  • Sweet Potato & Avocado Bowl

    Sweet Potato & Avocado Bowl

    How is it that salads taste even better served in a bowl? This was a particularly good one that I made last week. Whole bulgur (my favourite grain!), roasted sweet potato wedges, sugar snaps, blueberries, avocado, green baby leaves, honeydew melon and a handful of almonds. I drizzled it with a tahini lemon dressing, and… Read more »


  • No Bake Mocha Brownie

    No Bake Mocha Brownie

    My friend @veggielation posted a drool-worthy picture of a raw mocha brownie with cashew cream, that I just had to try. I made a few adjustments from what I had at hand, and I really liked the result. I brought it to a birthday party too, and I dare say it was quite popular among… 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 »


  • Berry Tahini Porridge

    Berry Tahini Porridge

    Well, the title pretty much sums it up. I made rye porridge, but added 2 tbsp of sunflower seeds before cooking it, along with a handful of frozen blueberries and raspberries. I served it with a large dollop of tahini, blueberries and redcurrants (still have a box left in the freezer from this summer!), and… Read more »

  • Fried Rice with Sweet Potato

    Fried Rice with Sweet Potato

    Happy World Vegan Day! A year ago, I wouldn’t have thought I’d eat a fully plantbased diet and enjoying it so much! I really honestly don’t feel like I miss anything non-vegan. I love how easy it it to eat like this, and vegan food can be advanced and complex as well as super simple… Read more »


  • Kale & Hazelnut Salad with Tahini Drizzle

    Kale & Hazelnut Salad with Tahini Drizzle

    A flavourful green salad that stands for itself or as a side to oven roasted veggies. Slice four leaves of kale and remove the hard stems. Massage the kale for a few minutes with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and a large pinch of salt. Add steamed haricot verts, roasted hazelnuts and halved Cape… Read more »


  • Pad Thai

    Pad Thai

    Another Asian dish, this time the fantastic rice noodle wok Pad Thai. This one is inspired by @hannelenesvegetar, with great additions like red cabbage and edamame. I made a sesame tofu with lots of tahini in the marinade, which was great with this dish. I cheated and used store bought Pad Thai sauce (luckily I… Read more »
