Still looking for the perfect vegan matzah brie? Try making it in the oven! Taking some inspo from farfal, I tossed the broken matzah with some oil and toasted it in the oven before adding any liquid. I kept the mix simple with some soy milk (or almond if you need kitnyot free) and a touch of vanilla extract. Toss in some dried or fried onions at your leisure, and then bake, stirring occasionally until the milk is absorbed and some bits are getting brown and crusty. I top my brie with some démarrera sugar and cinnamon. How do you “brie”? Let me know in the comments! . . . . #vegan #veganfitnessrecipes #veganfood #veganrecipes #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #passover #veganpassover #matzahchallenge #matzah #matzo #matzahbrei #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #kosher #kosherfood #kosherrecipes #koshervegan #pesach #טבעוני #פסח #מתכוניםלפסח #פסחטבעוני #פסחשמח (at Jaffa, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcnKaKEKP-J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

They may look simple, but looks can be deceiving. These are THE BEST vegan blondies EVER. I know a lot of people say that, but in this case, it’s true. Perfect ratio of chewy to gooey, a strong caramel bite from a combo of date syrup and crushed candied pecans, plus a lil sprinkle of white and dark chocolate chips, all balanced with just the right amount of salt. Best part was, I kinda just closed my eyes and threw them together! **Recipe** 1 c sugar 2 tbsp silan (date syrup) 3/4 c oil 1 tsp vanilla 1 tbsp psyllium husk 1/4 c water 2 c flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/3 c white chocolate chips 1/4 c chocolate chips 1/4 c candied pecans, crushed Mix the wet ingredients together until we’ll emulsified (including the psyllium husk and sugar). Add the flour, salt and baking powder, stir until it just starts to come together, then add be chocolates and crushed pecans. These come out even better if you let the batter sit for at least an hour. Spread in a baking tray (I used a shallow 1/3 size catering pan) and bake at 180C/350F about 30 minutes, depending on the size of your pan. Let cool for as long as you can wait, then DEVOUR . . . . . . #veganrecipes #vegan #veganfood #veganbaking #veganfoodshare #baking #bakinglove #bakingfromscratch #veganbaker #veganbakery #bakersofinstagram #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #dairyfree #freefrom #dairyfreerecipes #eggfreebaking #eggfree #vegandessert #blondebombshell #chocolate #compassionateliving #veganchocolate #veganchef #pastries #telaviv #טבעוני #מתכונים #מתכוניםבריאים #מתכוןטבעוני (at Tel Aviv, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2lk2Qq0G-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Feast your eyes on this. In lieu of stuffing ourselves at an overcrowded restaurant, only a week after our last restaurant date (thanks @fouronesix_tlv!) we decided to keep it simple and have a romantic night in. No babysitters, no pumping, just the two of us and bowls of handmade pasta and pesto. And I do mean handmade. Following tutorials for trofie from Pasta Grannies, we attempted to roll and twist with the flick of the wrist…with marginal success. For an extra special touch, the pesto was also crushed by hand in a too small mortar, but it was worth it. . . . . . #vegan #whatveganseat #valentinesday #veganpasta #pastagrannies #vegandinner #datenight #pastalovers #vegansofig #italian #romanticdinner #dinnerfortwo #vegandates #fancy #homemade #veganitalian #f52grams #foodporn #veganfoodshare #govegan #foodphotography #veganism #plantpased #kosher #pareve #טבעוני #פסטה #תלאביב (at Tel Aviv, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaCkzR8q9SA/?utm_medium=tumblr

There were few things as disappointing about living overseas than discovering the only tempeh manufacturer had closed down. The only way to get my fix was either by hoarding a small stock of tempeh purchased abroad, lucky finds at a handful of local restaurants, and the I’ll-fated attempt to ferment my own (ask if you dare). Thankfully, @holytempeh is here to save the day! I can honestly say, this was some of the best tempeh I’ve ever had the pleasure of cooking with, from is firm and meaty texture, to mild flavor, and all around beautiful fermentation. So thank you to Natanel and the team! With this first block, I couldn’t wait to make one of my absolute favorite recipes, braised tempeh pastrami. Smoky, succulent, and peppered with fragrant spices, it was the perfect base for a vegan Ruben, complete with some sauerkraut, homemade thousand island dressing, and some melted “yellow” cheese from @plenty_4u Big recommend to Holy Tempeh, and so happy to add this lovely and healthy protein source back into my repertoire! . . . . . . . . #vegan #vegansandwich #sandwich #veganfood #vegansofig #whatveganseat #tempeh #tempehrecipe #holytempeh #veganfoodshare #veganfitness #veganfoodie #nosher #thefeedfeed #thefeedfeedvegan #eeeeeats #comfortfood #bestofvegan #plantbased #cleaneating #jewishfood #delish #טבעוני #טבעונות #תלאביב #טמפה #בריאות (at Tel Aviv, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYi7oSVK9CU/?utm_medium=tumblr

At the very last minute, I decided I would in fact make a batch of Passover mandelbread, which I adapted from my grandma’s recipe. . . Lacking flax or psyllium husk that I could use for pesach, this year I tried them with potato starch. They were a little more crumbly than usual, but overall, it was a pretty good fix! . .

Passover Tip 2: Think Positive! . . It can be easy to get caught up in all the “can’ts” of Passover, especially when you already don’t eat animal products. A lot of the options that are readily available to make the holiday feel easier are built on eggs or dairy options. . . Sure, bread is delicious and it can be all the more tempting when you’re not supposed to eat it, but what about the humble potato?!?! I don’t mean gorge on potato starch products like pasta or brownies, but rather get creative with what you can have! . . For example, you CAN eat quinoa, so run with that! I like to deviate from the usual salads and pilafs and transform quinoa into croquettes and granola. Potatoes meanwhile make an excellent base for nacho toppings! . . This is about the time of pesach that we start to get bored and frustrated. If you’re looking for more ideas, check out my ebook, A Very Vegan Passover!

