Kadaifi is a miracle. Crisp. Easy to use. It is normally used for baklava, for example, but I really like it in savory dishes. It turns a pie into a feast. A feast for the eyes too. And of course you can make any filling you like.

Creamy because of the coconut milk and coconut cream, spicy because of the fenugreek and cinnamon. Pumpkin makes it wonderfully soft. And the lemon and orange zest give it that kick that makes it addictively delicious.

I like layering, putting things together. And this is typical such a dish. The delicious lentil puree and then the celeriac with those crunchy hazelnuts and that tasty mint.

It is a salad that surprises you so pleasantly that you are completely amazed. So I like salads of cooked vegetables. My son often laughs at me about it. Mom, you call this a salad? The answer is: yes. This is also a salad. And a fantastic one.
