I cannot believe I am already writing the fourth vegan menu! I have gotten so much positive feedback for my previous menus, so I was glad to make another one. I really hope you have gotten some delicious ideas from the last menus and maybe your weekly dinners are now a bit easier and even tastier.…

Important update – a brand new mailing list!

Hey ya’ll! I’ve made an important change by creating a brand new mailing list. Since the older list was so limited and only sent out automated e-mails when I published a new post, I really wanted to make a better version. The new mailing list is much more personalized and informative. Here’s what to expect:…

Easy pea and cabbage patties

Pea patties are probably one of these foods that I have prepared countless times. I’ve made them for dinner, for visiting friends, or at a catering event or cooking workshop. So I always have a pack of dried split peas at home, so I could cook up a batch of pea patties any time I…

Easy red lentil and vegetable soup

I know, the recipe title might seem a tad boring and who hasn’t made lentil soup before, but hey! This soup is so amazing in its simplicity and taste. It has been my latest favorite and I make it all the time. Even my dad and mom really loved it when I made it for…

Our lakeside vegan dinner party (with tons of food and photos)

When is the best time to invite friends over and cook loads of delicious food? Of course on Hexennacht. Or Walpurgis Night, if you please. But Hexennacht sounds so much cooler, right? A night where the witches are flying around and people are making huge log fires and celebrating the end of a long winter. Right…

Vegan pasta salad with sun-dried tomato pesto

I know, I know…it’s late September, but pasta salad is a hit in my kitchen all year round. It’s time to celebrate, because I became a second time aunt yesterday! My brave sister gave birth to a baby boy. Hurray! He might be a tad young for this salad, but it’s a little virtual birthday…

Vegan barbecue special (many great grill recipes for inspiration)

In Estonia, Midsummer is definitely the biggest holiday of Summer. It’s a tradition that is mostly celebrated by Nordic people. When I was a little kid, I was so excited for Midsummer. Me and my friend Anna always got together and grilled some sausages and jumped over the fire. I even remember that one year I was…

Peanut butter and vegetable curry

In Estonia, peanut butter isn’t really popular and it is quite new in our stores. That is a shame, because I have started to use this protein-packed nut butter in many recipes and I love it! I already have two very delicious peanut butter recipes on this page. Try these carrot and peanut butter brownies and this…

Beet and lentil soup

I remember how I used to be a soup fan nr.1. Now I rarely make and eat this healthy and cheap food. It is a real shame! I used to love split pea soup, broad bean soup, sauerkraut soup, borscht, potato and macaroni soup, different vegetable soups and so on. I wasn’t a fan of the…

Oriental rice noodles

The first vegan fair in Estonia took place in 2011. I remember clearly how one nice girl came to my table and told me that this rice noodle recipe is her all-time favorite. I also love this recipe, otherwise I wouldn’t share it with you. Again, it is so simple, cheap and tastes lovely. 1…
