Fried Noodles is a type of Chinese fast food. An easy and tasty dish, one of my favorites! For the first time I tried Fried Noodles in Sri Lanka, where we spent our longest vacation (50 days honeymoon). We have been to Sri Lanka twice. We liked it there so much the first time that […]

About my first Vegan Meet Up in Limassol
6th of September Vegan MeetUp took place in Limassol. By coincidence, I was the one who organized it. When I moved to Cyprus, I started to follow all local vegan Facebook groups that I could find and participated in meet-ups when it was possible. Actually I took part only in a few of them, because […]
Home-made Vegan Sorbet
For those who don’t know, sorbet is a type of ice-cream made of fruits, it is also called “Nicecream” in vegan community. News states that last month was the hottest July in Cyprus over the past 11 years. Oh, dear. August is still coming! People, our planet is boiling! Very good time to be grateful […]
Low-Salt Sauerkraut
There are many opinions regarding Sauerkraut in a vegan diet. Some say it is a very important product to have in your diet, others say that because of added salt, fermented cabbage has few advantages compared to fresh cabbage. However, from my experience I would say that especially while transitioning to a vegan diet, fermented […]
Pitta Bread
What I don’t like about pitta they sell in a food-store – it always contains yeast. I can’t get it! Why you need to add yeas in a flat bread?! Sometimes I feel enough enthusiasm to make pitta at home. Basically, you need just tree ingredients to make it. And you need a pan – […]
Antioxidants
Some time ago my hubby and I made a small shift in our cooking habits. We discovered that peels of veggies contain a lot of antioxidants and nice nutrients that don’t deserve to be thrown away. Well to be accurate, we discovered that peels sometimes contain even more healthful elements than the vegetable itself. For […]
Chinese Style Vegetables
Did you know, that ancient Chinese Religions (Taoism and Buddhism) promoted meat-free diets? And monks were often vegans (source). Maybe this is the reason why Chinese cuisine has so many meat alternatives to offer, like seitan, tofu… And there are various Chinese dishes with vegetables and seaweed, that are traditionally made vegan. I like Chinese […]
Vegan diet, Doubts and Depression
If you would ask me 4 years ago, if I ever doubt the diet I have chosen, I would say “no, never” – and I would lie. Today I am able to admit the truth: as far as I know myself, I always doubt my decisions, and my diet is no exception. Vegan diet, same […]
Almond Milk in 10 minutes
I like to add plant-based milk to my hot drinks (tea, coffee, cocoa). Soya milk is my favourite, almond milk – second favourite. However, it is not that easy to make tasty home-made soya milk: I had several attempts, it took me a lot of effort, and still I like factory-made better. Quite different situation […]
Layer Caramel Cake
Today is our anniversary day and so, I made layer caramel cake for this special occasion (here’s video-recipe). I just noticed that I probably struggling with stage fright, because once I finally decided to make a nice video-supported material for this recipe I screw up a little bit by changing the order of actions. Nevertheless, […]
