This soup is the queen of cold-season lunches or dinners. It's comforting, hearty and warming. I love it not only because it's served hot but also because it’s packed with a variety of warming spices. Plus, pumpkin is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates that will give you energy for the rest of the day. Ingredients 0.25-0.5 of pumpkin (depending on the size; if it's large, a quarter will be enough) 2-3 cloves of garlic 0.25 of an onion Approximately 3 cm of ginger ro

This traditional Italian dish is a comforting home-cooked meal that has been cherished by generations. Depending on the region, Italians make gnocchi with pumpkins, boiled potatoes or simply with flour. For me, these gnocchi, especially when made with boiled potatoes instead of pumpkin, remind me of a beloved Lithuanian childhood dish - potato dumplings. In Lithuania, we would serve them with a butter sauce or sour cream, while in Italy they are often paired with Parmesan and

This chocolate cake is perfect for chocolate enthusiasts, featuring a rich chocolate sponge cake, chocolate ganache and toasted almonds. It's a classic treat made entirely from 100% plant-based ingredients and is gluten-free. Ideal for birthdays of both children and adults, as well as winter celebrations like Christmas and New Year's, or simply for those weekends when you're craving something truly chocolatey.

This soup reminds me so much of my childhood home and my mother's warmth. Of course, my mom didn't actually make Italian minestrone soup. She made a slightly different version, but similar in some ways – “chicken broth with vegetables and pasta”. I bet your mom made something like that too? It was the kind of “healing” soup that was perfect when you were sick or on chilly autumn or winter evenings after school, warming both body and soul. To recreate a plant-based version of

Lasagna is probably the dish that won my husband's heart at the beginning of our relationship :)). It was his all-time favorite meal. Since we switched to a plant-based diet, I hadn't even attempted to create a plant-based version of this iconic meat dish - until I gained the right knowledge on how to make a delicious alternative to traditional lasagna. I had a few recipes in mind, and after making the first one, it was recognized and praised by the whole family. I'm excited

During the warm months, the easiest way to prepare a vegetable-based, balanced and satisfying meal is with a Buddha bowl. However, in the colder months, for me, it's all about curry (or simply referred to as curry). This is a wonderful dish that is aromatic and warming, while also allowing us to enjoy the vegetables our bodies need. This cauliflower, carrot and tofu curry is very easy and quick to make and it's loved by both adults and children. It’s a frequent choice for lun

Here's another recipe for making delicious tofu cubes that you can add to your Buddha bowls, grain bowls, salads, curries or even soups. Tofu is an amazing, rich source of plant-based protein that provides all the essential amino acids our bodies need. These cubes (which can also be cooked as patties) will enrich your favorite dishes with a wealth of nutrients. Ingredients 400 g of tofu (plain, without flavor) 2 tablespoons of corn flour Spices: salt, pepper, paprika powder I

These waffles are a wonderful, nutritious and comforting choice for cold autumn or winter weekends. This recipe could easily find a place on your festive brunch menu. In October, we make these waffles quite often. I usually prepare a double batch because sometimes we end up arguing over who ate how much! You can enjoy these waffles both sweet - topped with fruits, berries, honey or yogurt - and savory - with vegetables, hummus or avocado. Ingredients 500 g of pumpkin puree 15
