Okra, harissa and spinach pie (vegan)

Hello! Happy Monday :). I love okra but I do not use them very often, I consider them somehow special (since they are not free) and when I cook them I want to make something as special as their taste. Since the inside of the okra has a very specific texture, I wanted to exploit […]

Leeks, spinach and beets pie (vegan)

I grew up eating vegetarian pies usually made with puff pastry and filled with spinach and other delights. I wanted to stick to my favorite filling, which is spinach and leeks and I used tofu to make it creamy and a trick to obtain the perfect leek pattern. This recipe is quite easy and quick […]

Oat and sweet potato patties (vegan gf)

Vegan and gluten free oat patties 💚 this is my favorite weekly meal, I have been eating variations of these for ages and even my husband who when we met a few years ago was suspicious of me and my “weird cereals” especially in patties is a huge fan of these. Oat is just magic!  […]

Floral lentil pie (vegan)

Hei, it’s picnic season! And it’s flower season 🙂 so why not put the best things that spring brings together? I made this pie using vegan mince, lentils and a bunch of flavours I love and the best and most reliable vegan shortcrust pastry ever and this pie is the result of it and I […]

Polenta with vegan ragù

Polenta is one of my favorite foods ever. There are regions in northern Italy where it is revered like a deity – and it is correct to do so. I remember my grandma telling me that when she was a child and they were very poor, they used to eat polenta every day and hand […]

Vegan butternut squash wellington

I have always been fascinated by the whole Wellington thing but never had one and never made one before. I think I had a mini vegan Wellington once and it was good but thankfully it was very mini, because it was heavy. So I decided to make my own version, first because I had an […]

Beetroot and Squash houndstooth tart (vegan)

Hello 🙂 I hope your week had a good start, or at least on okay one.  Today I am posting the recipe for this beetroot crust butternut squash savoury tart, which is a super healthy recipe and it is also very comforting.  I know I often overshare about my love for films, walks, cats etc, […]

All you can oat!

This post is related to my oatmeal patties post https://wordpress.com/post/cakefiles.com/237 , a recipe I developed based on one my mum used to make and that I love so much for a series of reasons: it’s awfully healthy, it’s incredibly tasty, it’s the MOST ADAPTABLE recipe ever. In this version I have added squash puree, changed […]

Chia, canapa and poppy seeds galette (vegan)

Despite I have the most fun baking sweet things, the vast majority of my meals are indeed savoury. Those of you who have been on these pages before know that I like a savoury quiche/pie/tart. it’s like with onigiri or other lunches whereby you have everything in one. It’s portable, so it was great when […]

Rainbow carrot and beetroot pie (vegan)

I love pies and tarts and quiches and I love decorating pie crust as you might have noticed! However sometimes you just want to have a more veggie forward meal, and you might have colorful carrots and beetroots (I have just received a bunch from @oddboxldn) so why not decorate the top with veggies rather […]
