  • Rhubarb & White Choc Cookies

    Rhubarb & White Choc Cookies

    Not posting so frequently at the moment, but thought I’d share these amazing, chewy rhubarb, white chocolate and cardamom cookies while you still might get hold of some rhubarb. They are seriously the best cookies I’ve eaten in ages. I brought them to a little get together and everyone seemed to love them, because they… Read more »


  • French Toast

    French Toast

    Can you believe that I’ve never made French toast before? My kids were beyond excited to hear about “pancake toasts” and munched down a whole bunch of these. Luckily, I made quite a few so there were enough for me too. I thought it would be timely to post these on Le Quatorze Juillet, the… Read more »


  • Vegan Pancakes

    Vegan Pancakes

    It’s been a a while since I posted pancakes. It’s the perfect food to bring on a picnic – my youngest agreed and quickly ate five of these. Served with summer berries like strawberries, cherries and passion fruit, they’re even more delicious. Here’s my go-to recipe: 5 dl plain flour0,5 dl potato or corn starch4… Read more »


  • Almond Pear Cake

    Almond Pear Cake

    I made this cake the other week, and as usual I improvised as I was whipping it up. Sometimes it fails, but this time it was a winner! It was so moist and sweet, and the pears added a very nice touch. 1 dl almonds, blanched1 dl caster sugar100 g almond paste (like a coarse… Read more »

  • Chickpea Blondies

    Chickpea Blondies

    A blondie is like a pale version of brownie, and this one is actually made with chickpeas. I have to say I was a little sceptical, but when I realised is tasted like a really, really good cookie dough, I was sold! I thought this would be a great way to get the kids to… Read more »


  • Salted Chocolate Tahini Cookies

    Salted Chocolate Tahini Cookies

    I finally got around to making these cookies that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I didn’t think the kids would be too keen, with the salt and tahini (all the more for me!) but I was wrong. The 4-year-old had a proper breakdown when I didn’t let him eat these cookies for… Read more »


  • Lemon Polenta Cake

    Lemon Polenta Cake

    Another new discovery I’ve made here, and that peaked my interest, is polenta cake with citrus. I could just imagine how moist and tasty it would be. And it did not disappoint. I veganised a recipe from @systrarnaeisenman. Here’s my take, with tangy lemon and a rich, moist cake with polenta and almond. Try it!… Read more »


  • Blueberry Ice Cream with Chocolate

    Blueberry Ice Cream with Chocolate

    I had some leftover whipped oat cream (my favourite plantbased whipping cream, is Aito) that I didn’t want to waste. I stirred in a little bit of agave syrup and vanilla powder and a handful of frozen blueberries. Then I put it in the freezer, and honestly forgot about it for a week. When the… Read more »
