Piquant coconut cauliflower rice
The fam and I just came back from an awesome extra long week end in Goa that totally awakened our senses. The lively colors, the bustling sounds of the market, the relaxing ones from the beach and of course, the mouth-watering smell of chai masala, Indian curries, biryanis and sweet chutneys that made us hungry […]
Smells-like-a-piece-of-heaven strawberry crumble
The wonderfully complex aroma that emanates from my oven when I make this summery crumble, is just out of this world. It’s quick, easy and a total feast for the tastebuds. I usually serve it for dessert, still bubbling hot, with a dollop of vanilla ice cream; but because it’s crowned with naturally-sweetened granola, I […]
Unbelievably delish vegan chocolate mousse
When you google vegan dessert, you are sure to find dozens of avocado chocolate mousse recipes show up in your search results. It took me years to try my hand at it though: I was afraid it would turn out tasting too healthy if you know what I mean. But it absolutely works. I’ve had […]
Genius sweet potato fries
The first time I tasted sweet potato fries was in a vintage diner that made amazing-tasting grease-ladden junk food: juicy cheesy burgers, perfectly-coated onion rings, hand cut fries, real ice cream milkshakes, old fashioned floats, etc you get the drift. Anyway, needless to say, their sweet potato fries were absolute perfection. Of course, they were […]
Fresh and delish salsa verde
I am completely besotted by this Italian fresh herb sauce and make it all the time during the hotter months of the year. Light, yet intensely aromatic, it brings out greatness in any grilled fish, poultry, meat or vegetable you decide to pair it. It is especially killer good when spooned over salmon or a […]
Scheherazade’s overnight oats
You all know just how much I love overnight oats, right? They’re high in fiber, filling yet easy to digest, tasty, easy to make ahead of time…and all that. But that’s not what this recipe is about. Here, aromatic nectarine and saffron compote, orange blossom water-infused oats and sinfully lustrous almond butter turn a totally […]
Refreshing feta herb hummus
Hummus is a regular feature on our dinner table. I love my original recipe, but I’ve also jumped on the colorful hummus trend bandwagon and experimented adding other ingredients to it. I’d be lying if I said all of them were a success but so far, I’ve posted my favorites. It all started with beetroot, […]
Zesty primavera potato salad
I love a good potato salad, it reminds me of summer picnics, American-style barbecues and outdoor lunches. Each time we make one, everyone loves it and I wonder why it doesn’t show up at our table more often. In the fact last week, while having a “not-another-quinoa-salad” day, the spud didn’t even cross my mind […]
Green goddess hummus bowl salad
About a year ago, as I was browsing through Limetree Cafe’s merchandise section, a book entitled “Hummus Brothers” caught my eye. As you may remember from an earlier post, hummus is one of those things that I had trialled and errored several times. This gem of a book definitely helped me along the way and […]
Creamy tomato spaghetti (Vegan)
When I went off cow’s milk, a good creamy pasta dish (without avocado or coconut milk) felt like a distant memory from a past life. Or at least that’s how I saw it until I came across the velvety concoction that is cashew milk. In this recipe, I use a thick version of it (see […]
