This cake might not be the prettiest of them all but the coffee walnut combination is absolutely delicious. This cake reminds me that vegan and gluten free baking can be scrumptious.

A new series: the banana bread series. Everyone, even the people who say they really can’t bake or that cooking is just a hassle, can make banana bread. It is suitable – or can be made to fit – any person’s diet, no matter your allergies or intolerances. Okay, except if you’re allergic for bananas. All you need to do is grab a bowl and a spoon, get rid of some of that built up tension as you mash your bananas, and tadaaaa! A cake!

Johann and I have labelled this cake our basic cake. It goes perfectly with any type of fruit, topping or sauce. On top of that it is also very easy to make and has great texture and taste. And I know that people who love breakfast cake will also definitely enjoy this one. What else can I say except…. bake this cake!

The Indian kitchen is not that well known in The Netherlands, but it’s incredibly rich and has so many different aspects to it. Pretty understandable, considering India is about 95 times bigger than The Netherlands. So, the time has come for some rich flavours and the great stories from Rakhee.
As you might expect with a blog name like “Box of Spice”, Rakhee sent me a spice mix to go with this recipe. I wish I could order a year’s supply of this, because it was absolutely delicious. But I will give you the recipe so you can try it out for yourself.

A couple of a years ago, I was spending my birthday laying on the couch, just like another other day (I know I’ll die with a flat head), when a big envelope fell through our letter box. Inside it, there were (still completely whole) homemade oatmeal cookies from Barbara from De Wereld van Fien (literally translated: Fien’s World). She had sent a sweet little birthday card along with it and that’s when I truly felt like it was my birthday. It was so special receiving freshly made cookies like that, and since then Johann and I have also been sending cookies to people who we feel is in the need for a little support, or as a way to say “thank you”.

Despite my love/hate relationship with Instagram, I do love it for always giving me inspiration. And you do meet some great people on there, who you otherwise would never have gotten to know. So, despite all the algorithm frustrations, I still like Instagram. For example, for a very long time now I have been following Nina Parker, not just because I want to have all of her clothes, or go on all of her travels, but also because of the delicious food she always shares. This time we decided to make her vegan chocolate mousse and it was delicious

If you have been following us for a while, you probably know summer isn’t exactly my favourite season of the year. I don’t much like the heat, that barbeque smell, or the extra noise outside. But I do love all the fresh fruits that are now available in the shops, and admittedly, summer morning are perhaps some of the most gorgeous mornings in existence.
Here is our simple sweet summer pie with vegan lemon curd

These macaroons are honestly so addictive. As a child, I would always remove the wafer part and eat the rest. The slightly crunchy bottom combined with the softness of the inside from the sweetness of the coconut is just so extraordinarily good. This version doesn’t have the little wafer, so you can immediately begin eating.

Not that long ago, I got a message from Suus from Puur Suzanne, who told me she had finally found the recipe for the best vegan cheesecake of all time. As any serious food blogger should, she put her own twist on it and also sent me the original recipe, so I could be creative with it as well. First, I followed the original recipe to try it out for myself, and honestly, I sold from the very first bite. Suus wasn’t lying: this is the best vegan cheesecake of all time

And that while the entire point of this series is to share those basic recipes that you want to make over and over and over again. This particular recipe we have been making for over 13 years now, and it manages to turn any salad into a fancy meal..
