love ♥ living ♥ vegan
Following a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, is about food, drink, clothes, shoes, body treatments, hair products and more.
It's a conscious decision to think, walk and possibly, talk a better lifestyle.
I support individuals who are thinking about making the shift, as well as, those who have already begun their plant-based journey.
I've made these treats a few times now. They're easy to make, it doesn't take long, and they're simply delicious!
This recipe makes about 16 Truffles - this will vary according to the size of the Truffles made.

Chorizo-pockets with roasted vegetables and red pepper sauce
Doesn't the photo make you hungry? Norbert Ruhdorfer is a chef who focuses on vegan and vegetarian cooking. He has kindly sent this recipe to me so that I can share it with you.
The majority of vegans out there, weren't raised as vegans. With this in mind, Norbert has chosen to share this recipe because the stuffing of the pockets has a meaty kind of texture and taste. Norbert told me that this dish may help those who are shifting, or have switched, to a vegan diet and are having one of those days, when they miss meat or fish.

Family and friends get together for Divali and New Year and this usually involves making and eating 'Indian' sweets, which are also known as Mitthai. However, they often contain non-vegan ingredients like ghee, butter or condensed milk.
Could this be an opportunity to explore making vegan Mitthai!

Dudhi No Halvo
Sandip followed this recipe to make Dudhi No Halvo, which caught my attention from the minute I saw it! Why? The colour is stunning! Beyond that, it is soft and sweet and includes a variety of textures, which are created by the kind of, soft fudge effect plus the nuts which are within in it and on top of it. Very nice!
Read MoreOften, when family members have cooked for celebrations, I've been fed well, but there hasn't been a dessert option. The host has often been apologised and said that they didn't know what to make.
I know that it's not that difficult, but I realised that after I looked for recipes and tried them out; so I understand why they might feel unsure.
