Cakes and sweets

Pecan-chocolate chip cookies

These cookies, which I shared in my Insta story yesterday, are so good that I feel it would actually be a felony not to share them with you!So that’s were I come in! I translated it for you ánd made it vegan and slightly ‘healthier’ by reducing the enormous amount of sugar.

Cheesecake New York style (nut-and soy free)

If you would have asked me two months ago what I miss most in my plant based life, my answer would have been: cheesecake! One of my favourite cakes ever since I tried it for the first time in Israel in 1985. I was hooked from the first bite! Sure, I’ve had plenty of vegan…
