I assume that many are familiar with this type of dish from Indian restaurants – but unlike here, the dish is made with chicken in most cases. If you don’t want to eat meat, this one here is a great alternative. This delicious Butter Cauliflower with Rice (aka. Vegan Butter Chicken) tastes just like the »original«, but it’s all vegetarian ;P So if you want to treat yourself to something delicious after work, you should definitely take a closer look at this recipe.
Stews are something that is normally served during the colder months of the year – but that’s not the case for us here. We love delicious stews all year round. Like this simple Vegan Lentil & Potato Stew. It is super easy to prepare and quick on the table. The perfect meal if you don’t want to work a lot on a weeknight to prepare dinner. We all feel the same in this kind of situation – the quicker, the better ;P
I bet you’ve heard about Buffalo Wings, right?! These (sometimes) quite spicy chicken wings are very popular in the US. They made it to Germany as well and are loved by many, even though buffalo wing sauce is still hard to find in German supermarkets. If you want to make this meat-free alternative here, my delicious Buffalo Cauliflower with Ranch Dip, you will probably have to ask the internet for help to find hot sauce and order the sauce online. Or, hopefully, you have a supermarket round the corner that has a corner with American products ;P
Cookies are great. You can enjoy them as a sweet snack during the day or even as a replacement for a small breakfast. If you are not using too much sugar for your cookies, they can be a reasonably »healthy« snack/meal. These vegan Banana Oats Walnut Cookies are definitely healthier than other cookies… something that is easy to say if you look at most other cookie recipes out there ;P
A delicious vegetable soup, like this simple vegan Minestrone with Swiss Chard & Broccoli, is a great dish in summer and winter. In Germany, Swiss Chard is in season from May to October, so winter is not the »ideal« time for this soup – but thanks to imports from Southern Europe, you can prepare this soup almost all year round ;)
There are a lot of »tofu friends« and »tofu haters« out there. I would say it’s a mix of 50:50 ;) Some don’t like it, because it is often associated with a vegan diet (and that might not work for them) – others only experienced tasteless and soggy tofu so far and don’t know how good it can be. Both groups should try this (Vegan) Orange Tofu with Rice. It is easy to prepare and really delicious!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
