Named after the queen of England and wife of King Henry VI, Marguerite d’Anjou pear cake is one of the most famous vintage French desserts. This ambrosial pear cake is loaded with fresh fragrant pears and bright citrus flavours; Marguerite d’Anjou leaves a very delicate taste as it melts in the mouth and releases a retro elegant aroma — sweet fruit and zesty citrus. This is not only a simple and elegant recipe but also a tried and tested one; my Marguerite d’Anjou pear cake recipe is vegan and vintage-inspired.
Mini aubergine/eggplant pizzas is a gourmet Greek mezze, a gluten-free and vegan appetizer! This is a quick and easy recipe, so perfect for the last days of summer.
Melitzanosalata, the traditional Greek aubergine salad, is a mouth-watering summer dip. Greece is a unique culinary paradise and melitzanosalata is very popular in Greece!

This is a power-food combination! This recipe brings to you a harmonic blend of aromas, flavors, and colors; the smoky sweet sauce of roasted red peppers goes well with the earthy flavor of buckwheat, the latter brings out the spiciness of the herbed and spiced chickpeas which is tamed by the breezy fresh salad. If you’re on a gluten-free diet, this recipe is ideal for you.
