Raw carrot cake
With Stockholm experiencing some unseasonably warm weather, it felt like the perfect time to make a raw dish. And seeing as how it's been awhile since I've made a dessert, I thought I'd treat you to some raw carrot cake!
While carrots (and many other vegetables) are available to most of us year round, I still think of this time of year as harvest time - especially for small, backyard gardeners. There are certainly a whole lot of things you can do with carrots, but I think you'll agree ...

Stuffed mushrooms with soft nut cheese and mustard sauce
I don't know if it's the lack of complete darkness in Sweden at this time of year, or the festivities of the long weekend we just had, but I haven't been sleeping much lately - so forgive me in advance if this post isn't what you thought it would be!

Did you end up here after Googling for XXX? Come on, be honest now. Ok, so maybe this is food porn, but what I was trying to say was "3x raw bars", or "triple raw bars", or "I made 3 different raw bars" - but those titles weren't nearly as fun!
When I was deciding on what kinds of raw bars to make, images of those 3-flavored containers of ice cream came flashing into my mind. You know the ones, with one brown, one white and one pink stripe - chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. While I ...

Cashew ricotta and spinach cannelloni
When we think of Italian food, many of us think pasta (or yes, pizza, of course!). At first, you might not think that pasta would be an issue in a plant-based diet, but that isn't really the case. While normal, dry pasta is almost always 100% plant-based, fresh pasta contains eggs. I know a lot of people consider fresh pasta to be superior, but in many dishes that doesn't really need to the case, and well, dry pasta is a whole lot cheaper!
As a kid, I always loved ravioli. Ah, man it ...
