Healthy Middle Eastern Cardamom Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

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 [...]

Salted Caramel Tahini Cheesecake (Vegan & Gluten-free) – Video

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 [...]

Red Pesto Roasted Veggies (Video) – Gluten-free & Vegan

Red Pesto Roasted Veggies I can eat roasted veggies all day. Roasting gives them so much more depth in flavour and you can add all kinds of spices to make them taste even more scrumptious.  One of the things I love adding to roasted veggies is pesto, more specifically red pesto - which is made using sun-dried tomatoes. It's something I always try to have in my fridge since I use it in so many ways turn a dish from average or even boring to 'I can't stop eating this' good!  If you're a vegan or your diet is mainly plant-based like mine, pesto is probably already a staple in your household. It's definitely a staple in mine! Its uses range form adding to pasta, as [...]

Pea Patties + Beetroot & Carrot Salad (Vegan & Gluten-free)

I can't stop making these pea patties. I've been so busy the last few weeks that I'm exhausted by dinner time and I just want to whip up something quick and easy. I seem to be making the same things over and over again, but when they taste as good as good as these patties I really don't mind, and the hubby doesn't complain either...

Mexican Bean Rice with Salsa & Guacamole

Mexican Bean Rice with Salsa & Guacamole I grew up eating rice, lots and lots of rice! We literally had it everyday for lunch with some kind of tomato gravy/stew based dish. By the time I moved to England, I was so fed up of rice and never ate it out of choice.  However, since I've cut out gluten, I find myself having strong cravings for rice, and after ten years of not eating much of it, I can finally appreciate it now!  I only cook brown rice at home, BUT I do still eat white rice when I'm out or at a relatives house...etc. Even though white rice does taste better, I love how hearty and filling brown rice is. You've probably [...]

Raw Oreos Recipe (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Raw Oreos Recipe (Vegan & Gluten-free) This recipe is one of my favourite cookie recipes, along with my date cookies and chocolate tahini cookies. The difference with these is that they're raw/no-bake and are best eaten chilled straight out of the fridge, so they're a really nice cool treat during summer, but are still rich and indulgent.  This recipe makes about 15 raw "oreos". Usually when I eat cookies, I simply can't stop eating them. I keep saying to myself 'OK, just one more and then that's it!' but end up reaching out for more anyway, which is a problem :P But because these raw oreos are quite rich, I feel satisfied after just eating one (sometimes two!) but no more than that. So they should last [...]
