(Serves 1) / (за 1 лице) Oh_my_God! Do I love this salad!!! Me and bf were running late for a book promotion tonight, but still somehow I managed to lick the bowl clean (and yes, I mean it literally, are you judging?). So I’d say this salad is finger-licking good, but that wouldn’t do it…
Grandma’s Chocolate Cream / Еурокремот на баба
(Makes spread for 2 slices of bread) / (Намаз за 2 кришки леб) When I was a child I spent all my summers at my grandmother’s place in the country side. We were poor then and had a simple life, but I grew up in a yard filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, so I…
Cornbread / Пченкарен леб
(Makes one 1 kg loaf) / (за 1 леб од 1 кг) We have this bread maker and I’ve been searching for a decent cornbread recipe ever since we bought it. No luck though, so after much painstaking trial and error I finally managed to make the perfect cornbread myself. It’s as good as those mouth watering corn…
Falafel / Фалафел
(Yields 20 burgers) / (за 20 ќофтиња) I’m a philologist, so it’s only natural that I waste c.a. half an hour trying to find the right spelling of the word ‘falafel’. Even though Oxford dics list it primarily as ‘felafel’ with ‘falafel’ as an alternate spelling, Arabs beg to differ. They don’t have the short…
Mushroom and Carrot Sauce / Сос од печурки и моркови
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) I have to give credit to bf for making this sauce. While I was finishing up some stuff I had piled up from the last couple of days, bf took care of tonight’s dinner. And this has nothing to do with today being 8 March 🙂 Ingredients 2 medium…
Avocado Cream Soup / Крем супа од авокадо
(Serves 4) / (за 4 лица) Hectic days and million stuff to do can get the best of us sometimes and products are just not as fresh as we’d like them to be when we cook `em. But there is virtually no soup a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dash of freshly ground pepper cannot…
Almond Yogurt / Јогурт од бадеми
My friend Elena that also shares recipes with you here made the amazing almond cheese yesterday and this was reason enough for me to immediately try it, and of course add something little of my own 🙂 Macedonian people adore yogurt, but not the sweet kind with fruit. No, ours resembles the Turkish ayran which…

Kale Chips / Чипс од кељ
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) Had the today me approached the old me from 10 years ago and said that there will come a day when I am going to spend most of my ‘free’ time in the kitchen, old me would have lit up a cigarette, laid back into the comfortable armchair and laughed…
Kadaif / Кадаиф
(Serves 10 ) / (за 10 лица) Yesterday was a great Orthodox holiday – Sunday before Lent, or as my ppl like to call it – Forgiveness Sunday. It is a day when younger members of the family visit the older ones asking for forgiveness for whatever they may have done wrong in the previous…
Aronia Mix / Аронија микс

Baked Spicy Mushrooms/ Печени зачинети печурки
(Serves 4) / (за 4 лица) You might have guessed it by now that I like beer. It calms the nerves and there’s another reason why it’s really good for girls- it helps with ovary cysts. But it’s also filled with Vitamin B that really does wanders for the entire nervous system, when you drink…
Azuki Bean Burgers / Плескавици од азуки грав
(Serves 6) / (за 6 лица) I love burgers, you “waste” a few hours (worst-case scenario) making them and you’re set for days. This is something that my mom did to get me and my sister to eat beans. I know beans are good for you, right? The best. But when it comes to passing my…
Beetroot Smoothie / Smoothie од цвекло
(Serves 5) / (за 5 лица) Are you aware I don’t have one smoothie recipe on this blog? How is it possible? 🙂 I am making up for this oversight right away with a drink containing my most hated vegetable of all – the beetroot. Hopefully I’ll inspire you to face your own demons i.e. to…
Tangerine Peel Tea/ Чај од лушпа од мандарини
(Yields 1) / (за 1 лице) Tangerines are still in season and they are tasty and their vibrant color just keeps me alive. I eat a lot of tangerines all the time, and i used to dry all the peels to make my own essential oil coz i though that if my parents always told me…
Easy Creamy Risotto / Лесно кремаво рижото
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) It’s not a big secret that I can’t really cook a lot of things that require expert cooking skills, but some time ago I got frustrated that I can’t cook a risotto, and I love rice as an ingredient and I eat it really often. God bless Italians, coz…
Fudgy Vegan Cupcakes / Кремасти посни мафини
(Yields 12) / (за 12 мафини) If you think that I couldn’t possibly beat that culinary magic from yesterday you’re probably right.

