Aromatic vegan oven-baked broccoli pakora
You don’t have to be a connoisseur, not even a major fan of Indian food, to love pakoras. The base is chickpea flour mixed with aromatic spices and oil, which then combines with your favorite veggies, cheese, or tofu. Originally, pakoras are fried. This is why I have avoided making them, fearing that the oven-baked […]
Appetizing asparagus cheese tart with chickpea crust
Who doesn’t love tarts? Sweet or savory, it doesn’t really matter for me. However, this is a dish I rarely ate and never made, because typically, it is based on puff pastry. But, when I discovered homemade chickpea pie crust, baking delicious pies and tarts became a regular deal for me. Why? Well, puff pastry […]
Healthy full-flavored oat banana pancakes (vegan)
Adding bananas to pancakes is a very common thing. But for some reason, this treat inspired me when I tried it in Indonesia, where this way of preparing pancakes made a whole lot of sense. However, the version I had on this small island off the coast of Bali, was greasy and not really nutritionist-approved. […]

Homemade mixed quinoa crackers
It is very interesting to experiment with different cereals and discover a variety of characters. I used to use only wheat for preparing crackers. Then I discovered spelt (again, a type of wheat but healthier) and loved how easy it is for baking. Oat is also among my favorites. However, after I’ve successfully made a […]
Dreamy and creamy avocado cashew dip
There is not much to explain if a recipe title contains words avocado and cashew. And if you’re guessing this dip is sinfully delicious, you are right. Creamy avocado cashew nut dip is vegan and extremely simple to make. For this entree to be in line with the recipe name, you need to soak the […]

Irresistibly creamy chickpea peanut butter curry
The first time I made this stunning dish, I was still using canned chickpeas and cooking 2-3 Indian dishes in total. Not that I cook a hundred now; but at the time, this was as complex as I’ve reached, and tasting the result really motivated me a lot! Fast forward a couple of years, and […]
