Welcome to my personal list of recipes.
I use this website to convert all of the quantities, so that they’re usable in France.
Most of the text of each recipe is copied from its source: I write the recipes - adding my own notes - before cooking, and then type what I wrote.
This has benefits: even if the source goes down, I’ll still have the recipe. Also, if the origin recipe is a video, I get a written recipe. Finally, I can add personal notes, making it easier for me to bake something again.

Ingredients 150g flour 100g sugar 4g baking powder 2 pinches of salt 110ml plant milk 70ml peanut oil 1 vanilla bean or a teaspoon of vanilla powder A few drops of bitter almond aroma And if you want to wrap the bottom of the madeleines with a chocolate shell, count one square of chocolate per madeleine.

Vegetable Dumplings
Recipe Source: Vegetable Dumplings (Vegan Gyoza / Potstickers) - Bianca Zapatka
This took about 2 hours to make. It’s enough for 4 people, and is easy to make, except for the original shape which I didn’t replicate.
I’m not writing the recipe here, as I’m publishing this page more than a month after baking this.
Results I’d give those a 4/5. They’re really good, but long to make for what you get, just like the ravioli I made yesterday; also the original shape, which is way better looking, is really hard to replicate.
