Lands & Flavors

Plant-based, Earth-inspired Recipes

About

Hello there!

I’m Omar and I’m an avid world traveler with an insatiable appetite for cooking, baking, and all things vegan. I started this blog as a means of sharing cooking tips, travel stories, and, most importantly, tasty plant-based, 100% vegan recipes. For the uninitiated, this means that all the recipes on this blog do not contain any animal-derived products including: meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, and honey. What you will find are flavorful, plant-powered recipes that taste delicious and are every bit as satisfying. So, let us journey around the world to faraway lands and recreate the authentic flavors we encounter.

About Me

 

Travel is at its most rewarding when it ceases to be about your reaching a destination and becomes indistinguishable from living your life.

Thick and rich Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder is a delicious way to showcase the natural sweetness and creaminess of summer corn!
Use your spoon to shatter the caramel crackle topping of this Vegan Meyer Lemon Crème Brûlée and reveal the custardy and lemony dessert underneath!
Think of Fattoush as the Middle Eastern version of the Italian panzanella salad--crisp veggies, fresh herbs, toasted pita bread, and a tangy sumac dressing.
A Vegan Gingerbread Cookies recipe with spices, molasses, and both fresh and dried ginger for a double punch of flavor.
This Jamaican Jerk Quinoa combines chiles, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger for that spicy Jamaican taste. Great for making quinoa bowls, too!
Smooth, spicy, and nutritious, Turkish Red Lentil Soup is simple to make and is best served with a squeeze of lemon and drizzle of paprika-infused oil.
