Things to do with Asparagus: Risotto Recipe
When it comes to Asparagus, the first thing I think about is its crunchiness. And then that wacky asparagus pee smell. If you’re one of the people loving asparagus as much as I do, you know what I’m talking about. Then again, you might be one of the few that can’t actually smell the asparagusic acid, which is the culprit of the funny, unique asparagus pee smell.
I don’t mind that at all, but it helps if everyone in the house eats asparagus at the same time
So, you may wonder what can I do with asparagus, right?

Easter Chocolate Cake Recipe
What does Easter mean to you? For me, it’s a time of light, rebirth and new beginnings.
As I started spending it in the UK I also found out it’s a time for CHOCOLATE! haha! Are you with me?
You could very well start making some chocolate eggs that you completely have control over and decide what goes inside, but who has time for that?
My approach is: if it can be done as healthy, tasty and good looking in less time, let’s go with the latter option! It’s Easter Chocolate Cake time!

Fluffy Pancakes with Chocolate Sauce Recipe
I’ve recently made this recipe in our private Foodie Group and they’ve been a massive success!
I have quite a few variations, but with this one, I tried to simplify them as much as possible, yet still have them taste really good. See here for last year’s pancakes and here for a savoury crepes recipes.
They never fail to disappoint, and when you make the different toppings, you’re in for a mega treat! Enjoy!

Vegan Autumn Crumble with Berry Sorbet Recipe
There’s nothing more comforting and easier to make than an apple, or any fruit for that matter, crumble served hot with a side of cream or ice cream. I love making either a sunflower seed vanilla cream for this or a berry sorbet. And so it was done. I’ve even managed to hide in there 2 courgettes! Shhhhh…that’s a secret, cause no one could tell. That gives it more liquid without needing to add any water or nut milk to the consistency. Yum!

Raw Carrot and Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe
To continue the orange theme of the season, here’s something to make you smile even more. It always works for me! Meet CAKE. RAW CARROT CAKE.
This was a Thanksgiving inspired cake that I prepared for the Yes Group London a while ago, and it vanished from the table in minutes. It’s a mixture of a carrot – pumpkin cake with a LAVISH raw chocolate layer. We’re going to town with this.
I wanted to make a pumpkin cake, but the thing is, when using raw pumpkin or squash in desserts they tend to be very starchy and can ruin the taste of the cake. Ooops. We don’t want that! That’s why I decided to keep the orange, spicy theme, yet go for carrots instead. Oh holy guacamole, it’s a winner!!

Sweet Potato + Squash Salad Recipe
As the outside temperature started dropping, the oven and steamer started increasing and I’ve been diving into orange veg county. A couple of sweet potatoes go a very long way in a green salad or mixed grain one.
The great thing is that the autumn harvest is packed with root veggies ready for you to dive into them, whether you’re steaming, roasting or stewing. They’re generally warming in nature and also happy looking, uplifting your plate and mood.
