Smoked Tofu and Paprika Potato Stew

I don’t often come across smoked tofu, but when I do, it adds a depth of aroma and flavour to any dish, especially when paired with smoked paprika. If smoke is not a favoured taste, feel free to use regular, firm tofu and switch up the spices for this recipe. The Ras el hanout adds… Continue reading Smoked Tofu and Paprika Potato Stew

Za’atar Lemon Tahini White Beans and Potatoes

Summer Berry Preserves

For those of you who want to buy berries on a budget and also do not have a freezer, I got you. I have found myself in this predicament, in which the most economical berries are sold frozen, but that means I must use the whole bag immediately since I don’t have the storage facilities… Continue reading Summer Berry Preserves

The vegetables are hearty, and the wheat gives a nice texture and added nutrition. The humble ingredients together with the array of spices make this soup… Continue reading Borscht

Tofu Scramble

This is my take on the famed tofu scramble. The recipe is very much a baseline for other flavors. For example, the dish can easily be turned into a masala scramble by adding spice blends and a bit of nut milk. That has been a favorite of mine lately. Try it. Test it. Tell me… Continue reading Tofu Scramble

Curried Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup

I am still holding onto the last bits of winter! I love the sun coming out, but it is still cold enough for soup. I love squash and every spring I lament that I did not eat enough in winter. The red lentils add a bit of robustness to the dish, and it is a… Continue reading Curried Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup

Kimchi Chickpeas

I have had this breakfast almost every day for the last six months. It has staying power. High in protein and probiotics and very filling, this one is a winner for me. I do use a kimchi sriracha product, but I have instructions here to make your own if you do not have any on… Continue reading Kimchi Chickpeas
