When you enable your fantasy you can create the best tasting dishes from the simplest ingredients. That’s how I made this zucchini appetizer (or it could be a side dish, depending on how and what you’ll be serving with it). The main ingredients are zucchini, garlic and parsley. I don’t count olive oil, salt or…

Indian Style Potatoes and Cauliflower (Aloo Gobi) / Bulvių ir kalafiorų troškinys indišku stiliumi (Aloo Gobi)
I am very fond of Indian cuisine for quite some time now. First of all, because of the spices used in Indian cuisine – the aroma of each dish is so tempting and it’s not only a delight to the eyes but also to the stomach. Besides, in Indian cuisine, the same sauce or seasoning…
Vegan Guacamole and Roasted Veggie Sandwich / Veganiškas sumuštinis su keptomis daržovėmis ir gvakamole
The idea of this sandwich was born spontaneously when I wanted a light, quick and healthy lunch. Usually I choose a hearty meal for lunch, but a couple of these sandwiches were enough to get full and I didn’t even want meat (and that’s really bizarre!). In fact, ciabatta bread, guacamole, toasted tomatoes, onion and…
Lentil and Vegetable Soup / Lęšių sriuba su daržovėmis
The lentil soup with vegetables is not only very healthy, but also has a wonderful red / orange color. In fact, the taste of this soup is a bit like the tomato soup, because I used four tomatoes. Of course, you can choose vegetables of your own choice. You can use less tomatoes, bell peppers…
Vegan Indian Yellow Split Pea and Spinach Stew (Dhal) / Veganiškas, indiškas žirnių troškinys su špinatais (Dhal)
For me Indian dishes always associate with a wide variety of flavors and colors. Every Indian meal is like a new adventure. I don’t know how about you, but for me Indian cuisine seems so enchanting, mysterious and even a bit magical… Since I have grown up with only Lithuanian cuisine meals, which are seasoned…
Cranberry Sauce for Meat Dishes / Spanguolių padažas mėsos patiekalams
Cranberry sauce is necessary for all meat lovers (without exceptions!). Especially during holiday season, when we roast chicken, ham, turkey, and so on. And how much extra taste adds just a small teaspoon of sweet and sour cranberry sauce! Of course, nothing is better than homemade cranberry sauce. It can’t be compared with any other…
Easy Beetroot, Potato and Bean Salad / Burokėlių, bulvių ir pupelių mišrainė
I could hardly imagine at least one Christmas Eve or Christmas dinner without this salad. It’s just essential salad on Lithuanian festive table. If I think about an appearance of a festive table in Lithuania, I always have an image like this in my head – plates with a variety of meats, a couple fish…
Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa Verde / Žaliasis avokado ir dumplūnių padažas
Tomatillo is a particularly popular vegetable in Latin American cuisine. Most of Lithuanians might have heard something about tomatillo (and I have no doubt that even seen one), but in Lithuanian cuisine tomatillo is used very very rarely. In US green tomatillos can be found in most of the supermarkets or Latin American stores. I…
Classic Greek Salad / Klasikinės graikiškos salotos
Quick, healthy and delicious salad, which is prepared very easily and it takes just 10 minutes! To make the salad choose creamy, mild flavor feta cheese. According to the traditional recipe the salad should be prepared with kalamata olives, but black olives are also great (at least in my case black olives were perfect, since…
Vegan Yellow Split Pea Fritters with Curry Sauce / Veganiški geltonų žirnių kepsneliai su kario padažu
Yellow peas is probably a really forgotten product in many of our kitchens. Although the peas are very useful product to our organism and rich in various substances, they are rarely found in our daily diet. At least I remember very rarely that I have yellow peas in the cupboard, because the biggest dilemma appears when I…
Kale Salad with Greek Yogurt-Avocado Dressing/Kale salotos su graikiško jogurto-avokado padažu

After all, kale is considered to be a super food and one of the most nutritious lettuce in comparison to other lettuce species. They are rich in antioxidants, iron, vitamins A, C, K and many other beneficial…
