Roasted aubergine with miso and tahini paste
Aubergines have always been on my plate since I was a kid. We had lots in our garden in Rome and my mum used to cook them all the time: parmigiana, fritters, grilled and so on… I hope to share all of her recipes here one day…But for now, let’s make something a bit more […]

This quick and juicy watermelon salad will keep you fresh and full during the summer months and it’s the perfect dish to bring on a picnic! It’s quick to make – it literally takes 15 minutes – and it’s also fresh, delicious and nutritious! We’ve used fermented tofu here as we love its natural taste […]
Pasta e ceci, ciciari, scesci…la ricetta di mamma Rita
Mentre facevo un po’ di ricerca per capire le origini della pasta e ceci, devo dire che ci ho capito ben poco. Credo sia un piatto della tradizione romana, alcune ricette prevedono le patate ed il sugo, altre il sugo ma non le patate, altre le patate ma non il sugo…Insomma per farvela breve, l’unica […]
Creamy and cheesy vegan pesto
Making vegan pesto at home is one of the quickest and simplest things you can do. Plus, you know what you eat! No added oils and no weird ingredients. Just avocado, pine nuts, spinach and a few more things. Traditional Italian pesto calls for Parmigiano and Pecorino cheese but being vegan we have replaced both […]
Patani e piparieddi
Da quando ho deciso di rimettere su il blog, sto traducendo tutte le ricette e mi chiedo spesso: ma chi me lo ha fatto fare? Vabbè, per fortuna ci sono i Backstreetboys a tenermi compagnia. Dopo sta breve lamentela, passiamo ai fatti. Questa ricetta è tipica della Calabria e ovunque andrete ne troverete una variante: […]
How to make vegan lasagne with seitan ragu
These vegan lasagne with seitan ragu are great for parties and Sunday lunches with friends. The good thing about lasagne is that they always taste delicious and if you make too many you can always freeze them, microwave and enjoy later on. Before we start though, I have a question: it’s lasagna or lasagne? Singular […]

I know it’s Spring, but sometimes you just want to chill out a bit with a warm soup, a book and some toasted bread, right? It’s currently raining in London and we’ve got lots of reading to do..so what about a hearty mushroom soup for dinner? The recipe is very simple and what you’ll need […]
Hummus con un sacco di limone
Ho recentemente scoperto che il mio body type yogico è di tipo ‘pitta‘: il che significa che c’ho il fuoco dentro e che i cibi freschi e aspri, oltre ad essere i più adatti da mangiare, sono anche quelli che mi piacciono di più. Questo finalmente giustifica la mia passione per il limone e l’aceto: […]
Morning Chai protein smoothie
This smoothie tastes like chai latte and I can’t get enough of it. It’s filled with cinnamon, flax seeds, almond butter and much more…I mean it’s just delicious. We’ve used hemp seeds protein here but feel free to use any flavour: vanilla and chocolate also work really well! I like my smoothie to be very […]
Vegan and keto pad thai with shirataki noodles
I love pad thai, it’s one of my favourite dishes! I still remember when I went to Thailand for the first time: it was 2016 and I was so amazed by the flavours and the taste of food and pad thai was actually one of the things I ate every day during my holiday! The […]
Baba Ganoush zozzissimo
Se non avete mai preparato del babaganoush, allora siete proprio dei babbei. Se invece conoscete almeno un po’ la cucina araba-turca-mediorientale, allora sapete di cosa sto parlando. Sì, parlo proprio di lui: il cremosissimo mix di melanzane e tahini e millemila altre cose, quello che quando lo preparate sembra sia esplosa la cucina. Proprio così, […]
Tempeh skewers with ginger sesame sauce
Tempeh is one of our favourite foods. It’s high in protein and fibre, low in carbs and contains no sugar at all: it’s a great food for diabetics or anyone who’s looking to watch their carbs (hello keto peeps!). Tempeh is also an excellent source of magnesium, B vitamins, phosphorus, and manganese and offers you […]
Gram flour frittata with leek and red peppers
Frittata was one of those dishes my mum used to make when she had to empty the fridge 😀 Frittata could actually contain anything, from cheese to leftover veggies, fresh herbs from the garden and so on, even pasta from the day before (if you haven’t tried it, you should!). Today’s frittata follows the same […]
Ceci ripassati in padella con curry e rosmarino
Da brava vegana quale sono, ho sempre dei ceci in cucina. Che siano secchi o in scatola, non mancano mai. Ci sono dei periodi in cui li mangio tutti i giorni, devo dire che tra tutti i legumi sono forse i miei preferiti sia per il sapore che per la loro consistenza. In pratica ci […]
Stuffed tomatoes with brown rice and tofu
Stuffed tomatoes are a classic roman dish and I used to have it all the time when I was in Italy. My mum used to make them with white basmati rice and potatoes while our version has fewer carbs and more proteins. We have replaced white rice with brown rice as it’s more suitable for […]
