Vegan in Suzhou
I visited Suzhou last month with course mates on a landscape architecture study trip. Beautiful rustic place – black and white houses lined with canals crossed by petite stone bridges. Suzhou’s heritage love their gardens and plants, evident from the famous Suzhou gardens to the numerous potted plants that dot residential streets. Some of…

A peek at vegan food in Beijing
Recently I visited Beijing with the family. Due to the short time we stayed we didn’t venture out in search of veg restaurants, so we braved a couple of non-veg restaurants and asked for vegan food. And it wasn’t a problem at all when we communicated clearly! What we had was delicious, refined and eye-opening.…

Salted Caramel Butter – No sugar used!
Have been meaning to make these since a long time ago, to add another spreadable condiment to my repertoire (besides peanut sauce). Now it’s the holidays, finally! 🙂 Have seen lots of recipes which calls for boiling a huge amount of sugar. That isn’t easy because sugar burns easily, and of course, not that…

Dumplings, a Lunar New Year Tradition (non-recipe post)

Usually kneading the…

Fried tofu and veggie spring rolls
As with all stuffing-wrapped-in-skin foods, spring rolls are quite labour intensive. The good thing is it can be made ahead and kept frozen for months. An excellent “emergency” food, or when you’re just craving for crispy, savoury foods. The skin can be purchased from the frozen section of supermarkets. Makes about 15. You’ll need: 1…

Simple mini no-bake lemon cream cake
A no-bake cake that is creamy, melt in your mouth texture that is similar to ice cream, made tangy with lemon juice. With a salted hazelnut and pistachio base to balance the sweet and creamy cashew lemon layer! Topped with cacao nibs and cinnamon for an extra crunch. Raw desserts are so much easier to…

Banana and peanut butter pie
No baking needed! Make your own peanut butter for best results. Adapted from Jonsi & Alex’s Arkansas Apple Pie from their Good Heart Cookbook (go download it, it’s free and full of cool raw vegan recipes) I used banana instead and lesser dates as I don’t like very sweet foods. For the crust: 1…

Homemade peanut butter
Why make your own peanut butter when you can buy it for couple of dollars? I get questions like these a lot. Firstly, as someone who grew up on homemade food, I can assure you that flavours of food made in factories pales greatly in comparison to food made with care and love. Secondly, packaged…
