Lemon Coconut Panna Cotta with Blood Orange / Panna Cotta de Limão e Coco, com Laranja Sanguínea.

Here it is, another absolute stunner recipe, from Rita Serano FABULOUS, FABULOUS book "Vegan in 7", from which I've already shared this soup and this salad and a book from! honestly? I can't stop cooking. I might be turning vegan and not assuming it yet (lol)...

I love lemon as you all know and coconut is another ingredient that I totally adore so, this panna cotta couldn't go unnoticed!

And!!!

Let me tell you...

This Panna Cotta is Masterchef worthy!

It has just the perfect wobble and its texture and flavours are amazing!!

I added a few grinds of vanilla powder to my panna cotta just because, as you know, "vanilla" is my first surname and, as blood oranges are now in season, I've topped my panna cotta with segmented blood orange but, feel free to top it with any oranges variety you like or even with any other seasonal fruit.

As oranges are Marta's "ingredient of the month", this is my last post for Marta and her January table.

Remember about the fabulous Rita Serano book "Vegan in 7", I talked about in this post?

Here it is, another fabulous recipe from this amazing book.

Honestly, I'm loving cooking from this book so much, that I could become a vegan before you notice it (lol).

No! I love food in general so, I couldn't choose a way of eating that easily but, again, saying that, I'm more and more in love with vegan or even vegetarian food! Specially after trying Rita's recipes!

I made this salad twice last week and we all loved it here at home so, as Marta's ingredient of the month is oranges, I decided to post this recipe to be part of Marta's January round up.

It's such a simple, yet, super delicious and fulfilling salad that, I couldn't help but share it!

Spring Pea Soup with Roasted Radishes and Sweet and Salty Cashews / Sopa de Ervilhas com Rabanetes assados e Cajus agri-doces.

Around Christmas time, Kyle Books threw a "Advent Cookbook Quiz" on Instagram and I was the lucky winner.

I had to choose 3, from 7 available books and one of the books I chose was Rita Serano's "Vegan in 7".

A delightful book, full of delicious vegan recipes and very straightforward and unpretentious.

Recipes using only 7 or less ingredients, beautiful gorgeous photos and simple, but delightful, recipe introductions.

You all know I'm not vegan or even vegetarian, but you all also know that I love to have and make vegan and vegetarian meals whenever I want and that's one of the reasons I chose this book as one of the 3 books I had to choose from.

Honestly, I have a handful of vegan and vegetarian books but this one, is truly adorable and my favourite so far!

If you want to know more and win one copy of this gorgeous book, have a look at Kimberly's, The Little Plantation blog as, she is not just offering a copy of the book but, she's also sharing another delightful recipe from the book.

I've marked down several recipes to cook and share from the book but, as a soup lover, this soup had to be the first recipe to cook and share.

Try it and feel healthy and green!

Note: Rita suggests to serve the soup with an optional swirl of Cashew Cream, but I opted for a scatter of the sweet and salty cashews, for crunchiness.
