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.

Fennel, Watercress, Orange & Avocado Salad / Salada de Funcho, Agrião, Laranja e Pêra Abacate.

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.

Vegan Beetroot & Beans Burgers / Hamburgeres vegan de Beterraba e Feijão Preto.

These burgers are just my favourite vegan burgers of all times.

Since Kimberly published the recipe on her gorgeous "The Little Plantation" blog, I've already made them countless times.

I adore these burgers and my daughter adores them too and loves to take them for school in her pack lunch. I could give her one of these burgers a day and she'd be super happy.

I'm just posting the recipe in Portuguese (below) as, there's no point on publishing the English version of it when it is very well explained and detailed here, at Kimberly's blog.

Give these burgers a try and you'll love Kimberly forever :)).

Vegan Chocolate Granola / Granola vegan de Chocolate.

If you're following this blog for some time now, you know that I'm not vegan, vegetarian, Paleo or whatever.

I'm just someone that loves food in general!

I eat everything (well, not quite...) and I love to try all sorts of flavours and cuisines. I believe that in food just as in life, balance is the key for everything and therefore, in my house there's no place for fanaticism, fundamentalism's and other sort of (isms).

I cook and eat with my family and friends whatever we fancy to eat on the day. If it's meat we'll eat meat, if it's vegetarian will be and if it's vegan or other sort of tendency, it will be but, it's always what we want, when we want.

Saying that, I love vegan food more than I ever thought I would love it and although (as you know), I have lots of all sorts of books, when I'm craving vegan food, I always go to that same place where I know that I'll find fabulous, mouthwatering and delicious vegan recipes.

Weather for breakfast, meals or even vegan cakes and sweets, Kimberly's, The Little Plantation Blog is the place I always rely in order to cook and eat fabulous vegan food.

Not to talk about Kimberly, the blog owner herself. Such a thoughtful and kind person. Full of knowledge and a very talented food and prop stylist and photographer...

Just visit the blog and tell me if you don't want to cook everything Kimberly publishes there? Plus! Kimberly's blog posts are always a joy to read. Short or long, whatever the theme, for me, reading them, it's always a delightful and relaxing moment!

Honestly? If there is one person in this world that could make me go completely vegan, that person would be Kimberly and her blog!

I've already tried lots of Kimberly's recipes here at home and although my daughter and I, we are the keenest ones for vegan food, my husband and teenager son never ever complained about any of the recipes I cooked from The Little Plantation blog.

Actually, all of them were very much appreciated and devoured by everybody including the two fussy boys.

This granola is one of those successful recipes I tried from Kimberly's blog and I'm not writing here the English version of it because it's all written down and very well explained here.

I have to say that after taking the granola out of the oven, I couldn't stop munching it from the tray or even after being cooled, directly from the jar.

My kids (both), are having it for breakfast and snack all the time and soon, I'll have to make another batch.

Yes! That's how delicious it is!!
