Pro Tips

- Take care! Beets can easily stain. Use gloves to prevent red hands!

​- The longer you blend the soup, the creamier the texture.

​- For extra creaminess, add some oat cream or cashew cream.

​- For a sweeter taste, chop up one big apple and cook it with the beets.

​- For a more savory flavor, add one diced potato (don’t forget to blend!).

​- Decorate with fresh coriander or apple chips.

Healthy and sound nutrition is a fundamental aspect of life quality, it is essential for a prolonged and active life. That was what I have learnt from my mother as a child, and still defines my daily life. I think veganism is one of the best choices to keep healthy, as long as you keep your dishes varied and balanced. By my recipes I support balanced diet, and deliver ideas for vegans and non- vegans alike. Just a quick glance on what to expect in the future: makeovers of regular dishes to vegan delicacies, traditional international dishes re-imagined in the vegan way, and desserts – because who doesn’t love desserts?! Peace on your plate!
