2. Clean the chanterelles and cut them into smaller pieces. Sauté in a skillet on medium heat with a little butter or oil until the excess water is gone and it has reduced to about a third. Add the sour cream, tamari, cayenne, black pepper, and salt if necessary. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, just to let the sour cream melt and flavors combine. If you’re using pre-sautéed chanterelles, simply add to a heated skillet and proceed with the spicing right away.
3. Add the celeriac mash to a big bowl and make a swirl. Top with the sautéed chanterelles. Serve with thawed lingonberries, fresh parsley, and pickled cucumber.

1. Set oven to 175’C/350’F. Grease a muffin tray with coconut oil. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, mix the oats and walnuts into a coarse flour. Transfer to the bowl of your kitchen assistant, or a regular bowl if making the batter by hand. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
3. Whisk the eggs until fluffy. Gradually add the olive oil while whisking vigorously. Set aside.
4. Grate the peeled carrots and the apples roughly. Add to the bowl of dry ingredients, along with the lingonberry jam and the egg mixture. Pulse on low speed until just combined, or if you’re making the batter by hand, use a spatula to carefully fold to combine.
5. Scoop the batter into your muffin tray.
6. Top each muffin with a spoonful of thawed lingonberries and chopped walnuts. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until golden and baked all the way through (you can put a stick or knife inside to check – if the stick comes out clean the muffins are done). Let cool before removing it from the tin.

In most dishes you only want to use the nice part of the asparagus. During asparagus season, I often save the ‘ugly ends’ in a container in the fridge and they sit there waiting to become a soup,” she says.

“Don’t throw away those woody ends! There is still lots of flavor in them. Make a soup, blend it and pass through a sieve to get rid of the fibers.”

1. Melt the butter in a pan. Add the onion, thyme and garlic and cook for a few minutes until softened but still bright.
2. Add the chopped asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Pour in the wine and cook until it has evaporated, then add the broth and let it all cook until the asparagus is soft (about 10 minutes but could be longer if the ends are really hard).
4. Blitz with a hand blender and pass through a strainer to remove the fibers from the asparagus.
5. Season with salt and pepper and a splash of lemon juice.
6. Serve in a bowl and add asparagus tips and/or other toppings of you own choice. Basil is an unexpected perfect match to the asparagus!

1. Mix the walnuts in a food processor for a few seconds into a very coarse mixture. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Peel the beetroot and cut into smaller pieces. Also cut cheese the cheese. Add the grater blade to the food processor and roughly grate beetroot and cheese. Transfer to the bowl with walnuts.
3. Add the egg, olive oil, vinegar, cornflour, spices, and garlic. Mix with your hands to a sticky batter.
4. Form into small rolls that you flatten out slightly. Coat in sesame seeds and place on a baking tray.
5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200’C/390’F.

1. Scrub potatoes, peel carrots, and parsnips, and cut into similarly sized chunks. Cook in generously salted water for about 15 minutes or until soft but with a slight bite. Drain and set aside.
2. Chop the onion and fennel. Heat a glug of oil in a large, wide saucepan and sauté the onion and fennel on medium-low heat until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic, fennel seeds, anise seeds, and chili flakes, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
4. Then add crushed tomatoes, white wine, water + bouillon (or stock), coconut milk, sugar, allspice, thyme, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil.
5. Then add the potatoes, carrot, parsnip, and chickpeas. Let simmer for 10 minutes or longer if you have time. Taste and adjust the spices. You can add more water if you want a more soupy consistency.
6. Serve the bouillabaisse with a drizzle of olive oil, more coconut milk, or a dollop of plant-based yogurt/sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and bread on the side.

1. Prepare by separating the aquafaba from the chickpeas from one can/tetra pak of pre-cooked chickpeas. Place in the fridge for at least an hour before using.
2. Set oven to 100’C/210’F, fan mode. Prep two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
3. Whisk 150 ml (5 fl oz) aquafaba at high speed with an electrical whisk, preferably a kitchen assistant, for about 5-10 minutes or until you can flip the bowl upside down without the meringue falling out.
4. Gradually add the sugar while whisking. Then add corn starch, lemon juice, and vanilla. You can lower the speed somewhat to avoid the sugar flying all over the place. Then continue whisking at high speed for another 5 minutes or so, or until you have a shiny, shapeable meringue.
5. Divide between the two baking sheets. Use a spoon to form 2 large cake bottoms or 3 smaller ones. You can make a swirling pattern if you like. About 2-3 cm (1-1.5 inch) thick. Bake in the oven (fan mode) for 1.5 – 2 hours. Then turn the oven off and leave the meringue inside to slowly cool. Prepare this a day in advance if you’re in a hurry.
6. Chop up 350 g (12 oz) of the strawberries. Place in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Mash them a little to release their juice. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, then mix until smooth with a hand-held blender. Add the lime juice, maple syrup, salt, and corn starch while whisking. Continue whisking and simmering for about 5-8 minutes or until it has thickened somewhat. Set aside to cool (it will thicken even more once cold).
7. Assemble: Place one of the meringues on a serving plate. Spread out the cooled strawberry curd, as much as you like. Then add a layer of whipped cream. Place the second meringue on top of that, then another layer of whipped cream. Decorate with the remaining strawberries and chopped licorice dates (regular dates are fine too). Serve immediately.
