One of Athanasia’s best friends made this for her and her friends earlier this year and she came home boasting of how delicious it was! I was thinking how can a tart be that good without any cheese on it? Well, I feel guilty about ever having that thought now! After trying it, there is no doubt in my mind Paulina’s tart is exceptional! It just so happens to be simple and easy to make as well. Athanasia had been wanting to make it for a while just so I could try it, so we finally made it.
This is an amazing vegan Greek sour cheese recipe straight from the island of Crete! Finding and making these vegan cheese recipes has become Athanasia’s specialty! We found this particular recipe at our friend’s blog Vegan in Athens (click here to view original recipe). With this particular vegan cheese you can make dakos (ντάκος), which is a very traditional Greek food from Crete. Find out how we made these delicious snacks:
One of our favorite things to make this past year has been variations of stir fry. Not too long ago we posted this delicious gluten free vegan stir fry recipe. Neither one of us had much experience with making stir fry before recently. So, we listened to all the great advice given to us by Viva Las Vegans making the task easier with each attempt! This time we wanted to try a creamy stir fry and we loved this dish very much!
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:
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:
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!
Sure, in some places of the world summer is beginning to wind down but we think there is still enough time to enjoy some delicious frozen treats! Try these frozen peanut butter banana sandwiches for a quick and easy cool treat for the summer heat…
This recipe is so easy and amazing at the same time! What can I say, thank you coconut oil. Thanks to it’s incredible ability to harden at cold temperatures you can make Vegan Gluten Free Magic Shell instantly! It only takes chocolate chips, some vegan milk and the miraculous coconut oil 🙂
We both really, really love popcorn! Is there anything better than having some delicious vegan cheddar popcorn while watching a movie on a Friday night? My mom and sister both taught me how to make vegan cheddar popcorn years ago. Now I am going to tell all of you!

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!
