PLANT BASED FOOD AND STORIES
Scordalia, what’s there for a vegan to not to like? Creamy mashed potatoes, beautiful scent of garlic and a good pour of virgin olive oil. Oh, how good is a slice of sourdough bread dipped in it? I first heard about Scordalia from my friend at Croatian blog Marina Kuharica (which means Mara’s Cookbook), where […]
My Grandma would never call this a roll. She would call it a rose. Aha, a rose. The roses I ate as a child were filled with walnuts, poppy or jam, or just raisins, spices and some butter. Anyhow. Since this roll is vegan, any kind of “breadish” dough will do. You can enrich it […]
Sataraš is a dish directly from my ancestors. I grew up with it, my Mom makes it, my Grandma made it, all of my Croatian family makes it. But it certanly is not only Croatian, because you can eat it in all nearby countries: Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Monte Negro, Macedonia. And they will […]
Butternuts are here, people! They came with the end of the summer, all shiny and brimming with sweet, juicy and healthy inside. I’m always amazed how they grow in my parent’s garden – needing care next to little – they just spread their vines and leaves frolicly untill the bright pumpkins finally show up to […]
Here comes the Chutney! Oh, I really love this Indian work of culinary, fruity art! Do you? I’m not a jammy kind of person (I’m not sure how this sounds but still, hehe) and more often than not I’ll opt for something savoury rather than sweet. But with all this beautiful, vibrant fruit I had […]
Don’t you just love nectarines? I do. I literally can’t stop eating them. I like them firm and not ripe at all. You know, when you take a bite and it kind of cracks. That’s my kind of nectarine. That’s my kind of any fruit, I guess. I eat fruit when it’s just about to […]
I’ve heard about Soparnik many times but didn’t make it till few months ago. And I can only blame myself for that, because it was eaten by the speed of the space rocket. But first things first. Soparnik is traditional Dalmatian dish, hundreds of years old. Or even older? The most famous and praised is […]
Now when is the best time to have a cup of tea? Always, I suppose. But if it’s a glass full of cool, refreshing and minty beverage you can have in your fridge standing by to your disposal and thurst relief? Now, of course! I’m all into the beverages this summer… have you tried my […]
I was affraid of cantaloupes as a child. Not because someone hit me in the head with it but in the nose. Not in the way you might think, but the scent would hit me hard everytime my Grandma cracked this yellow baseball open. So I ran. And my Grandma really loved cantaloupes and I […]
Oh, baking. Do you love baking? The scent of freshly baked bread coming softly and filling every corner of your home? I do. And if you are anything like me, then you’re gonna love this garlic bread. If you love bread, you’re gonna love it. We sometimes avoid garlic for obvious reason: you cannot just […]
