Something for fans of everything rich and savory. These crab-like artichoke cakes are full of flavor, rich, filling and briny. The vegan caper tartar sauce is fresh, crisp and creamy. Initially I made twice more of the sauce and it was overwhelming. The artichoke cakes are fluffy and moist and don’t require pretty much anything…

Vegan Nalisniki (Russian stuffed crepes)
Today I’m making one of the classic Russian breakfast dishes – vegan nalisniki or stuffed crepes. Originally they are stuffed with sweet cottage cheese and simple tofu works here perfectly. Make sure to add vanilla to cover off-soy taste of tofu. Also some lemon or lime zest will do the trick but I prefer to…

Another breakfast idea: crispy polenta toast with tofu and vegan cheezy sauce. Make polenta the night before so breakfast preparation will take only 5 minutes! Just fry polenta…
Baked vegan cheesecake
I must say I really dislike raw frozen vegan cheesecakes. They just don’t taste right. So when I’m making my own vegan cheesecake I aim to reach that super thick, creamy and decadent texture and taste that I used to adore. This baked vegan cheesecake is just amazing.

Not only is it incredibly easy to prepare, but it also boasts a lovely, silky texture that perfectly mimics…
Homemade chicken-style seitan
I’m going to share with you the recipe for amazing firm chicken-style seitan. It is not rubbery or spongy. This seitan has an even texture with small gluten streaks. To reach this texture, you have to work a bit harder than usual. These nice streaks will develop only after quite long and aggressive kneading. The…
Vegan Olivier salad (Vegan Soviet salad)
Vegan Olivier salad, also known as Soviet salad, is an ultimate Soviet classic. It is the main dish on almost every table during the winter holidays – Christmas and New Year. This recipe, even though it’s vegan, is the most classic version ever. Pickled cucumber, canned green peas and sausage – this is what makes…
Tofu pancakes (Vegan syrniki)
These tofu pancakes are a vegan variation of syrniki – Ukrainian thick pancakes made of cottage cheese. The Veganniki are mild, fluffy, and easier to digest. I highly suggest coconut oil for frying, it gives them an amazing, delicate flavour. This recipe is very close to the original. But if you like to make it…
