INGREDIENTS & NOTES

#1 Millionaire Shortbread Bites 0:40

165g ground almonds (1 1/3 cup)
50g oats (½ cup)
pinch of salt
3-4 tbsp agave, maple syrup
50g coconut oil or vegan butter (3 tbsp)

150g pitted soaked dates (5.3oz) (i used deglet noor)
60ml water from dates (1/4 cup)
1-2 tsp white miso paste
50g nut butter (3 tbsp)
2 tbsp coconut oil / vegan butter, melted
pinch of salt, if needed

100g dark chocolate (3.5oz)

→ yields 1 20cm/8 inch loaf pan

#2 Spicy Lentil Soup 3:10

1-2 tbsp veg oil
1-2 onions, roughly chopped
6-10 medium tomatoes (300-400g)
1 splash of water
2 cups vegetable broth (500ml), more if needed
1 cup red or yellow lentils (190g)
2-3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp veg oil (for the garlic)
1 handful fresh basil or parsley
zest of 1 lemon
juice of half a lemon (or the full lemon)
salt, pepper to taste
spices of choice to taste (i used harissa & ras el hanout)
fresh mint & sesame seeds for serving
→ 2-3 servings

#3 Crunchy Gnocchi Salad 5:36

500g gnocchi* (17.6 oz)
pinch of salt
drizzle of vegetable oil

for the dressing:
3-4 tbsp unsweetened vegan yogurt
1 tbsp vegan mayo
½ tsp mustard
1-2 tsp white wine vinegar
salt, pepper to taste

½ cucumber, chopped
optional: 1 red onion, finely chopped (i omitted it)
optional: 1-2 tbsp fresh dill, minced
2-3 tbsp fresh chives, minced

→ serves 2-3

*my gnocchi were on the fresher/moister side, not the super dry ones you can buy in a vacuum pack. I haven’t yet tried the recipes with these. Perhaps they turn out super crispy? Or maybe add a tiny splash of water to the baking sheet of these, along with the oil?? Hope this helps.

1 heaping tbsp hummus or vegan sour cream

1 serving of cooked pasta (75g-100g dry pasta)
about ⅓ cup (80ml) oat milk or water (if u choose to blend)

salt to taste
fresh basil

#5 Cheesy Garlic Cauliflower Steaks 8:57

That gnocchi looks absolutely sublime omg....and for what it's worth I've never had tiktok (never will) but I do enjoy indirectly getting those recipes here on youtube for as long as you want to share them lol

[carostraum]

PLEASE stay on YouTube ❤ i Really enjoy your videos, they geht me in such a Smooth, Calm Mood! on tik tok, everything is so quick and fast, the vibe would not survive in the same way ❤

[sunshine]

This video was soo good: the recipes, the tiktoks you inserted (Neda is hilarious), your rant at the end, the music; just a perfect little video that got me smiling :)

[lisaleigh]

I feel YouTube is a better, , I like hearing what you have to say and seeing how you make your recipes. 😊

[jahnvisampat]

the wallows calling after me intro!! i thought my own music began playing when I clicked on! that made my day!!

[saoirsemaimcmahon]

Your kitchen always looks so ascetically pleasing 🕯️💐🥖

[alainadacosta]

It felt especially cozy when you were making the pasta with the night vibes and the candle lit. I’ve been wanting to try millionaire shortbread, I might give that recipe a shot

[MicaG]

Love the recipes!! Also same happens to me with Tiktok, I use it without realizing if that makes sense, I don't use it cause it's fun, you just don't think while you use it! I feel that with Youtube is more of a mindful thing, you actually stop and think if the video you are going to watch will serve you in that moment and make the decision of watching it or not, unlike with tiktok!

[speedyspeedgirl]

Ooooh that roasted veggie pasta and the cheesy cauliflour look so good! I'll have to try those soon :)
Personally, I don't have tiktok because the daily Berlin chaos is more than enough stimulation for me and I'm happy to protect my mind at least when I'm at home lol
But I absolutely see the upsides you're mentioning as well :)

Ich schau deine Videos soso gerne. Eine Sache, die mir jedes Mal auffällt, auf die ich gaar keine Lust hätte, wenn so cremige eher harte Pasten in dem Mixer gemacht werden. Das muss doch ein Krampf sein, das da raus zu bekommen 😅😅 hab den nämlich auch und finde den manchmal echt ein pain in the ass zum sauber machen.
Und in Verteidigung der deutschen Würzung, ich bin mit vielen Gewürzen aufgewachsen, Nelken, Kümmel, Pfeffer & Salz natürlich, Paprika edelsüß und scharf, Lorbeerblätter, Majoran, Koriander, Piment, Muskat, und ich vergesse sicher noch was.. 😊
Und deine Stimme ist wunderschön, so smooth und beruhigend.

The date bars look divine and why haven’t I ever thought of yummy gnocchi salad (I’m Italian, you’d think I’d have made that in my lifetime but noooo! Will be doing that this week for sure!! Cauliflower steaks look 🔥 Thank you!! Love your kitchen, your video style, relaxed and aesthetically pleasing! 🧡

[CrAZychicke]

These all look amazing! Might try the lentil soup this wkn.
Love Maya's channel, and your kitchen is always so tidy!

[c.golden]

Made a Version of the millionairs the other day and I finished them already. Now I want more 😂 but I love the subtle coconut flavor 😊

[MsBeckly]

These all look so good! The gnocchi salad is genius. I think I’ll try it and add some tofu bacon 😊

[glencop]

Date carmel is such a game changer ❤️‍🔥

[mariebourgot]

Thanks for the video Mina! Everything looks delicious! :)

[marinac]

Unrelated but your hair looks so good on you!!

[yaelpieats]

i loved the pasta! never get tired of pasta recipes 😍 i thought i was weird for putting hummus in pasta sometimes so it was so nice to see that in your video 😋

[dasnessie]

For neutral (refined) coconut oil available in Germany, you want Palmin or those cheap big blocks of "Pflanzenfett" from the refrigerated section in bigger supermarkets ❤ I use it a lot for making vegan cheese!
