Any good truffle starts with a good ganache. Of course a ganache is made from melted chocolate and cream. So how does one make a dairy-free and vegan ganache that tastes at least as good as the cream based one? Well the answer of course is activated watermelon seeds! Watermelon seeds are white in colour,

Vegan Raw Chocolate Ganache Tart
This yummy Vegan Raw Chocolate Ganache Tart has the hallmarks of many great raw desserts – it is both deliciously rich and deeply satisfying (in the sense that you will not overindulge). This is because it is not only packed full of whole foods such as banana and dried sour cherries, activated pecans, activated almonds,

This Vegan Raw Caramelised Onion Tart is the slightly more in depth grown up cousin to our recipe for the Vegan SpringRaw Quiche.

Not only because I happen to have a pantry full of ‘raw’ ingredients, but also because they are so easy to make and taste sooo delicious (and healthy). This vegan raw chocolate brownie certainly takes the cake! I had some of

This vegan whipped cream (can also be called a vegan meringue or whipped egg whites) is truly an amazing technique to learn for all kinds of cooking. You will see the slimy mucilage of the linseed (otherwise known as flaxseed) turn into a light fluffy and delicious whipped cream/meringue. Now I have mentioned before that

A naturopathic friend of mine once jokingly decreed ice cream to be almost the perfect food. Reasoning that being full of milk and egg yolks that it must be high in calcium and protein amongst other things. In fact she (jokingly) went so far as to say that the only thing it is really missing
