Salted Caramel Chocolate Pepita Squares

I originally planned this vegan salted caramel and chocolate squares as a Valentine’s Day recipe, but now that I’m looking at the pictures these would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.  The pepita seeds (pumpkin seeds) bring the leprechauny green and are also responsible for the satisfying crunch.  Pair that crunch with chocolate, caramel and sea salt … Read more

Cinnamon Okra Masala

Okra is such a beautiful vegetable. I always stop for a moment and marvel at how these unassuming plants are filled with such hidden beauty.  Okra is also a bit of an undiscovered superfood.  It’s low in calorie and nutrient-dense with high levels of vitamin K, manganese, vitamin C and folate.   When you chop up … Read more

I’m currently hooked on anything lemon-poppyseed flavoured. You may have noticed, I’m not always very creative when it comes to flavourings…usually I just stick with chocolate. So I guess that’s why I’m so excited to branch out and make other flavoured sweets (dare I say I’m sick of chocolate? :O shock horror!) like these lemon … Read more

Spider Pizzas

Spider Pizzas | Halloween Vegan Food | Vie De La Vegan

These pizzas are a spooky twist on a kid’s favourite meal. While they may seem like a bit of extra effort, these pizzas are truly simplistic with only two toppings – a cashew cheese “web” and olive “spiders”. To make the web, I used a gooey cashew cheese and piped it onto the pizza using … Read more

A brown lentil pizza crust, made from a can of lentils! Vegan, gluten free, oil free. Once again, I was inspired by this lentil pizza crust which I made a while ago. I’ve been meaning to make a spin on that popular pizza crust, using brown lentils instead of red lentils. This recipe is quite … Read more

Grilled banana halves. Homemade creamy coconut icecream. Sugar-free chocolate drizzle. A sprinkle of chopped walnuts. (Full disclaimer: we actually ate this for lunch. Such is the life for my little recipe testers 😀 ) By the way, apologies for the melty icecream photos…it probably was not the best idea to make this for photography purposes … Read more

Raw Choc Beet Cake

Chocolate and beetroot are like best friends. They always have a good time when they hang out together! (Actually, chocolate seems to be friends with everything…orange, strawberries, bananas, macadamias, even chilli…). Chocolate and beetroot really had a fun time in this raw choc beet cake 😀 First, there’s the chocolatey base. It’s topped with a … Read more
