Easy vegan pancakes. Inspired by the lovely Suus from Puur Suzanne, a Dutch blog that soley focuses on eating delicious plant based foods. She released her very first cookbook and we made these simple vegan pancakes.

A few days ago, we had our first couple of warm days of the year (not a fan, and not happy). We ate our first asparagus and turnips, and now the time has come for rhubarb. A while ago we made a rhubarb compote to go with this wonderful cheesecake, and now we have created a lovely lemon rhubarb cake.
This cake tastes wonderfully fresh and a little sour, but I think that’s what makes rhubarb actually taste like rhubarb.

This pie has been quite the project. We began working on it last year for my birthday in January and only now , a year later, I can finally say we did it: a vegan and gluten free lemon meringue pie. We have had to deal with terrible crusts, aquafaba that tasted like kitchen soap, and a filling that was way too sweet, lumpy, and did not actually stay in the pie when you cut a slice. But now the time has finally come: a not terrible version you can actually make!

An argument you often hear about why people find it difficult to live more environmentally friendly, is money. Many organic products – whether it’s food, clothes, or cosmetics – are more expensive than the regular products. And sadly, that is the truth. Sometimes I read pieces from brave blogger who come up with all sorts of theories to prove that actually, when you look at your total expenses, this is not true. But whenever I do my groceries at the organic store, I’m shocked to see the bill and I do really want to cry when looking at the prize tags of certain fashion brands. So, yes, living more environmentally friendly is more expensive, but there is also a lot you can do without it ending up with you breaking down in front of a cashier. ..

If you have been following us for a while, you probably know summer isn’t exactly my favourite season of the year. I don’t much like the heat, that barbeque smell, or the extra noise outside. But I do love all the fresh fruits that are now available in the shops, and admittedly, summer morning are perhaps some of the most gorgeous mornings in existence.
Here is our simple sweet summer pie with vegan lemon curd

If you want a quick and easy breakfast or snack to make without an oven, then rawnola is what you need. Seeing as it has become customary for us to start the day off with granola, it can be nice to mix things up a little sometimes. Oh, and if you add some extra dates or other dried fruits to this recipe, you can also make some delicious bars to take to school or work with you.

Granola is the perfect recipe for someone who can’t bake to save their life, but it is also a great basis for a good healthy breakfast, and will give you a happy feeling for the rest of the week.
To be completely honest, this is also my way of cooking and baking: throw a bunch of stuff together and pop it in the oven. But, of course, Food Bandits does sound a lot nicer. We make a big bowl of granola regularly, and I have some every morning with some fresh fruits, and Johann drowns it in almond milk.

Does this post really need an introduction? I can’t even express how happy and relieved I am now that we have a great recipe for gluten free and vegan pizza, that also actually tastes like pizza. No offence, but cauliflower is not pizza and courgette is not pasta. Both are great as veggies. Definitely! But we want actual pasta and actual pizza.

This recipe has cost us a lot of sweat, blood and tears. Even though you can create some gorgeous white peaks from aquafaba (the water you find in canned chickpeas), I now found out the hard way that baking an actual classic pavlova with it is still quite a struggle. I think we must have tried out at least ten versions of this cake, but in the end, right at the moment we had decided to give up if this one didn’t work either, we succeeded. T

When I saw this vegan strawberry custard tart in the Vegan for good cookbook by Rita Serano, I knew I wanted it try it out. I immediately longed for summer when I saw those strawberries and the tart turned out to be lucious and tasty.

Als je hier bent voor de cake, wat ik geheel kan begrijpen want dit is de ideale cake voor het 'zal ik ook eens vegan gaan bakken maar ik hou niet van bakken en ik lust eigenlijk ook wel vlees'- mens. U kent het wel, eigenlijk de meesten onder ons. Misschien helpt het als ik zeg dat dit een soort bananenbrood is en dat je daar eigenlijk nooit genoeg versies van kan hebben.
Misschien dat de boekweitmeel wat 'geitenwollen sokken'- aanvoelt maar boekweit heeft een geheel eigen smaak en is niet duur. Ben je nieuw met boekweit dan raad ik je wel aan om de hoeveelheid genoemde dadels te gebruiken maar mocht je de smaak al kennen en heerlijk vinden dan kun je ook zeker met minder toe.
Het is heel lang geleden dat ik een taart als deze heb gegeten, een standaard deeg maken wat glutenvrij en vegan is valt niet mee. Je mist al gauw de samenhang en elasticiteit die gluten en eieren creëren in een deeg. Maar ik geloof dat het ons is gelukt en dan heb ik het nog niet eens over de heerlijke appelvulling.
En waar ik normaal van het gooi en smijtwerk ben vraag ik je nu om het recept te volgen.
Eton Mess of zoals Nigella het noemt: 'massamoord in een sneeuwstorm' is wat mij betreft het ultieme kerst dessert waar het niet alleen de drank ontbreekt. Waar normaal Eton mess wordt gemaakt met meringues en opgeklopte slagroom hebben wij een vegan versie voor je ontwikkeld. De meringues kun je een dag van te voren maken en waar misschien de drank ontbreekt maakt het fijn knijpen van de meringues weer een hoop goed.
