Avocado and Lime Bars – Green, Raw and Delicious!
A
vocado (Persea Americana) is a fascinating fruit, native to Central America. The Aztec word for avocado was ahuacatl, which means “testicle tree.” I’ve learned that it is also called “alligator pear,” funny, but when you take a closer look, the skin of the avocado does resemble the one of the alligator.
Amazing Raspberry Raw Cake
S
top! Let’s keep an open mind and have no prejudices, please! Although, I have to admit that until I tasted my first raw cake, I truly believed that no healthy dessert can be so indulgent and addictive as, let’s say – raspberry and poppy seed tart, vanilla and strawberry millefeuille or caramel choux buns, but, let me tell you – I was wrong! In my mind, I’m embarrassed to admit, it was impossible! Sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free, vegan and delicious at the same time? ‘In what universe is that possible?’ – one and only Sheldon Cooper would ask.
Orange and Violet Granita – Icy Cold Pleasure
G
ranita [ɡraˈniːta] is a frozen dessert that originated in Sicily, Italy. It is made of sugar, water and flavor of your choice – fruit juice, wine, coffee, etc. It is incredibly easy to make it, and once you taste it, you will realize what a refreshing and pleasant dessert it is!
Popped Amaranth Granola Bars
P
op till you drop – that’s my motto! How about you – do you like popcorn? I love popcorn! Hot from the microwave, or directly from a saucepan, crispy, salty, with some butter melting on the top, of course! I particularly like to nibble the extra crunchy ones that didn’t pop all the way! Anyway, I must admit that until recently I was living in the dark, thinking that corn is the single edible ‘dancer’ around, but – as they say –“It takes two to pop”, and yes – there is another ‘popping’ agent available – amaranth!
Chocolate Panna Cotta
O
ne of the greatest things about panna cotta, besides its ease of preparation, is surely its ability to transform. You can make panna cotta in silicone molds or even cups, and unmold it onto a plate.
How to Make Curd
W
hen I think of lemon curd, I always picture the famous and fancy English 5-o’clock-tea ritual. I see a vintage castle by the river and a glorious garden with neatly trimmed grass and breathtaking rose bushes. In the middle there is an elegant table covered with colorful tablecloth. And on that table – a feast!
