BURNT COFFEE CREAM
This ‘café brûlée’ is easy to make yet so indulgent to eat. Anyone can whip this up with just a few ingredients. Perfect to make when you’re expecting guests and don’t have a lot of time to make an elaborate dessert. When it comes to the sugary crust, it’s easiest to burn it with a kitchen blow torch, though you could also use your oven’s grill function.

BBQ JACKFRUIT TACO’S
Oh lala these taco’s just rock and definitely have some latin temperament!

THE go-to Friday night dinner for a great start of the weekend.

ASPARAGUS & FAB YOLK
Fab what? Fab yolk. We just made up this new word to describe the fabulous dressing that brings this dish together, inspired by egg yolks, but made from butter bean aquafaba. It’s freakingly scrumptious, especially with asparagus! Give it a try and find out yourself :).

VEGAN MILK BREAD
Easter is around the corner, so it’s time to dive into the veganising of all things brunchy, eggy and bready. So this time we veganised the popular Japanese Hokkaido Milk Bread for you, which is quite similar to the French Brioche or Dutch Duivekater. Delicious with just a lick of vegan butter, a dollop of marmalade, or let’s go crazy, chocolate sprinkles. Whatever floats your boat. The secret to the fluffy texture is making a tangzhong first, which is a water and flour based cooked paste. This is your egg-replacer, ‘cause let’s face it, eggs are just so out of season. With this paste you will create a pillowy, yeasty goodness. Perfect to stuff your face with.
By the way, if you’re looking for vegan ‘eggy’ dishes to brighten up your Easter brunch, look at this gorgeous omelette or delicious eggless scramble.

MAD MONKEY TOAST
Have you ever tried making a grilled sandwich with sweet toppings? Well you should and this one is insane!

Make sure to use good quality (vegan) sourdough bread from your local bakery to achieve the perfect result.

FISHY EGGPLANT
Eggplant is one of the most served veggies for vegetarians and vegans in restaurants. Amazingly enough though it is also one of the most misunderstood and poorly prepared vegetables. This should not be the case. Eggplant is a beastly veggie with a bizarre flavour and texture potential. You just have to know how to handle it. Hence this recipe. Especially for the former fish lovers, this is probably a very special taste experience. You can give the eggplant a surprisingly sea-ish taste by smoking it. The silky smooth structure of eggplant in combination with the smoky flavour makes this an amazing delicacy. Serve on toasted sourdough bread with arugula, avocado and vegan mayo.

RUSTIC RYE SCONES
These scones are perfect as a luxurious weekend breakfast or as snack with a piping hot cuppa. Figs and nuts go so well with the rustic flavour and texture of rye flour. These babies are just a little bit more edgy, rich and saturating than plain classic scones. They are best served warm, slathered with some good quality vegan butter, and maybe a dollop of apricot, orange or fig jam.

BLOODY VEGSTEAK
Have you ever heard of Fistulina Hepatica, a.k.a. beefsteak mushroom? This some amazing shit. A fungus that looks exactly like a succulent steak. It even bleeds! The texture is tender and juicy. You can find it on farmers markets or ask a local mushroom forager about it. If you can’t get your hands on one, use portobello mushrooms instead. Perfect alongside Parisian potatoes and a nice green salad or cooked green beans.
