Easy-peasy curry.

I was really craving for a curry but actually I was way too lazy to cook. So I forced myself to peel and cut a few poatoes and cooked them. As they were done I drained the water and added half a can of coconut milk, vegetable broth, curry powder, fenugreek, gomasio and pepper. I cooked it for another three or four minutes and that was it. No frying onions, garlic, spices, curry paste - just throwing a few things together. Totally yummy, though!

Purple carrot salad.

2 purple carrots

100g soy yoghurt

1/2 tsp olive oil

gomasio (or roasted sesame and salt)

Grate the carrots and mix with oil and yoghurt, season with gomasio to your taste. I used olive oil in which I pickled lime peel. Instead you can add a dash of lime juice. This salad is crispy, creamy, light and vibrant in colour. Regular carrots will do but then it will be just orange. Bummer.

Variation: grate one carrot and one small, red, sour-ish apple. Mix well with 
1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 100g soy yoghurt and gomasio.

Light and luscious breakfast.

It's August. Summer! At least, this tastes like summer, even though the weather proves me wrong.
