Puy Lentil Tabbouleh-ish Salad
Well ok this salad is not exactly tabbouleh, it is just inspired by it to a great extent. And it is delicious!
Warm Artichoke And Spinach Dip With Cheese And Hot Peppers
I am chewing a stomach tablet right now helping with pain because I ate this dip. I know that I shouldn’t have eaten something with hot peppers. But I had to taste it of course and then I couldn’t stop having more than just a bit to taste because it was so good! Ahh, sacrificing my stomach hasn’t been such a pleasure for a while…
Vegan Monday: Chocolate Hummus – Yupp, I Just Said Chocolate

Vegan Monday: Cannellini Bean Spread With Garlic And Rosemary
This recipe is easy! So easy that I didn’t even put photos of all the steps. It’s one of those “let’s put all the ingredients in a food processor and be done with it” kind of spreads.
Steamed Kohlrabi Salad With Sumac – And Many Other Ingredients
Kohlrabi is a quite foreign vegetable for me. I’ve only just used it once, when I did a catering gig 2 years ago, for a friend’s Karonkka (PhD defense dinner). He was a friend originally from South India and I wanted to cook something authentic for him, so I made Bisi Bele Bath – a vegetarian warm dish. That was when I used kohlrabi one and only time.
Vegan Monday: White Bean And Spinach Dip With Flaxseed Oil

Vegan Monday: Mom’s Potato Salad
Here is a salad that has always been one of the staple food in my mother’s feasts. Or how I remember it. Because apparently she also puts tomatoes, but this very much green and yellow colours were always the only version I remembered, so I made it like that, providing a little hint of red with chili pepper flakes.
Haydari: Yogurt, Feta And Mint Dip – Perfect Mezze!
I think my first encounter with haydari was in one of those raki-mezze places in the back alleys of Beyoglu/Istanbul.
