Grapes reduced in cardamom, cinnamon and cane sugar

The vegetable garden brought in a few kilos of their newly harvested grapes. But they were small, had a hard skin and were also a bit too sour for my liking. Not to be used for our dessert in any case, I thought. But of course, throwing it away is never an option. So, I tried to turn them into something delicious by boiling them in cardamom and cinnamon. And cane sugar. And? Dessert hit. It’s too nice how things can suddenly go like this. Enjoy.

Beetroot salad with walnut-date pesto and orange

Beetroot, this way, you can’t dislike. I’m sure of that, because the week we had this salad on the menu, I heard that every day. Especially from guests who solemnly declared that they didn’t really like beetroot, but still wanted to enjoy a second helping that evening. That’s all you need to know, right?

Pearl couscous salad with cinnamon, date syrup, spinach (and white) asparagus

We could have left this salad on the menu forever. It happened only twice, we just want a different menu every week. But it’s divinely delicious. Everything about it. The structure, the surprising spices, the sweetness, the crunch and the gift of the lightly caramelized asparagus. In one word: fantastic.

Eggplant soup with pickled lemon and black tahina

I would like to make this soup just for the garnish with the black tahina. Quite a picture, right? And tasty too. This soup is everything a soup should be. Just thick enough, very tasty, surprising because of the pickled lemon and also beautiful in your bowl.
