Dhal, dahl, dal, daal



Dhal, dahl, dal or daal is a kind of lentil stew commonly served in South Asian countries such as India and Nepal. Dal Bhat (literally: lentils and rice) is a staple food in these countries. - And for those worrying about protein intake in a vegan diet: Dhal is a ready source of proteins due to the lentils!

vegan thai mini cakes



Pancakes have become a weekly staple for me. My boyfriend and I have this tradition where we make a special breakfast on Sundays. It's almost always pancakes, and this time it's chewy Banana Coconut Pancakes! They are called kanom paeng jee or pang jee in Thai, you could say they are grilled coconut mini cakes, and they are part of my "Thai cuisine" blog series, where I recreate meals from my 2 week vacation in Thailand (so if you have any suggestions for other Thai dishes to recreate, let me know!). 

For those on a gluten-free path, pancakes can be easily made with a gluten-free substitute, such as coconut flour, almond flour, hazelnut flour, buckwheat flour, even chestnut flour, or - in this case - rice flour and shredded coconut. Let's get started!

Iced tea is a summer drink par excellence! Unfortunately, most varieties available at the supermarket are rich in calories and sugar (up to 15 sugar cubes per litre!!), as well as many artificial flavourings and preservatives. In other words: tooth decay, obesity and diabetes.

This was the first time I made iced tea, and it's actually so easy and quick to make that it's not gonna be the last time either, for sure. Making iced tea is endlessly adaptable: you can brew it light or strong, drink it unsweetened or sweetened, make it kid-friendly or grown-up (see notes at the end). 

Once you've got the basics down, you can start getting creative - just follow the simple steps below.

Quick backstory: This dairy-free Mousse au Chocolat was actually made for a Murder Mystery Dinner party – set in the Roaring Twenties in Prague – that a few of my nerdy friends and I threw last week. This recipe was a huge success – and nobody could've guessed that this was vegan, nor that the base for this creamy, fluffy dessert dream was coconut (milk)! 

And it can be made entirely without chocolate! 

Say what?!

Oh, sweet childhood memories! 

This is the first time i made these cinnamon bread rolls - they are basically soft, sweet buns, sort of like milk rolls but with cinnamon flavour. They are perfect for a sleepy Sunday breakfast, as part of an Easter or Ostara brunch, or to bring along with you to school, work, university, kindergarten even, as they are very child-friendly. And did I mention? So soft and good!

Man, it's been too long since I made my own plant milk! So far I've made almond milk (my favourite) and rice milk, so it was time for some fresh, homemade oat milk this time. And it costs less than 10 cent per litre, making it way cheaper than horrifyingly cheap cow's milk!
