Last summer I made my first chia jam, with freshly picked Finnish strawberries. If you haven't made yet chia jam, now is the best time to give it a try, when we are surrounded with the abundance of berries and summer fruits.

Quinoa Flakes And Multi Seeds Crackers
Yesterday I run out of fresh bread juuuust when a nice selection of cheeses was waiting in my fridge. No time to bake new bread before dinner (and I stopped buying gluten free bread long time ago), so I turned to my favorite crackers recipe. These gluten free crackers are quick to do and feature quinoa flakes and a mix of seeds: sunflower seeds, ...
Fluffy Vegan Coconut Macaroons or ‘Rochers Coco’
Sour, bitter, sweet, salty... In few days the French school where my son attends will organize the 'Days of Taste' (Journées du Goût).

Crusty Eggplant, Beetroot Hummus & Avocado Pita {Vegan}

Roasted Purple Cauliflower & Sweet Potato With Tahini Lime Sauce
Have you ever tried purple cauliflower? I’ve come to truly enjoy cauliflower the day I roasted it in my oven. Purple cauliflowers are now popping up in our local markets, and I had to get one of those pretty veggies. Roasted sweet potato and cauliflower pair well as a colorful side dish, topped with sprouts and a flavorful tahini lime sauce. ...
Vegan Coconut Panna Cotta & Dark Chocolate Pudding Verrines
I promised myself it would be a lazy Saturday, and I would prepare a simple dessert for tonight's dinner with friends. Coconut panna cotta is an easy dessert, so is dark chocolate pudding. Of course I couldn’t choose which one to do, so why not do both, and pair them in layered verrines? ...