Perfect American Vegan Pancakes / Совршени посни американски палачинки
(Serves 4) / (за 4 лица) This was my first time making American pancakes and having to make them vegan was not at all helpful if you know what I mean. But, after the first disastrous batch being overly oily and the shape of a withering foot, my second batch turned out pretty pro if…
Steamed Vegan Dumplings / Посни кнедли на пареа
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) I love Chinese food, when I come to think about it I like Asian in general. If only someone could omit the flesh from their menu they would definitely be my no. 1 cuisine (sigh). They have so much potential, but on the other hand they are known to…
Ultimate Vegan Cesar Salad / Највкусната посна Цезар салата
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) My favorite spring salad – light and tasty, and keeps you full in a good way too! The original recipe is with shredded everything, but I wanted to go the neat way (so not me!), so I used a knife 🙂 Ingredients 1 medium sized romaine lettuce 2/3 cup…
Vegan Cesar Salad Dressing / Посен прелив за Цезар салата
(Makes about 2/3 cup) / (излегува околу 2/3 шолја) This easy and sour(ish) dressing is not only good for the Cesar salad. It can be used in a myriad of food combos.

Homemade Vegan Croutons / Домашни посни кубети
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) Croutons are a great addition to any soup or salad. They easily turn an entrée into a main (and healthy) meal. Be sure to use some homemade traditional French bread for these. You can season them with the good ole salt and mixed pepper, but you can also add other…
The Green Soup / Зелената супа
(Serves 5) / (за 5 лица) I should like all of nature’s fruits, since it’s all I eat, but some have a really bad smell, and are really hard to love :). Broccoli is one of those. It’s super healthy, deep green color that can detox your body in seconds, enough vitamin D to set…
Flaky French Tart / Француски тарт
(Serves 6) / (за 6 лица) I made this tart with the same dough I used to make the Pizza Colorata. I’ll write the procedure and ingredients here again, just in case 🙂 Ingredients Dough 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water 2 tsp dry yeast 3 cups T55 flour 1/2 cup organic corn flour 1 Tbsp agave…
Pizza Colorata / Разнобојна пица
(Serves 4) / (за 4 лица) The Italian name is a tribute to the original recipe for this pizza dough a friend of mine suggested I make. When you have absolutely no idea what to eat – by all means – eat pizza. Pizza is always a good choice and the varieties are endless. So every…
Easy Baked Carrots & Potatoes/ Лесни печени компири и моркови
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) Root vegetables. Some love them and some hate them, I adore them. They are so resistant to heat and you can easily bake them into anything. Actually vitamins in root vegetables get released with heat, otherwise you don’t get it all.
Potato Boats with Steamed Broccoli / Чамчиња од компири со барена брокула
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) There are times when I just stare at the fridge with no idea what to eat and everything seems old and boring (everybody familiar with this feeling say aye!). And then I remember that having fun with your food is what makes it more edible, so I decided to…
„B4 spring“ Vitamin salad/ Витаминска салата „Пред пролет“
(Serves 2) / (за 2 лица) Sometimes people find it funny how much i get excited over all those beautiful colors that vegetables and fruits have. But, i am mostly a visual person, and when i eat vibrant looking food i immediately feel better. I think eastern cuisine is also based on this principle, so…
Vegan Brown Olive Tapenade / Посен намаз од маслинки
(Makes about 1/2 cup) / (Околу половина шолја) You know how I always say that I hate wasting food, right? Well, there are times when despite my best efforts some of the food spends weeks in the fridge and no one wants to eat it. This is the time to go creative. Everything gets an…
Mushroom Triangles/ Триаголници со печурки
Macedonian food is really tasty, handmade pies and other pastry is really heaven. But, you need skills to hand roll the dough. And the thing is both my BF and I adore pastry, so we looked through some old recipes and discovered these really easy triangles that you can fill with anything you want. They…
