This ricotta tart is very festive and perfect for Midsummerโs Day and for July 4. I got the idea for this ricotta-biscuit tart when my 4-year-old and his mates at kindergarten prepared the classic version of the tart with dairy and white-flour-sugar biscuits for Motherโs Day. He could not eat […]
I hear so much people complaining how expensive it is to buy almond milk or hazelnut milk or any nut milk. My answer always is simple โ do not buy it. Instead, prepare homemade almond milk! Now, it is actually a lot easier than expected, and of course much healthier […]

I remember from my childhood a strawberry mousse made of whipped cream. As I do not consume whipped cream any more, I created this healthy version of my childhood dream, and it tastes the same! Your children will love it! This recipe is sugar-free, vegan, oil-free, gluten-free.
It is the first time I tried making mayonnaise, and I can tell you I have never tasted a better one. Moreover, it is oil-free, plant-based and ridiculously easy to make! I poured this delicious mayonnaise on black-bean tortillas and stuffed portabellas, but you can eat it with almost anything! […]
Muffins are definitely one of my favourite comfort foods. When I think of muffins I imagine a nice quite afternoon with freshly baked muffin and a bit of high quality speciality coffee I buy from Gourmet Coffee. Usually I make totally oil-free muffins, but this recipe is a bit more […]
by Nele Liivlaid (Nutriplanet) More than a year ago I could not have imagined putting beans into a brownie. As I was in search for a oil-free brownie I came across of this recipe using beans and was quite sceptic at first. However, after trying it out it became one […]
I've been into healthy eating for many years, but developed a more profound interest in nutrition and related diseases when I started reading The China Study and other special books on nutrition. After being in real estate and hospitality business for more than 10 years I decided to totally change my path to spread the word about healthy and sustainable nutrition and lifestyle. I am also a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate graduate from eCornell. I hope you enjoy my whole food plant-based recipes and practical tips!
