This post is actually just a anthem to the good mayonnaise, this time an aioli of or should I just call it Aquafaba garlic mayonnaise? Aquafaba is a fancy word for something so not sexy, chickpea water from a can of chickpeas. So I just stay with the word aquafaba because what you can do with it is sooo sexy! A vegan mayonnaise that taste just like mayonnaise, that behaves just like a real mayonnaise and works with anything, just like a real mayonnaise.
Starting from last week and 4 weeks ahead I will be guest blogger at the popular Dutch blog De hippe vegetariër. During these weeks I will introduce Swedish food my way. Al vegetarian and of course with a indubitable sense of Swedish flair.
Some mornings I really don’t have a clue for what to eat… And that’s how I came up with this avocado-yoghurt. It’s creamy with a bit of sourness just like yoghurt and of course filling. Add the toppings you like, maybe a granola or a mix of fruits or berries?
This is one of my favorite dishes since my years with raw food. I just keep coming back to it whenever. A raw tabbouleh with cauliflower, lots of lemon, parsley and fresh mint. It just doesnt get much better.
I really like beans and lentils! And so does the Dutch author Joke Boon. She even wrote a complete book about al different kinds of beans and lentils, Bonen! (in english Beans!). She also thought of the magnificent chickpea cake that you get as a recipe of in this post. Oh do try it!
May and June is the season for rhubarb. The gardens (and vegetable shops) are filled with them and maybe you find yourself standing wondering what the h*ck to do with them. Well, I have a suggestion for you. Make a lovely rhubarb chutney with curry. Just imagine eating this summery chutney in the winter to your stew. You will just thank your self for being so clever keeping the summer taste!
When I want to create a new recipe, I often start with thinking in different consistencies. On my plate I like to combine something soft, something crunchy and something a bit more chewy. Al this comes together in this recipe with only greens and a even more green dressing.
It’s time for another Swedish cooking book! This time I have chosen a book written by a Swedish famous chef Tareq Taylor; Mat som gör gott (in translation Food that do good). its al about food that makes you feel good, strong, vibrant and healthy. It was of course a must for me to read this one!
When summer is coming, I always want to eat red, juicy and sweet watermelon. Not just a small piece but lots, like really a lot! One warm morning the other day I made this refreshing smoothie with watermelon and fresh mint.
I really like Indian food! But I hardly ever cook it myself for some reason… This cookbook can however be the solution on this: Easy curry vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey. A thick bible of 350 pages with different curry’s and other vegetarian side dishes.
