Vegan and gluten free Turmeric spoon dessert - the plant based paradise!

Mix 1 tbsp of cornflour with 2 tbsp of sugar and a pinch of turmeric powder. Slowly add 500ml or soy milk (or another vegetable milk of your choice), bring to the boil and simmer, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Pour into 4 dessert bowl (I use grappa/whisky glasses), and refrigerate. Before serving decorate with fruit (I used plums, nectarines, watermelon, blueberries and passion fruit).

Super delicious!

Beautiful heart melon and watermelon plate

This is perfect if you:

A: follow a raw diet (or don't know what to give to a raw eater/vega/gluten free/allergic/etc.)

B: prefer fruit to dessert (i.e. no time to make dessert)

C: want to lose weigh or to eat breakfast all day long

D: are in love! (BTW, this is perfect for St Valentine!)

All you need is a knife and a hear shaped cookie cutter.

Watermelon juice with lemongrass and mint

I used the flesh of a small watermelon (blend with ice and a bit of water - to get the blender moving) and then passed the juice through a sieve (not too fine, just enough to keep the seed pieces out) and then stirred it with a stick of lemongrass (best if you can leave it in the fridge with the lemongrass for 30 minutes). My mint is quite 'strong' so I added it only at the end, for decoration and a hint of fragrance. Serve with ice. I am sure that there will be readers that will think of vodka too!

Fruit pearls

Quick post today, and a quick idea!

I make fruit salad with watermelon and blueberries quite often, scooping the watermelon with one of those gadgets that makes little balls (and using the watermelon shell as a container). I really like the colours together, and there is no need for sugar. This time I also added some Cape Gooseberries and some Alpine (wild) strawberries from the garden, very effective, and a sugar free healthy dessert!

Watermelon and Blueberry Salad

Summer is colours!

I like to eat fruit as it is, but sometimes it is nice to do something different, just to bring out the flavours and intensify the colours: This is easy, cut the watermelon into pieces, add the blueberries, and then just a little icing sugar and a few drops of lemon juice.

Stir and serve.
