Emphasis on the word ‘simple’. This recipe was birthed from scarcity. No eggs or butter in the house, I turned to trusty old Pinterest to find a simple vegan cake recipe and was positively astounded at the difficulty of such a basic task.

Finding Love Around the Table #1: The First Homecooked Dinner Date
A little more than a year ago, I prepared to host someone I’d been dating for 2 months at my apartment for dinner. He would be the first to dine at the new IKEA table I’d painfully spent 2 weeks assembling by myself.
London Fog Affogato
Turning one of my favourite drinks into a delectable dessert! Creamy earl-grey lavender ice-cream gets drowned in piping hot coffee in my take on this scrumptious Italian dessert.

Vegan Lemon Coconut Cream Pie

Shortcrust pastry is basically…
Raw Avocado Lime Cheesecake Bites
When your dessert is made of avocados, you can eat as much as you’d like without feeling guilty #score. Fair warning though: this dessert is not as sweet as my other vegan cheesecake recipes.
