Chili sin carne – the vegan version of chili con carne A recipe that’s been on my list for soooo long, and now it’s finally so sophisticated that I want to share it with you: chili sin carne! Chili sin carne is the meatless version of the original dish, because “sin carne” is Spanish for “without meat”. But this chili has all the more intense flavour because I have refined it with a little cacao powder. Tobias, my business partner, would say here: “The plates will be licked clean again after the meal.” He’s right! So let’s not talk about the hot chilli for long, let’s get started!

Simple, homemade pea guacamole I have to admit that I used to love eating avocados, but my sustainable conscience kept reminding me to reduce my consumption a little. Not only because avocados use a lot of water, but also because they are not a local “fruit or vegetable” in Germany!? By the way, the correct answer is fruit! Botanically speaking, the avocado is a berry and is, therefore, a fruit! While avocado guacamole will always have a special place in my heart and will certainly end up on my plate from time to time, it’s worth giving guacamole made from peas a try! Peas don’t just grow loca ..read more

Protein-rich lentil pasta salad – super easy, quick and healthy Just lately, I’ve been asked more and more for recipes and tips on how to more easily meet your protein needs. In fact, protein is also often the macronutrient that, along with carbohydrates and fats, often gets a bit of a raw deal in the general diet. Mostly, this is because our favourite foods are often a combination of carbohydrates and fats: Pizza Margherita, pasta with pesto, bread with cheese, French fries… Lots of snacks also have either mainly carbohydrates like fruit or fats like nuts. Meeting your protein needs, especial ..read more

Cacao meets banana – that’s all summer needs There is really only one thing you can eat in these warm summer temperatures: Ice cream!

For a particularly chocolaty taste, simply use your favourite type of Dein Kakao (self-promotion) and you can easily vary the flavour. Depending on which cacao flavour you choose, you can conjure up different ice cream. That’s why I always have ..read more

Nibble, nibble, gnaw… Since my vegan buffalo wings have gone down so well so far, I’ve realized how much I like crispy breaded food!

… and the feeling that everything is alright Have you ever asked yourself what it means to you to “come home”? Coming home can look different for everyone. It can be a place or people, but also a feeling that arises in a certain situation and flows through your body. Home or coming home – only you can determine what that means to yourself. Here are a few thoughts from me personally… My parents When I arrive at Mom and Dad’s late at night, slowly open the bedroom door and see the sparkle in Mom’s eyes. Because she couldn’t fall asleep with anticipation and was waiting for me. And is just happy ..read more
