I am not entirely vegetarian. Some would say pescatarian, since I mostly eat legumes, fruit and vegetables, and fish (especially when I’m on my Mediterranean side of the world). I am not a vegan but I do like to add vegan recipes in our diet more often than not. Later on, for example, we will be sharing a super yummy version of vegan mac & cheese, called mac & yease, that you are going to love.

And I think you are going to love this easy, vegan, chewy version of a world-wide favorite: chocolate chip cookies. In addition, the recipe blinks an eye to the sustainable fair trade market: among the ingredients we have milk-free chocolate chips and coffee from organic, fair trade brands. So, even mother Earth is somewhat happy.

Adapted from an italian website that tries to be GOOD TO THE EARTH:

“Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons: It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth” — Walt Whitman
