This is a healthy, filling, flavourful, rich and gourmet veggie burger recipe that will satisfy all your burger cravings and make a perfect plant-based option for your summer grill parties or barbecues.

Roasted Artichoke & Spring Pea Risotto (Vegan + GF)

This is a very easy, healthy and light risotto recipe you can make all throughout the year but mainly during Spring when artichokes and spring peas are in season. I like to think of this one as a gourmet Easter special to be served as a main or a side for your Easter brunch or dinner. Even though the recipe uses simple and readily available ingredients, the "gourmet" feel comes from a well balanced combination of herby, zesty and nutty flavours. When choosing artichokes, it's

Vegan Red Wine & Mushroom Gravy

This is definitely one of my favourite go-to recipes when I'm introducing plant-based cooking to a crowd who isn't familiar with it. For a very long time, a plant based diet was thought or expected to be tasteless, unsatisfying, complicated or that it required crazy expensive ingredients or replacement products to taste good. Things are now changing and there is a real shift in perspective when it comes to plant-based cooking thanks to so many amazing chefs, food bloggers and

Orange and Root Vegetable Stew

At first, this recipe was destined to be a blood orange recipe but the blood oranges I bought let me down by turning out to be pretty regular oranges with little speckles of red in between. Fortunately, they tasted very similar to blood oranges so instead of succumbing to failure, I decided to go ahead and use them for this recipe and I'm really glad I did. To put it briefly, this is a delicious, easy, mediterranean inspired and plant-based vegetable dish cooked in orange jui

Classic French Ratatouille with Butter Toasted Orzo

This French ratatouille with butter toasted orzo is a combination you'll definitely want to add in your arsenal of delicious recipes. Ratatouille is a stew that doesn't rely on cheese, butter, cream or meat to be comforting. That's why, I find this to be the perfect comfort food for both winter and summer months. Both of these dishes require common ingredients and they're very easy to make. While the orzo is rich and buttery, the ratatouille is light, herby and fresh, which m

Easy Mushroom, Leek and Comté Quiche

Not every quiche is created equal and I've been working on this mushroom, leek and comté recipe for a while so I can confidently say it's the best vegetarian quiche I've ever had so far. It's savoury, rich and herby at the same time and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, you name it! This quiche can also be made ahead and frozen, making it a good option for weekly meal prepping or busy dinner parties. No wonder why quiche is one of the first dishes they teach

Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio with Sumac Vinaigrette

The other day I came across these beautiful, colourful and juicy heirloom tomatoes at the farmers market and I knew I had to create something with them. To be able to showcase their vibrant colours, I decided to use them raw and a carpaccio felt like the right way to go. Heirloom tomatoes have slightly different flavours, colours and shapes which brings a lot of vibrancy and texture to this dish but if you're having trouble finding heirloom tomatoes, there is no reason why y

Eggs are our best friends for busy days and busier schedules.

Borlotti Bean Stew in Olive Oil and Tomato Sauce (Vegan)

Imagine a dish so versatile it can be served as a main or a side, warm and fresh out of the pot or chilled out of the fridge. Accompanied by rice, by toasted bread or by pasta, it's one of my favourite bean dishes to make regardless of the season or the occasion. Nutritious, extremely filling and full of dietary fiber, beans can be incorporated in salads, soups, stews or even desserts. There is a great variety of beans out there to choose from and I believe this recipe is per

Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Cinnamon & Clementine

Lately, I have been obsessed with cooking with clementines and I believe this might be the peak example of me trying to incorporate them in every dish. When it comes to cooking with Brussels sprouts, making them taste good can be quite the challenge for most people. That is why they are usually paired with bacon, a meat that has a good amount of fat and salt to flavour the otherwise bland sprouts. When roasted, Brussels sprouts might become a little dry if one isn't careful a

Lentil, Potato, Egg Noodle Soup (Cowboy Soup)

This soup is actually called Cowboy Soup in our household and the initial recipe belongs to my fiancés mom. When he was little, he used to be obsessed with cowboys and everything related to the wild west. He was also a very hyperactive child so his mom and his grandma had a very hard time feeding him. They finally made this soup and called it Cowboy soup, resulting in him loving and eating this soup ever since. So this is my take on his childhood favourite. In Turkey, the cla