*Break tradition* really?! Only four days left until Passover, so here are a few of my top tips for making it an enjoyable vegan experience. 1: Break tradition! . . Sounds a little radical, and you may be wondering, am I saying just not to keep to the strict rules? Not necessarily. . . When it comes to my spiritual practice, sticking to the rules of Passover is pretty nonnegotiable. Though I will admit eating legumes does make it more tolerable, for the first half of my vegan journey, it was a tradition that I still tried to stick to as much as possible. . . It’s also not a tradition every Passover-celebrating vegan is willing break, and that’s ok! . . What I really mean by break tradition is to let go of your notion of what a traditional Passover dish can be. Early on, I had no notion of how to make a matzah ball without eggs and without tofu as a replacement. Instead of eating a plain vegetable broth as my soup course, I thought about what kinds of delicious soups also happen to fit the rules for pesach. As it turned out, potato leek soup was not only permissible on Passover, but it’s a perfect recipe for spring! In other years, I’ve made an herbed mushroom broth, and the past few years, I’ve been enjoying a vegan bouillabaisse. Plus, I’ve been working on my matzah ball options! . . Even if you don’t have patience for vegan matzah balls this year, you can still have an absolutely delicious Passover-friendly dumpling in your soup – gnocchi! Not “traditional” but definitely delicious. . . So instead of spending your energy stressing about vegan versions of all your traditions, break them! Try some new and delicious dishes, and feel just a little more free this Passover. . . If you’re looking for more vegan Passover recipes, check out my ebook!

I’m baaaaack, and I’ve got a brand new ebook with me! Going vegan was never difficult for me, except when it came to Passover. After 13 years, I think I’ve finally figured out a few tricks to make it a more pleasant week. My first ebook features 10 delicious recipes, a few of my classics and several that I’ve never shared before. I’ve also included tips for gluten free and oil free options, so you can adjust the recipes to your needs, while still following Passover customers. The recipes overall are kitnyot-free, which has always been the hardest part of being ashkenazi on pesach. Don’t celebrate Passover? Don’t worry, these are all fresh spring recipes that would also be welcome on any table. To purchase a copy of your ebook, click the link in my profile. After all, it’s only $5!

I think I can finally say that I really outdid myself with this beautiful bar mitzvah cake. Of course, transforming nature’s bounty into an eye catching centerpiece isn’t the hardest task, but I’m still really pleased with how well this turned out. . . . With a request for vanilla cake, caramel filling, and vanilla buttercream, I took this opportunity to make my first ever Swiss meringue buttercream (with aquafaba of course). . .

When life gives your a ton of butternut squash, make a wheat berry salad. It wasn't quite the season for my favorite summer time grain salad, but this was a hearty stand in when the weather hadn't quite warmed all the way up. . . . I love the way the chewy wheat berries play with juicy dried cranberries (and these truly are juicy!) tender roasted squash, all topped with crunchy pecans and a fragrant sweet balsamic dressing. Throw some argular in there, and you can really feel like this salad is a balanced meal. . . The cherry on top (or below really) is the black lentil and black garlic spread, packed with the musky smooth black garlic flavor throughout, and a little but of succulent truffle oil to tie it all together. . .

The results are in, and bagels won by a landslide! . . I know these were promised last week, but when it came down to it, I needed to spend my last few hours of the day FaceTiming with my grandma on the other side of the world. Good thing bagels are a great brunch any day of the year! . . I made these last summer to practice using my sourdough starter in a classic, New York-style bagel. After slow overnight rise in the fridge, these got thrown into a hot bath before being baked in an even hotter oven. . . The results? A crispy exterior that nearly shattered on impact, a chewy center, with plenty of flavor to go around. Sure, I sometimes miss being able to buy a bagel this good on a whim, but then again, these were totally worth the work! . . And now, the eternal question, what’s your favorite bagel flavor? . . . . . . #bagel #bagels #breakfast #brunch #brunchtime #brunchathome #brunching #mothersday #breakfastofchampions #newyork #newyorkcity #newyorklife #veganbreakfast #veganbaking #weekendvibes #veganblogger #whatveganseat #whatsonmyplate #instafood #eeeeeats #thefeedfeed #hangovercure #טבעוני #אפייה #בייגל #ניויורק #ארוחותבוקר #בראנץ #סופש (at Tel Aviv, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CATSm3aJUML/?igshid=y5mwl668ee3s

I may have made real pretzels today, and not these pretzel rolls from a few weeks ago, but I think these were the real gems. . . From the beginning of lockdown, there was a flood of posts about how much everyone was baking, and yet, even when faced with the prospects of days spent at home, I had no motivation to bake anything. Until, of course, I suddenly HAD to make pretzel rolls. . . For a first attempt, these were definitely satisfactory, and by that I mean they were finished in days. I think I can still do better recipe-wise, but it’s a challenge I’m willing to take! Even so, the burnished brown crust and soft interior were well appreciated, even if they didn’t quite make it all the way to becoming sandwiches. . . . . . #pretzels #veganbaking #pretzelrolls #pretzel #bread #breadmaking #veganbaker #veganbakery #sandwiches #sandwichesofinstagram #quarantinekitchen #whatveganseat #bakingfromscratch #bakersofinstagram #plantbased #thefeedfeed #goodoldvegan #veganfoodie #veganlunch #vegan_friendly #טבעוני #בייגלה #אפייה #אפייהביתית #לחמניות #לחם #תלאביב #מאפייה (at Tel Aviv, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAGUK7OJeWU/?igshid=z127cigcbrcu
