Easy vegan cherry ‘cheesecake’ recipe (nut-free!)
Even though this isn’t a food blog, occasionally I do get so enthusiastic about ‘something food’ that I want to share it. This time it’s a vegan (no-)cheesecake recipe that I made up myself! Of course, I didn’t invent cheesecakes or vegan varieties thereof, but I did spot the possibility of creating a vegan one…

Canola Corn Bread
This fluffy yellow ‘canola corn bread’ may as well be called a cake, but then there would have been too many Cs. To make it, I used a corn bread recipe from one of the many cookbooks named ‘cooking vegan’ (Veganistisch koken by Parragon Books LTD). The main ingredient is corn flour, the others are…

Mung Bean Soup with Roasted Kale
I was inspired to make a mung bean soup by this recipe for Healing Mung Bean Soup of Plants and Balance. How could I not? The recipe title really makes you feel as if you’re doing something right. The mung beans had been present for some time; earlier I had only used part of the…
