Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Saute until soft and fragrant.
Add sweet potatoes. I like to brown them a little bit with the aromatics to get them nice and flavorful.
Add tomatoes, coconut milk, water, spices, and peanuts. Simmer until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Add peanut butter and kale. Simmer until everything is thick, creamy, and delicious. Top with more peanuts and a little cilantro if you’re obsessed like me.

1 head of cauliflower, chopped into about 5 cups of chunks or florets
1 cup cashews
1 tablespoon turmeric – see notes
7–8 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
a squeeze of lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
Sauté: Heat the oil in a deep soup pot. Add the onion, garlic, cauliflower, cashews, and turmeric. Sauté for 10 minutes or until very fragrant.
Simmer: Add the water (I usually start with 4 cups) and salt. Simmer until softened.
Blend: Transfer the soup to a blender and blend into a creamy consistency. It’s best to do this in batches.
Finish: Return to the soup pot and add any additional water (remaining 2-3 cups) if you need to thin it out. Also a good time to season with more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Also a good time to top with spiced chickpeas and parsley and olive oil and more salt and put on your most comfy sweater and enjoy!

1 cup dried chickpeas , soaked in cold water overnight
1/2 red onion , chopped
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon paprika powder
1 big handful of fresh parsley , chopped
black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
canola oil, for deep frying
For the falafel wrap:
large tortilla wraps , I used whole wheat but any work
shredded lettuce
red onion , thinly sliced
pickled red cabbage
cherry tomatoes , halved
tzatziki sauce
Instructions
Tzatziki sauce:
Grate the cucumber and drain through cheesecloth sprinkled with a pinch of salt overnight or at least a few hours.
In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and salt. Stir in the fresh dill and grated cucumber. Taste and add more salt, if desired. Store in the refrigerator and serve chilled.
Falafel balls:
Drain the chickpeas well and place on paper towel to remove the remaining exterior water. Transfer drained chickpeas, red onion, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, paprika powder, parsley, salt and black pepper to a food processor and pulse until roughly mashed.
Stop the processor as needed to scrape down sides of bowl. You should achieve a paste-like consistency, but it doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth – mixture should remain slightly chunky.
Spoon the mixture into a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder and sesame seeds, and stir until well combined. If the mixture is too moist or sticky at this stage, add a little bit more flour, until the mixture holds together. Then cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
Once the falafel mixture has chilled, shape it into small balls (I made 18 balls). Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, until the oil is hot (350 F). Fry the balls in batches, without crowding, until nicely browned, turning as necessary (about 2-3 minutes) and set aside on paper towels to drain.
Falafel wrap:
Heat tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warm. Place desired amount of lettuce on the tortilla. Layer the red onion, pickled red cabbage, falafel balls, halved cherry tomatoes, and top generously with tzatziki sauce. Roll up the tortilla. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

1/2 lb (225 grams) pasta (spaghetti, penne, fusilli…)
3/4 cup (160 grams) cream cheese
1/4 cup (30 grams) grated parmesan, plus more to serve
1 Tbsp olive oil, plus more to serve
1-2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1/2 cup (120 ml) cooking water, plus more if needed
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4-1/2 tsp chili flakes, or according to taste (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Right before draining, reserve a cup of starchy pasta water.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet warm 1 Tbsp of olive oil and gently fry the garlic (plus a good pinch of chili flakes if you like) for 2-3 minutes. Use a low flame, do not let the garlic burn.
Then stir the cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water. Stir to combine oil, cream cheese, water and create a nice and creamy emulsion. Add parmesan cheese and stir well. Your pasta sauce is ready.
Drain and add your pasta to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the pasta in the sauce, add more cooking water as needed for a smooth and creamy consistency.
Serve immediately with a drizzle of good olive oil or extra virgin olive oil, freshly grated parmesan, and freshly ground black pepper (if you don’t use chili flakes). Enjoy!

1 tsp dried chili flakes, or to taste(or 3 fresh chillies)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more to serve(optional, if you don’t keep it vegan)
salt, to taste
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and add spaghetti. Cook until al dente: the spaghetti is soft but still has a little bite.
While the spaghetti is cooking make the sauce: If you don’t use dried chili flakes, remove the seeds from the chilies and finely chop. Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil gently in a frying pan. Add the garlic and chili and cook gently for a few minutes, or until the garlic is pale gold, which will be enough time for the flavorings to infuse the oil (take care not to burn it!). Stir in chopped parsley.
Drain the spaghetti still “al dente”, reserve 1/2 cup cooking water.
Add spaghetti to the frying pan, stir well to coat with the oil, add some starchy cooking water, as much as needed to ensure the pasta is moist and juicy*. Cook on medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring a couple of times.
Sprinkle the spaghetti with extra chopped parsley, and grated parmesan cheese if you don’t keep it vegan. Enjoy!
