Since it doesn’t require any plant-based milk and is very adaptable, it is easy to prepare almost everywhere in the world.

Muhammara Dip
Muhammara is a roasted red pepper dip from the Middle East with walnuts, pistachio and pomegranate molasses. It tastes sweet, sour, smoky, salty, and is a little bit spicy. For a nut-free version, use sunflower seeds instead of walnuts and pistachios. Serve with fresh pita bread, crackers, vegetable sticks, or Belgian endive. Or use it…

Lavender cinnamon semolina pudding with chocolate sauce
My godchild inspired me to this recipe. Lavender has a distinctive taste with a hint of mint and rosemary and has a calming and analgesic effect. Semolina pudding is prepared in less than 10 min. and should then cool down for a few hours so that it solidifies. Fresh lavender can be stored in the…
