💜 HERITAGE, REIMAGINED — My Grandmother’s Szilvás Gombóc 💜

Some recipes are simply food; others are memories you can taste.

These vegan & gluten-free plum dumplings take me straight back to my childhood, to my grandmother’s kitchen, my great-grandfather’s garden, and the plums we waited for every season.

We always used to say that Besztercei szilva — the Bistrița plum — was the best plum for Szilvás gombóc. 🌿

My grandmother made hers traditionally, with eggs and wheat flour.

Mine are different.

🌱 Vegan
🌱 Gluten-free
🌱 Soft potato dough
🌱 Juicy plum centres
🌱 Coconut blossom sugar
🌱 Cinnamon
🌱 Golden gluten-free crumble toasted in rice oil

Different kitchen. Different ingredients. The same dumpling. The same memory. Perhaps that is the magic of veganising the foods we grew up with: we do not have to leave our traditions behind.

We can carry them forward. 💚

Homemade. Handmade. Love-made.

AUGUST TREND 🌿☀️

A creamy chickpea, spinach & roasted tomato bowl

August food doesn’t need to be complicated. This bowl brings together creamy, fresh and roasted textures with just a few simple plant-based ingredients.

🫘 Chickpeas for plant protein, fibre, iron and folate
🥬 Spinach for folate, vitamin K and carotenoids
🍅 Roasted cherry tomatoes for vitamin C and lycopene
🫒 Olive oil for healthy unsaturated fats
🌿 Rosemary for that unmistakable Mediterranean summer flavour

For one bowl:

- 1 cup cooked chickpeas, 2 generous handfuls of spinach, a handful of cherry tomatoes, 3–4 tbsp unsweetened vegan yogurt or creamy tahini-yogurt sauce, fresh rosemary, olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper.

Roast the tomatoes with olive oil and rosemary until beautifully soft and caramelised. Lightly sauté the spinach, warm the chickpeas, add the creamy vegan sauce and finish with lemon and fresh herbs.

Simple. Colourful. Nourishing. And very August. ☀️

REAL FOOD. MADE WITH LOVE. PLANT BASED.

This is what Betty’s Vegan Alchemy looks like in real life. 💚
Not restriction.
Not tiny portions.
Not a bowl of leaves pretending to be dinner. 😄
And definitely not the idea that eating plant-based means giving up pizza, cakes, creamy sauces or comfort food.

These are the kinds of foods I love making:
🍕 Homemade vegan pizzas loaded with vegetables, mushrooms, beans and homemade vegan cheeses and creamy toppings.
🥑 Raw avocado & green-lime cake, naturally sweetened with agave — rich, creamy and decadent without needing dairy.
🍰 Raw vegan cakes and desserts, made from nuts, fruits, cacao, avocado and other whole plant ingredients.
🥦 Broccoli, rice, tofu and vegetables — simple, filling everyday food.
🫘 Beans, vegetables and creamy plant-based sauces for hearty meals that actually satisfy you.
🍝 Pasta with roasted vegetables, tomato sauces, zucchini, peppers and herbs.
🥔 Potatoes with homemade vegan creams and seasonings — because potatoes absolutely belong in a nourishing diet.
🥗 Big colourful salads with greens, sprouts, tomatoes, avocado, vegetables, seeds and fresh dressings.
🥤 Fresh smoothies and juices — alongside real meals, not instead of them.
And yes: carbohydrates. Rice. Potatoes. Pasta. Homemade bread. Pizza. 🌾🥔🍚
Plant-based eating does not have to become another version of diet culture where carbohydrates are feared and protein is added to absolutely everything.
Food can be nutritious and comforting.
Whole-food based and indulgent.
Simple and beautiful.
Some days it can be mostly raw and fresh. Other days it can be a steaming plate of potatoes, rice, pasta or homemade pizza.
That, for me, is the alchemy: taking ordinary plants and turning them into food you genuinely look forward to eating.
No perfection. No punishment. No fear of food.
Just plants, creativity, flavour — and a lot of love from my kitchen. 🌱💚

Would you try some. If yes, which one?

Unlike coffee, its combination of caffeine and L-theanine prevents energy crashes during long, hot days.

Traditional recipes can become extraordinary when we let plants shine.

Today's recipe is inspired by the Hungarian classic Lecsó, transformed into a hearty one-pot vegan meal filled with seasonal vegetables, herbs and organic rice.

Prepared in the Tefal Smart Cooker, everything cooks under pressure for just 7–8 minutes, preserving flavour, texture and nutrients.

✨ Ingredients: 🥔 Potatoes 🍅 Fresh tomatoes 🫛 Yellow summer beans 🍆 Peeled eggplant 🧅 Onion 🧄 Garlic 🌿 Fresh lovage 🍃 Bay leaves 🌾 Organic rice, hungarian Vegan Smoked Sausages
💧 Water

Why these ingredients matter

❤️ Tomatoes → lycopene & vitamin C
🧄 Garlic → immune-supporting compounds 🧅 Onion → prebiotic fibre
🍆 Eggplant → antioxidants & fibre
🫛 Summer beans → fibre, vitamins and minerals
🥔 Potatoes → potassium & sustained energy 🌾 Organic rice → gentle, satisfying carbohydrates
🌿 Lovage → traditional digestive herb

Healthy cooking doesn't have to be complicated.
Sometimes all you need is fresh seasonal produce, a pressure cooker and a little creativity.
Eat with kindness. Cook with purpose. Heal through plants. 💚🌱
