Zucchine a scapece

Zucchine a scapece by Frank Fariello

There are four quintessential Italian summer vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and zucchini. Of these, zucchini seems to get the least respect, perhaps because zucchini plants are so prolific that the surfeit soon becomes a problem. New zucchini can literally sprout from one day to another, and the production—especially around…

Raspberry and Blueberry Raw Vegan Cupcakes

Raspberry and Blueberry Raw Vegan Cupcakes by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I couldn’t live without fruits! Really! In my opinion fruits are a gift from Heaven! Every time I eat a fruit I thank God for that wonderful gift. I don’t know if it’s that sweet taste that makes me so crazy about them, or that lovely juicy texture, but one thing I do know for sure is that fruits make me happy. As I told you…

Raw Vegan Cranberry Brownie

Raw Vegan Cranberry Brownie by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love desserts and because I often eat sweets, I prefer them raw. We all know that all sweets are high in calories, but making mostly raw desserts makes me feel good and guilt-free; this way I know I get plenty of vitamins, minerals and other great nutrients and so I ignore the calories. Another thing I love about raw desserts is…

Celery crackers with tofu and onion salad

Celery crackers with tofu and onion salad by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love celery! And most of all I love crunchy edible stuff! I found out this recipe a long time ago and I finally decided to make it. These crackers are the perfect combination and you can eat them with almost any salty meal. About tofu....what can I say?! At first I didn't like it so much, but know I enjoy it more than I used to…

Zucchini Fettuccine al Pesto

Zucchini Fettuccine al Pesto by CrunchyLettuce

Who doesn’t crave pasta? I certainly do. Classic comfort food, right? But no one wants to wake up in the morning with carb face :) The solution: raw zucchini “noodles”! Don’t underestimate the simplicity of this dish. This pesto really is delicious. And the noodle texture is surprisingly similar to regular fettuccine noodles.

Insalata di arance rosse

Insalata di arance rosse by Frank Fariello

I recently found some blood oranges from California at the market--and I love blood oranges--so I made a blood orange salad as 'dessert': you just peel and slice the oranges, sprinkle over some black olives (Gaeta or nicoise are best), bits of red onion and parsley. Season with a bit (not much) of salt and pour over un filo d'olio.…

Marinated champignons with lentils and cashew sauce

Marinated champignons with lentils and cashew sauce by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love marinated mushrooms. Actually I love apple vinegar with honey! This recipe is the perfect combination of tastes. The acid flavor of vinegar combined with the sweetness of cashew sauce blend magically. This dish is perfect for hot summer days, it is very light and refreshing.

Multivitamin Salad

Multivitamin Salad by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Two weeks ago I kept a raw week diet in order to cleanse my body because I felt terribly guilty after eating a lot of crap (meat free though) in the mini-vacation at the seaside. It was a great week during which I filled my body with a bundle of vitamins and minerals, although it was a bit annoying that I didn’t have much time for…

Almonds and plum bon-bons by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

This is a very easy recipe that I make most of the time after I finish the almond milk. The little sweet treats are amazing! Don't forget to make them small because they are very sweet.

Banana and chocolate pudding

Banana and chocolate pudding by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Bananas, bananas and again bananas! Don’t blame me because I love these sweet creamy fruits! I always make up some kind of dessert when I have bananas in my kitchen and I almost never eat them just as they are. I had some dark chocolate in the fridge and I thought “Why not combine it with bananas? Nothing wrong can happen... right?!”…

Cranberries Jam

Cranberries Jam by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I don’t eat any jams made with sugar. Sugar is another thing on my forbidden list. It is toxic! I only use natural and unrefined sweeteners, honey for example. All the jams that I make are made from dehydrated – rehydrated fruits, combined with delicious honey and amazing spices. The inconvenient is that they won’t last too long in…
