In the wintertime, I start my days with a shot of this delicious syrup. Elderberries are packed with vitamins & antioxidants and help you boost your immune system. The lovely spices add warmth and their delicious flavours of course. This recipe makes enough for 1...
This vegan golden Borscht is packed with beautiful veggies, it is nourishing and comforting, and for some reason it makes me feel nostalgic, even though I did not grow up eating Borscht specifically. Both my mom and my grandma make an amazing tangy Kubbeh soup with...

Some people call this Coconut Bacon, but since I have never had real bacon, I have nothing to compare it to… What I do know, is that I love this crunchy, smokey yet a little sweet, delicious coconut – I use it in wraps & sandwiches, on top of mac &...
This recipe is based on my mom’s stone fruit cake. She has been making this cake for us since I was a kid, and to this day, the aroma of cinnamon and sugar caramelizing on top of the fruit, then the first bite into this cake, it all brings up so many lovely memories,...
I am always looking for new vessels for hummus and other dips.. I absolutely love crackers, chips and everything in between. These crackers are quick to make, are healthy and nutritious, packed with different seeds, and if you feel creative, you can easily add...
