Green color
You can made pasta look green with the help of spinach or broccoli. Just chop it properly and add to the dough. How much? – It’s up to you. The more you add the deeper color and taste you get.

Red color
For this you will need beet roots. You can use both boiled and smashed beet roots as well as juice of fresh beet roots.

Orange color
This color you can get by adding carrot, curry, red pepper or tomato. Each of these products has its own tint of orange color, and of course has great influence on the taste of pasta in general. Choose the one you like most.

Yellow color
If you add some saffron or lemon juice you will get yellow pasta: golden-yellow in the first case and light-yellow in the second.

And finally chocolate…
Yes, chocolate pasta is a special vegetarian meal. It’s mostly used in cooking desserts. When making it we add cocoa powder and sugar, and get brown pasta with gentle chocolate taste.

What else color could you made your pasta? Please share.

There is one more important ingredient for absolutely all meals no matter what exactly you cook. We talk about your thoughts during the process of cooking.  Someone may think that it’s ridiculous, but it really makes sense. Our food is not only a combination of ingredients that go through a certain processing. It’s also a very strong energy that could be both positive (if you cook with love and there are only positive thoughts in your head and in your heart) and negative (if you argue or think over and over some troubles and/or offences).

As I said energy of a person who cooks is strong enough to be passed on to the food. So, if something goes wrong don’t let your negative words and emotions go out. Smile and you will find a way to save your healthy vegetarian meal and its healthy energy.

Ingredients:

• mashed potatoes
• mushrooms
• 3 tbsp flour
• 2 onions
• 1 egg (or its vegan equivalent)
• vegetable oil

Fry mushrooms with onion and let them cool. To mashed potatoes add the flour and egg, and mix well. ‘Pastry’ has to be sticky. Divide it into balls, put some mushrooms inside of each one, and pinch together the edges. Thus you get pasties. Before serving fry them from both sides.

Serve hot or cold – as you wish.

Just mashed potatoes with fried mushrooms would not be so tasty, right?

You know that if you just turn on your imagination you can make even very simple vegetarian meals look romantic and show your feelings in such way. By the way cooking is a way to express tender feeling not only for women but fir men as well. I would say especially for men who didn’t use to cook in general but who really want to make this evening special and surprise their girls.

By the way this holiday is a great chance to join vegetarianism (if you still haven’t) just to show how much you love someone.

There are so many types of grapes that you can hardly believe it (most of us can only distinguish red grapes from white ones), but not all of them are good and tasty for eating. Some are grown specially for making wine. For some countries this fruit is the main source of making money. People there grow grapes, make wine, and sell it out.

Grapes can be eaten raw or used for making jam, juice, jelly, vinegar, drugs, wine, grape seed extracts, raisins, and grape seed oil. The last two ‘products’ are often used in vegetarian meals mostly in bakery and desserts.

Do you know any good recipes using grapes? Please share!

Of course one of these foods is chocolate. It contains ‘hormones of happiness’ and indeed helps people feel emotionally and physically better.

This effect of food is one of the basic reasons why business people have their important meetings, negotiations, and contracts signing at restaurants. It’s a fact that full business partners are more likely to agree with you unlike in case when they are hungry. Full person is a happy person who is calm and open for your offers.

If your business partners are vegetarian then why don’t you arrange a meeting at a vegetarian restaurant where they can enjoy their favourite vegetarian meals and feel comfortable. In case you have friendly and close relations with your business partners you can also order a dinner from a vegetarian food delivery service which you have already tried out by yourself. It would be also nice.

So, how do vegetarian meals help in weight loss? The most important point is the absence of animal fat (it’s not only about refusing from meat). In general when a person stops eating animal products metabolism changes, and these changes are always for good.

There is a number of variation for this meal. Non-vegetarians cook it using chicken or other meat bouillon. Today we offer you easy vegetarian variant of okroshka.

Ingredients:

• 2 litres mineral water
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• salt and mustard to taste

• 6 big potatoes (cooked in advance)
• 3-4 fresh cucumbers
• 2 cups of scallion (chopped)
• 1 cup of parsley (chopped)
• 1 cup of dill (chopped)
• 1 can of green peas

To make a pickle please use first four ingredients.

After that slice the vegetables, mix them with greenery and peas in a big bowl, and pour it all with the pickle. Keep in the fridge for an hour and serve.

We told you it was easy!

So, let’s start.

Apples: apple & pecan muffins, crumble apple pie, apple pizza, apple-cobbler, curried apple soup, granola, hot fruit salad, vegan apple torte, and fruit kugel, etc.

Apricots: apricot and cranberry compote, persimmon salad with toasted walnuts and dried cranberries, apricots filled with almond, apricot-almond honey bread, and cranberry soy ricotta, etc.

Banana: Caribbean banana salad; seven-fruit salad; banana peanut salad; banana bread; chocolate banana milkshake; vegan banana nut ice cream; vegan banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Some other time we will proceed. Enjoy your fruit vegetarian meals!

It’s the beginning of a new year, new period in our life. It’s associated with great hope and new beginnings.

And we always kiss the one we love when clock rings one, two, three… And it’s time for incredible parties and feasts.

If you decide to celebrate this holiday in a club or restaurant please make sure in advance that they serve vegetarian meals. At any case check the menu and choose those meals that do not contain ingredients you don’t eat. Or you can even order something special. For new Year parties it’s not a problem.

If you celebrate at home then you have even more ‘troubles’. First of all you need to cook enough to feed everyone. And you should also take care about those of your friends and relatives who are not vegetarian and cook something for them. New Year is not the best time to turn people to vegetarianism.

Happy New Year!
