Breakfast and Brunch

Fluffy American Pancakes

Tall, cloud-like pancakes with crispy golden edges and a soft, pillowy center — the quintessential American breakfast. The secret is buttermilk and letting the batter rest.

Breakfast and Brunch

French Toast

Thick-cut brioche soaked in a rich custard of eggs, cream and warm spices, then pan-fried in butter until deeply golden. A luxurious American breakfast that takes just minutes to make.

Breakfast and Brunch

Cold-Brew Oats

Five minutes the night before, and breakfast is already waiting in the fridge. Oats soak overnight in milk and yogurt — no cooking, no timer, no stove. By morning the chia seeds have done their job and everything is thick and creamy. Add fruit, nuts, or a spoonful of peanut butter on top.

Breakfast and Brunch

Overnight Chia Pudding

Five minutes of actual work, and breakfast is waiting for you in the fridge by morning. Chia seeds absorb ten times their weight in liquid overnight, transforming into a thick, creamy pudding with no cooking whatsoever. I use a simple ratio — two tablespoons of chia seeds to 150ml of liquid — and the result is somewhere between tapioca pudding and panna cotta. Sweeten with maple syrup or honey, add a splash of vanilla, and top with whatever fruit is in season. It keeps for three days in the fridge, so I usually make a double batch on Sunday night.

Breakfast and Brunch

Pumpkin Oatmeal

Rolled oats cooked with pumpkin puree and a mix of warm spices — cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg. Ten minutes on the stove, one pot, no drama. The pumpkin makes the oatmeal thicker than usual and gives it a color that looks like autumn in a bowl. Works year-round, not just in October.

Meat Dishes

Fall Veggie Hot Honey Bowl

Roasted sweet potato and Brussels sprouts, ground turkey with warm autumn spices, cottage cheese, avocado, and a maple Dijon drizzle — or hot honey if you want to keep it simple. The Brussels sprouts are the key: roasted cut-side down at high heat, they caramelize at the edges and become nutty and faintly sweet.

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Cauliflower Buffalo Wings

Cauliflower florets dipped in a seasoned batter, baked at high heat until golden and crisp, then tossed in a tangy, spicy buffalo sauce and served with celery, carrots, and vegan ranch. The appeal of this dish is in the contrast: the hot, sticky sauce against the crunchy coating, the cool creamy dip on the side. Two things determine whether they work or not — dry florets before battering, and enough space between pieces on the tray. Everything else is forgiving.

Sweet Dishes

Vegan Cheesecake

A no-bake cheesecake built on a date-and-nut base, filled with blended cashews, lemon, vanilla, and coconut cream, then set in the freezer until firm. The texture is rich and silky — somewhere between a classic New York cheesecake and a frozen cream dessert. The tang from the lemon juice is what makes it taste like a cheesecake rather than just a sweet cashew cream. This recipe requires a high-speed blender and patience: soaked cashews and several hours of chilling. In exchange, it produces something that looks and tastes considerably more impressive than its ingredient list suggests.

Soups

Vegan Chili

Three kinds of beans and a rich, dark, smoky tomato-based sauce built on chipotle peppers, bloomed spices, and a small amount of cocoa powder. This is the version of vegan chili that wins cook-offs. The cocoa sounds unusual until you taste what it does — it deepens the existing flavors without adding any sweetness or chocolate flavor, the same way it works in a mole. The chipotle gives smoke. The long simmer gives body. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end lifts everything. Make it the day before if you can.

Vegetable and Mushroom Dishes

Tempeh Stir-Fry

Crispy-edged tempeh cubes and stir-fried vegetables in a savory-sweet soy, ginger, and garlic sauce. Tempeh is one of the few plant proteins that genuinely crisps when fried — the dense, fermented structure browns at the edges while staying chewy in the center, which is exactly what a stir-fry needs. The sauce caramelizes against the hot pan in the last minute of cooking, coating everything in a glossy layer. Serve over jasmine rice or soba noodles with sesame seeds and spring onion.

Beverages

Hojicha Latte

Hojicha is roasted Japanese green tea — reddish-brown, nutty, and faintly caramelised, with a fraction of the caffeine of matcha or coffee. When whisked into a paste and combined with hot frothed milk, it becomes one of the most comforting drinks in the Japanese tea repertoire. This version works hot or iced. The water temperature is the only thing that needs attention.
