Cold Potato Salad

Lately I had been on a soy-yogurt spiral. Wait. No. Who am I kidding? I am a soy-yogurt whore. I live off that stuff. And the thing is, the past couple of months they soy yogurts disappear immediately from the organic shop shelves[and no its not me buying them all]. Why is that? Maybe everyone found out how good it is…It just feels like every time I go to get some they is none left. Once, I almost fought oven a pot of soy-yogurt!! I get upset, but at the same time excited that people in Greece actually eat soy-yogurt and its not only me! Thats because Greece is dairy heaven. Everyone loves cheese and milk AND yogurt.
Anyway, back to the food. So I have this obsession of making a soy yogurt dressing with dill, its just amazing. You will notice I use it in many recipes, but its not always quite the same. This is a cold potato salad, creamy and light, perfect for the end of the summer! Its also fast and very easy to make so do try it please!

You need :
-4-5 potatoes
-1/2 cup unsweetened soy yogurt
-1 tbsp fresh chopped dill
-2 tbsp lemon
-2 tbsp vegan mayo
-2 pinches salt [sorry,didn't measure, adjust to your taste]

You can also add some garlic powder, but I didn’t because I use garlic in everything and I didn’t want it to taste like tzatziki…

So, boil the potatoes until tender, and while boiling mix the rest of the ingredients together until smooth. Chill for at least half an hour. Peel and cut potatoes in cubes, mix altogether and chill again.
That’s it!!
Serves 3-5 as a side dish.

Matcha Lemonade

Matcha powder is more superior to regular green tea because the whole leaves are grinded in a super fine powder so you actually eat the plant and that gives you a load of vitamin C. Yes more than oranges. And it is also very convenient because you do not have to boil the water first so you can make straight cold tea.This is a very nice refreshing drink with a SHIT LOAD of vitamin C and antioxidants! Its also sugar-free, sweetened with agave syrup. It is the perfect summer drink and super healthy! Not to mention that agave syrup is a perfect match with matcha powder and lemon.
So drink away!

News!

Right now I have my photography exams so I might not post a recipe this week. But I am oh so excited cause I just got my new camera, Nikon D300. So I had to post something! I replaced some of the creme brulee pictures with pictures from my new camera. And I took some pictures of  Thai fruit and vegetables. Above you see a sugar apple [good, tastes like custard cream, but pain in the ass to eat] and a huge juicy scented mango [<3<3<3].

P.s. The creme brulee is so good, people are saying it beats other egg&cream based creme brulee. So I guess I am going to make it pretty often, everyone is asking for it!!
