A delicious zingy and fruity cake that's perfect for summer. Vegan, gluten-free and healthy enough to be enjoyed for breakfast!
Vegan Tahini Popsicles I'm afraid I might be a little late in sharing this recipe since it seems the sun has decided to retire after a couple of weeks of glorious weather! But I'm one of those people who can eat ice cream any time of the year. It always seems like the perfect light and refreshing after dinner dessert. If you haven't noticed already, a lot of my recent recipes have been based around tahini. I just can't get enough of the stuff! And since my Salted Caramel Tahini Cheesecake was such a hit, I just had to create another tahini treat. (and I have a few more on the way!). These vegan tahini popsicles are so creamy, rich and taste so good! Dipped in homemade [...]
Have you noticed that whenever you make 'healthy' cookies, they tend to be soft not crunchy? most healthy cookies I've seen are usually the soft variety, which is fine. I love cookies in any form, but every now and then I do crave a good crunchy cookie (or biscuit as we call it here in the UK!) ...
What I’m about to share with you is the best vegan and gluten-free pizza recipe I’ve ever made! It’s so full of amazing flavours that you won’t even notice the fact that it’s missing cheese. I know most people wouldn’t consider a pizza a real pizza unless it’s topped with cheese, but for those of us who can’t eat cheese, this is a seriously good pizza alternative!
Every time I post a recipe that incorporates chocolate and orange, so many of you tell me it's one of your favourite flavour combinations. So it only made sense that I create more chocolate orange desserts!
For those who don't know, Eid Al Fitr is a celebration that marks the end of the month of fasting (Ramadan), It's like the Muslim version of Christmas. A time to spend with loved ones accompanied by lots of yummy traditional food and desserts...
Healthy Middle Eastern Cardamom Cookies Growing up in the Middle East meant I got the chance to enjoy plenty of desserts flavoured with cardamom. I love it so much that I can safely say it's my favourite spice. The hubby on the other side, hates cardamom, so I don't get to use it as much as I would like to. However, with Eid (the festival of breaking of the fast) fast approaching, I really wanted to create a Middle Eastern dessert, something that I grew up eating during this time. Last year I created a healthy, vegan and gluten-free version of the most popular Iraqi cookie - Kleicha, or date rolls/date filled cookies and they were a big hit! This year, I wanted to [...]
Do you have a jar of tahini in your cupboard that you bought to make homemade hummus but you're left with a jar that's still 3/4 way full and have no idea what to do with it? I'm here to tell you that you can do so much more with tahini than just as an addition to hummus.
Salted Caramel Tahini Cheesecake Who can resist salted caramel anything? Especially when it's full of healthy fats and fibre while being both vegan AND gluten-free! Not to mention it's in the form of a cheesecake. Are you drooling yet? This is by far the best 'raw' dessert I've ever tried. It has just the right amount of sweetness without being over the top, sickly sweet. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Tahini and dates are one of the best flavour combinations EVER! It's like the Middle Eastern equivalent of peanut butter & jelly. Of course me being biased I think tahini and dates tastes better, but each to their own, right :P To make it super smooth and creamy, I [...]
If you’ve followed my blogging journey from the start, you’ll probably remember that I used to use whey protein powder in a lot of my desserts and baking. It was a fun way to add protein and flavour into recipes while keeping the calories low...
