  • Vegan Layered Cake “Napoleon”

    Cake Napoleon was one of the two favorite cakes of my childhood. When I decided to give up dairy products, I mentally said “goodbye forever” to all the goodies like ice cream, cakes, and all kinds of creams. Who would have thought that all of this could be replicated using plant-based products! Baking Napoleon cake […]
  • Baked Cheesecake

    We travelled to Frankfurt with my hubby and were lucky to find nice vegan restaurant, where (among other great dishes) they offered various mouthwatering desserts. We ordered two types of cheesecake, and both were amazing: baked, sweet, low-fat, light and with perfect texture. I personally not a fan of raw desserts, because of nuts: can’t […]
  • Brownie

    This brownie cake is a favorite cake of the main sweet tooth in our house. I always have all the necessary ingredients at home. It can be prepared both in the oven and on a stove in a ordinary frying pan. Depending on the duration of the baking, the cake is always different. So you […]
  • Steamed Dumplings with Soya Chunks

    These dumplings are a great meal prep, yummy and special! I like to treat my guests with these vegan dumplings – it looks amazing on the plate, takes not much of your attention during steaming and it tastes really special and rich. No one will remain indifferent!  Whole Wheat Flour Dough I always use whole […]
  • Vegan Black Bean Borscht

    Borsch is not just a soup. It is The Best Soup Ever! I grew up on it – not even a week could pass without having borscht for lunch. Very tasty, hearty, rich soup with an invigorating bright red color! I really don’t know a better option for dining at home. The very moment when […]
  • Veganized Beshbarmak (National Dish of Central Asia)

    When I started my food blog, we went through different ideas and thought about the most unthinkable dishes that can be veganized. In my opinion, the craziest idea was to try to reproduce Beshbarmak – national dish of Central Asia. Kazakh New Year “Nauryz” Beshbarmak is cooked in Central Asia for big events – for […]
  • Vegan Cashew Sour Сream

    The classic recipe for vegan cashew sour cream. I share the recipe more for those who have not yet tried alternatives to sour cream, since every vegan already knows for sure how to make sour cream using nuts. It is very simple! You need a blender, water, cashews, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and salt. How […]
  • Vegan Tamatar Paneer Malai

    This recipe is inspired by my recent experience at Saffron Indian Restaurant. I have already forgotten about my favorite Indian dish – Tamatar Paneer Malai, which is usually made with paneer (unaged cheese, reminds feta cheese). The restaurant had the vegan option with tofu instead of cheese! I usually associate Tofu with Chinese or Japanese […]
  • Healthful Green Smoothie

    Green smoothies in all variations are a great start for a day. Do I even need to highlight the benefits of green leafy vegetables? The beauty of a smoothie is that you can consume a lot of greens in form of a drink without getting tired of the chewing process. For the past six months, […]
  • Veganized Shuba (Layer Salad with Eggplant)

    “Herring under a fur coat” (Shuba) and “Olivier” are traditional salads for the New Year in my culture. I really don’t know what these traditions mean for me personally, because my lifestyle is far from traditional. Perhaps this is nostalgia, a “recipe” for New Year’s mood. On the other hand, this salad is really delicious! […]
