New Vegan Mayonnaise Gluten Free Nut Free Dairy Free Egg Free Recipe

As some of our readers know we already have a delicious vegan mayonnaise recipe (click here to see it). However, one of our readers has requested a recipe that does not use cashews so we decided to give it a whirl. This is obviously not an unusual request at all as many people have nut allergies or choose not to eat nuts at all. So, we got to work to come up with a new vegan mayonnaise recipe and we were both very impressed with the end result! Our biggest question was how much oil and what kind of oil to use to make sure the mayo became thick enough without using cashews. Luckily, Athanasia found this link to a nutritionist who had a great vegan mayo recipe posted (click here for link). We combined out already existing mayo recipe with hers and this is what we got:

Homemade Vegan Feta Cheese On Pizza Recipe Gluten Free Dairy Free

Athanasia came across this delicious vegan Feta cheese recipe on another vegan recipe blog  so we wanted to try it out. We tried the original recipe and proceeded to change it a bit to our liking. This recipe is the end result and we are very happy with it; it is inspired by the Feta used in the Greek tomato salad known as horiatiki. We wanted to try this recipe on a pizza inspired by this very salad. We had just used all our olives the day before we made this pizza but other than that it is kind of a Greek tomato salad pizza! Of course, it was my idea to add some corn on top of the pizza after it had been baked which is not traditionally in the Greek tomato salad but it was very tasty! So, here is how you can make homemade vegan Feta cheese on pizza:

Hazelnut Chocolate Ice Cream

We have made so many frozen treats this summer! Hey, gotta stay cool in the Greece heat, right? We won’t promise this to be the last frozen treat of the year because the weather could stay warm for another month or so. However, we will try to bring you some “real food” recipes again soon! Here we made a delicious hazelnut chocolate ice cream and we really loved it! Instead of using vegan milk for this one we chose coconut cream and I must say the end result was a nice ice cream-like texture!

Vegan Mozzarella Recipe

We were told about this vegan mozzarella recipe by our friends at Viva Las Vegans (click here for original recipe) and we had to try it.  We are very, very impressed by it. It is truly a delicious vegan cheese! Athanasia just got back from her mini-vacation to Kalamata last night (don’t worry, I had some delicious lemon tofu chicken ready for her when she got home… good thing too, she was very hungry!). Needless to say, it is time to get back to posting recipes again!

First of all, we would like to apologize for our lack of posts. A little over a week ago now, my hard drive fried.

Here we have a delicious raw vegan sugar free, dairy free strawberry banana ice cream! What better than a tasty frozen treat to keep you cool this summer? Guess what else? It is very easy to make!

Zucchini Burgers

It has been awhile since we posted because Athanasia has been swamped with her final exams. We are sorry about that. Exams are brutal for physics students! Athanasia had this amazing idea to make zucchini burgers using some veggies and spices. I helped her come up with some of the flavor enhancements but it was her genius idea to include spearmint in them, although I had my doubts at first… she was right all along! These burgers were amazing and according to her good friend Paulina they are also low in calories! Here is how we made them:

Cherry Pie Filling

I love cherry pies! In fact, I think I just love cherries but it takes a bit of patience to make a good cherry pie filling using a limited amount of raw cane sugar. Most cherry pies recipes I have seen over the years use so much sugar in them and I am not quite sure why. I can understand it helps shape it into more of a syrup but I just do not want to consume that much sugar. So, here is how you can make a delicious cherry pie filling using only 1 tablespoon of raw cane sugar:

Vegan Soy Steaks

Vegan Soy Steaks

Our good friend over at Viva Las Vegans introduced us to these vegan soy steaks. She also taught us how to make them as we had plenty of questions. They are very delicious and can be used in tacos, by themselves or even on a pizza! They come in many different sizes and for this recipe we will be using the smallest size. When you buy them they are basically dry and in a packaged. Here in Greece these can be found at both Botanica here in Patra and at Bamboo Vegan in Athens. I will explain to you how I make them.
