Sweet + Salty: The Art of Vegan Chocolates, Truffles, Caramels, and More from Lagusta's Luscious




Sweet + Salty: The Art of Vegan Chocolates, Truffles, Caramels, and More from Lagusta's Luscious


Funny that most Phoenician stories are supposed to be - car broke down on the way to California.
Black/Red Raspberry Lime truffles are something to look at.
Wow, deconstructing ganache to a fat and liquid and reconstructing with coconut oil and anything - eggplant, miso, balsamic syrup.
Loved the list of things to not use as garnish on truffles.

Fennel apple- skin truffles made with apple skin powder sounds so novel.
Pomegranate truffle made with pomegranate molasses.
ginger juice
Ginger orange blossom truffle looks good with ginger slice and chocolate on top of it.
Caramel candy vs Caramel sauce preparation



Flax-seed egg replacer
sage caramels look so cute.
Caramelized onion and chipotle caramels.
Carrot and coriander caramels
toffee matzo with drizzled chocolate instead of dipped in chocolate
Like the idea of decorating toffee for pictures with tiny cats and shoes.

Fit mom stories















Fit mom

Com’era Dov’era 
 As-is.

If you had to grade your current fitness, what grade would you give yourself?
If you had to grade your probable fitness 10 years from now?
If you graded yourself 10 years ago about your current fitness.
Do they all line up? Is there a good learning curve? I bet there is.
Lately I reached a goal. I got back to my second pre-pregnancy weight after 4 years.Why did I take that long?

The short answer – Read The Secret Life of Fat-Science Understood by Tara Sylver, PhD.

Long answer – In the last three years, I was somewhere along the bridge and then for some reason, there was a reset button pressed and then I was back to the starting weight, This happened thrice. But all this while I was exercising. I was getting stronger.


What is The goal ?
I’m stuck at a number . First pre-pregnancy weight
If you can have anything in the world – What would it be?
where it was and as it was!

When you are a mother, you think you can go back in time to the weight
It is human tendency to be anxious about getting back to the glory past.

Com’era, dov’era

Green smoothie pancakes sounds very healthy.
Jalapeno Pumpkin Waffles
Sweet Potato hash browns
No-Bake Coconut Almond Clusters reminded me of a Costco snack.
Almond Flour parm and cashews make for creamy caesar dessing instead of Mayonnaise.

There's a prep ahead section for the recipes, which should help you put amazing dishes on the table quickly. Some recipes do have quite a number of ingredients, which will call for some shopping.

spelt pastry dough
Spiralized zucchini nests with eggs looks so good.
quinoa as crust for chicken fingers.
Mini Galettes is a cool idea
pie crusts with oats
coconut whip
