Buckwheat Pancakes with Forest Fruits

They are vegan, gluten-free, very tasteful, and amazingly filling! I recalled how easy it is to make them in a gluten-free workshop of my favorites Vegan Fairies! They are a very good idea as a family breakfast or an afternoon sweet temptation with low fat and few calories. If you

Beetroot or Avocado hummus

I love chickpeas and all of its variations, from the classic Greek soup which I have grown up with to the more modern or ‘fingered’ ones.  Hummus is for the Middle East what tzatziki and fish-roe mousse are for Greeks. It is a famous appetizer of the Mediterranean cuisine, loaded

Millet: Not only food for canaries!!

As a vegetarian for the last three years, I have met and tasted many new nutriments during my seeking for plant-based sources of protein. Millet is one I love to use! This is funny as I have known it as the canaries’ diet, like most of you, I believe! As

Vegan Blueberry Muffins

Blueberries and all the berries, in general, are considered as one of the most nutrient fruits for human health, while they gain one of the top places in the list with the superfoods. They are high in nutrient ingredients, whilst they are poor in calories, carbs, and fat. They are

Red Lentils Soup

The red lentils soup is ideal for the cold winter days. Red lentils do not need overnight soaking. They get boiled in almost 20 minutes and make a chyme quickly. They have an impressive coral colour that becomes yellow when they are cooked. We should add whatever can give colour
