Chestnut Pear Soup
Saturday, November 19, 2022The sweet chestnut has a high starch content - similar to potatoes. This ensures a sweet aroma and a particularly creamy consistency. The soup becomes naturally creamy, so to speak. And, by the way, it is also gluten-free and dairy free. The beauty of this soup is that it's quick and easy to make. You can safely use vacuum-packed chestnuts or those from the jar. They are already pre-cooked and peeled. The pear just adds a fresh, slightly fruity note. And goes perfectly with the nutty-sweet taste of the chestnuts.

Seedy Oatbread - Gluten, Dairy, Sugar & Egg Free
Tuesday, November 15, 2022Bread without wheat flour are very popular right now. Instead of wheat flour, this oat bread contains many seeds, nuts and of course oat flakes. The nuts and seeds are held together here by the crashed linseeds, psyllium husks and water. (That is why the resting time is particularly important for the flourless bread.) This gives the bread a firm consistency and makes the bread particularly crunchy. This delicious seedy bread is super filling and contains lots of healthy ingredients and is bursting with fibre, protein, healthy fats and minerals. It is easy and can be prepared in no time at all. Be sure to try it out! It's gluten, dairy, sugar and egg free - an ideal bread alternative for those who have sensitive tummies or simply want to eat consciously. If desired, flavour the dough with some turmeric, fennel, and careway seeds. For a richer version, replace 50 ml of water with coconut oil.
Oats are full of goodness and provide our bodies with a lot of good nutrients, minerals, fibre and trace elements. In addition, oats can help lower blood sugar levels and prevent you from the dreaded sugar cravings. Rye or barley flakes can be used instead.
