Tomato and Mushroom Tom Yum (Thai Soup)

By Sofia

Tom Yum ( a spicy and fragrant thai soup) is one of my favourite dishes ever. I recently bought the Mildred’s Cookbook and I thought I’d try out their Tomato and Mushroom Tom Yum – it turned out with a lot of depth and flavour, totally delicious!

I followed their recipe very closely and just added a little bit more chilli (I love hot food so if you don’t just add less) and lemongrass as I like my Tom Yum super fragrant and lovely.

Basically you make a broth and then add the chopped tomatoes and (cooked) mushrooms to it – it’s very easy.

Sometimes I like to have Tom Yum with rice which makes a nice light meal.

Yummy Black Beans

By Sofia

I absolutely love black beans, I can eat a full bowl of them.

Like chickpeas I think it makes such a huge difference to use dried beans rather than tinned. It’s totally worth it the cooking time. Cook it with love and the results will make even a meat lover drool. If you don’t have the time to soak and cook the dried beans simply skip the first two steps.

Go south american style and serve them with fried plantains, rice and salad.

Vegan Pad Thai

By Sofia

Pad Thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food and at casual local eateries in Thailand.

I’ve had the most amazing Pad Thais in Thailand and therefore it took me a few trials to cook a Vegan Pad Thai that I was happy with. I experimented with a few “authentic” recipes until I found the one which resembled the most with my favourite type of Pad Thai.

Veganakopita (Vegan Spanakopita)

By Sofia

This recipe is an old favourite of mine and it’s been a long overdue addition to the blog.

Veganakopita is my vegan take on the popular Greek snack Spanakopita. I replace the feta with a mixture made out of cashew nuts and I use both parsley and dill to bring out some lovely flavours.
