When it comes to desserts, I always try to create them with a refreshing taste and not too sweet. In this recipe I used fresh lime juice and zest, and also reduced the sugar to only about 10 g per serving. This Caipirinha Mousse is inspired by a recipe I got from a good friend a long time ago. We all love this dessert, but the initial recipe was complicated and caused many headaches. Here I created a version that is easier to prepare, but you have to be precise when measuring. Optionally, to make it vegetarian, you can replace the gelatine with just the right amount of agar agar. The vegetarian version will be creamier, but not as foamy and firm as the version with gelatine.
In this smoothie I used two powerful ingredients: Orange & Turmeric. Last week I travelled to Mallorca with my family and half way into our vacation, I started to feel really sick. I came down with a nasty flu, can’t remember being so sick! I couldn’t enjoy the rest of the trip and had to stay in bed most of the time, luckily we had a kids-club. 😉 Now back home, still not feeling perfectly well, I looked for the most powerful immune boosting ingredients, and this smoothie recipe is the result.
You may have noticed that I’m a huge fan of hummus, and that’s why I always try to combine it with new ingredients. In this recipe, I added organic white beans with mediterranean spices to create a smooth and creamy vegan hummus. Did you know that white beans offer a generous quantity of magnesium, which can help your body handle stress better. They are also packed with slow digesting carbohydrates and have a low glycemic index, which is good for your blood sugar level.
Right in time for the Olympic Games in Brazil, I created a fruity and refreshing Mango Caipirinha to enjoy on a beautiful sunny day – just imagine being alongside the picturesque beaches of Rio while listening to tropical tunes of Bossa Nova. Thinking about special ingredients from Brazil, Cachaça and mango immediately came to my mind. In this recipe you will find both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic version of this fruity variation of the famous Brazilian drink.
Preparing Tartare for a dinner party such as Christmas or New Year’s Eve is a longtime tradition in our house. It’s always a hit when serving it in small bowls together with a nice glass of champagne when welcoming dinner guests, or as a seated starter nicely plated. I have to get creative with the ingredients to surprise my guest over and over again. This time I combined the creamy avocado with the well balanced spiciness of the horseradish and the fresh mild flavor of the spring onions, which goes very well with the fresh salmon tartare.
