EATS

Since I was 14 (and way before I went vegan), I saw this recipe in a French
magazine, and was learning to cook for myself. It was one of the very first I
tried and I was so happy with it! It was so easy to make and so tasty. Since
then, I love to make it as it's

the perfect summer dish!

GLU

2 ¼ cups/300 grams flour (I used coconut flour
but you can use flour of choice)
½ cup/150 grams coconut oil, more if
necessary
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄³ - ½ cup ice water,
more if necessary

FOR THE
FILLING:
4 zucchinis
10 tomatoes
3 teaspoons
olive oil
5 fresh sage
leaves
a branch of
rosemary
salt to season
basil

1    Slice the zucchini and steam
for 20 minutes, let it cool.
2    During this time you can make the
crust: Place the flour, salt, in a large
bowl, combine.
3    Add your solid coconut oil and mix until
it sticks together when you squeeze it. Add
water and if necessary, add a little more water
until the texture is right. Place in the fridge for 1
hour. Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
4    Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large circle using extra flour
to keep things from sticking as you go. Place the crust in a pan.
5    Slice tomatoes, and place them, alternating with one slice of zucchini, one slice
tomato etc in a spiral circle, begin at the edge of the pie and finish at the center.
6    Add olive oil, crushed sage, rosemary, and salt.
7    Place pie in oven; reduce heat to 375°F/200°C degrees. Bake for about 45 minutes
or more (until topping is browned). Let cool until a little warm before serving.
8    Add a branch of basil in the center for decoration.

oémie- Paris by Vegan
I live in Paris, France and I switched from a vegetarian to a vegan diet about 8 month ago. My goal is
to show that vegan food can look as good as any food.
Lots of people think that when you’re vegan you just
eat salad. But it can be really so much fun! I’m really
fond of Asian food, pasta and pizza so why not make
them healthier with a veggie based sauce? Once you
get the idea that you can create your usual meal in a
vegan mood, it becomes a fun challenge and practically anything is possible, pancakes, purées, fries, gyoza,
veggie burger, even vegan cheese!
