Falafel is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas, onions, garlic and spices. It’s very tasty and nourishing and, if you taste falafel for the first time, you won’t be able to say that there’s no meat :). I actually find these vegan chickpeas patties more satisfying than meat patties. Falafel is a traditional Middle Eastern food but today it is famous all over the world as street food.

Roasted beetroot and potato soup
Beetroot soup is one of my favorite soups. It’s thick, rich, a little sweet and packed with flavor. Although I really love beetroot, when I make a soup, I prefer to combine beetroot with other veggies. The reason is that I can get a much more creamy texture. I’ve already made roasted pumpkin and beetroot soup and I anted to try a new recipe: roasted beetroot and potato soup. Yes, roasting the veggies is an important step. When you simmer the veggies, they absorb water, but hen you roast them, the water evaporates and the veggies are sweeter and packed with flavor.You may serve this delicious roasted beetroot and potato…

Vanilla custard slice
This vanilla custard slice is a very popular Romanian dessert. It is made with vanilla custard and puff pastry and, optional, with whipped cream.

This vanilla custard slice is also incredible easy to make, of course, if you decide to use commercial puff pastry. You also have the possibility to prepare puff pastry from scratch but it takes a lot of time. I have to admit that I prefer the faster and easier way: I call my husband and ask him to buy a pack of frozen puff pastry :).…
