just as well or even better in recipes. One of my best discoveries so far has been coconut milk on muesli and in porridge, it does have one prerequisite; you need to love coconut flavour. This breakfast will give [...]
Carrot Leaf Punch
As usual I got carried away and bought way too many veggies from the market. Making carrot leaf soup wasn’t enough and I still had a large bunch of carrot leaves left over. I decided to try and make tea, but then thought maybe that’s a bit boring, so I made punch. Everyone loves punch [...]

When I got home and started putting things away, I couldn’t bring myself to throw away the carrot tops. So I decided to experiment and [...]
My Favourite Breakfast
I love breakfast! There’s something really special about waking up to sunshine, coffee, freshly squeezed juice and a bowl or plate of my favourite food. Luckily my favourite is also one of the simplest dishes anyone can make, you can prepare it in a matter of seconds, and it will keep you full until lunch [...]
Vegetarian Borscht
When spring arrives, I always feel like eating something fresh. I have recently rediscovered soups – something I had no appreciation for as a child. Now though I just find something really comforting in a bowl of steaming soup and it makes me happy knowing how many veggies I can add to just one pot of soup. [...]
Starting a Sourdough
Good sourdough starter is something that gets handed from generation to generation; a jewel of a baking family. Since I haven’t had the luck of inheriting such a fortune, I’ve decided to start my own. Before embarking on such an important journey, I did a little research on how to actually do this. While there [...]
My Guide to Happiness
Whenever I ask someone what do they want out of life, the most common answer seems to be happiness. However, when I ask how they define happiness, people tend to get stuck for an answer. The endless pursuit of happiness seems to be a widespread disease of the 21st century. Thanks to the modern media, [...]
