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 do not have buckwheat flour at home, you can make …
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 with proteins, accompanies perfectly your veggie bowls or your falafels. …

They are the traditional taste of Middle East cuisine, coming probably from Egypt. They went along as street food or meat substitute all over the world. They are usually served into Arabic soft wrap or kind of tortilla. You can find them in any organic food store, combined with Mediterranean salad and hummus or sauce with tahini, the famous falafel …
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 a matter of fact, it is a seed or cereal …
