Walnut Tomato Spelt Bread

This recipe is a variation on my recipe for Olive Tomato Bread, I just made a few alterations to the ingredients. I love this bread - it’s very satisfying and packed with flavor. Spelt flour and walnuts gave the bread a very nice texture, and I developed a topping that really makes sunflower seeds stick [...]

Walnut Tofu Quiche

We baked this pie Sunday evening, when neither of us felt like having real dinner. I often make savory pies that are based on a puréed tofu filling, but haven’t thought about walnuts in this context before. Their deep flavor paired perfectly with the sweetness of the fried onions and the tangy lemon juice.

Chocolate Rum Cake

We made this cake for a birthday party on Saturday. The batter recipe is a slightly adapted version of a recipe from Post Punk Kitchen. The cake was moist and had a very nice texture, one of those creations that make everyone ask “How can this be vegan?”. Someone even declared how he’d have [...]

Plum Walnut Cake

This is a nice warming cake I baked on Saturday, when it started snowing for the first time this winter.

The batter is sort of bread-like, I have never baked anything with both yeast and baking powder before. The inspiration came from the Pflaumenkuchen recipe at Vegalicious. My plums weren’t completely ripe, so I decided to [...]
