Rocket-Persimmon-Salad with Vegan “Goats”-Cheese

10. November 2017 No Comments

Loveliest vegan friends! As you probably can already imagine, in a second I’ll show you a vegan dish cooked – or rather whipped up – by me. You probably already had suspected that regarding the title and/or the post’s picture. Oh well, I’ve just extra articulated again then for you 😉

I came across this dish when I was looking for inspiration for my recipe of vegan cashew whipped cream (coming soon!). As soon as you are on any recipe pages, somewhere there are always popping up these other recipes, like next to/under/on top of the actual recipe, which apparently could be of your interest. And they are always right…oh I wonder how they know me so well 😉 ! What immediately caught my attention was this vegan salad with persimmons, rocket and feta cheese. Obviously I clicked on it aaaaaaand here we are – my mouth was watering. The problem with the whole story: the recipe was with Indian cucumbers (has anyone ever seen that before?) and feta cheese (dairy – ugh!) and – in my assessment – it also was a little bit boring. But I wouldn’t be a food blogger if that wasn’t the perfect template for a new vegan salad creation à la Sanny, would I? You can see my version of this great salad right here:

Homemade Chai Latte

9. November 2017 No Comments

Who else is freezing their a** off? Who else also associates autumn/ November/coldness with a delicious … mulled wine? Yes, I’m cold and yes, I’m absolutely thinking about mulled wine right now. However, this post has nothing to do with mulled wine. But with the other hot beverage everyone is thinking of in this cold weather: Chai Latteeeeeeeee. Someone once told me that “chai” translated actually means “tea”. Did not check that. But Starbuck’s “Chai Tea Latte” then would actually be called “tea tea milk”. Well, doesn’t matter anyway. What I’m trying to say is that I love Chai Latte and I need it in my life. I could drink it every day about seven times. This becomes a problem in reality: currently I would have to spend 21,70 £ to get a Grande Chai Latte seven times a day at Starbucks. Not exactly the money I have. So, I then – since I’m a super smart person – thought to myself: I might just make my own Chai Latte! Yay!

Vegan Chicken Wings

31. October 2017 No Comments

Who else misses chicken as a vegan? I know, a lot of people say it is „weird“ to make recipes that look or taste like chicken, beef or pork. The thing is though that a lot of us haven’t stopped eating meat because we think it tastes gross – we stopped because of ethical reasons, to save the animals, environment and better our healths. I have to admit that from time to time I still crave the taste of meaty foods. So that’s why I tried to find recipes that give me that satisfaction but also are – obivously – cruelty free but just as delicious (if not even better) than „normal“ meat. I’ve come across a lot of amazing vegan recipes and will show you one of my favourites today:

Are we humans designed to eat meat?

20. October 2017 No Comments

As a lot of you probably know, I have been eating vegan almost exclusively for quite some time. Normally, it is not difficult for me to eat like that at all because the vegan diet is incredibly delicious and easy to follow, but now and then it still happens that I feel these cravings for meat and sadly give in to them from time to time. In the last couple of days, I once again asked myself why I still sometimes have this craving for meat, although I completely stand behind veganism and its principles.
