250 g fresh strawberries, cleaned and cut into cubes
the juice of half a lemon
4 tablespoons agave syrup
fresh and cleaned thyme leaves, to taste
1 vanilla pod, scraped
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 30-35 ml cold, filtered water

For the crust (makes around 12-15 baskets)

270 g semi-whole wheat flour
40 g manitoba flour
120 ml extra virgin olive oil
100-120 ml filtered water
half a teaspoon whole sea salt

To complete

shaved almonds, to taste
crumbled almond paste, to taste
unbleached, powdered sugar
a few fresh thyme sprigs, cleaned

Directions

Combine the strawberries, lemon juice, agave syrup, thyme and vanilla in a bowl and toss. Refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
To make the crust, chill wheat and manitoba flour, olive oil and water, by placing them in the fridge at least 30 minutes before you start making the dough. Stir the flours and salt together in a large bowl, then add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the oil has been absorbed by the flour. Keep mixing with the fork, as your hands would be too warm, then add the water little by little, just enough to make a good grainy texture. You might not need all the water indicated in the recipe. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and transfer it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180° C. Remove the dough (or just some of it) from the fridge and place it on a lightly floured surface, dust your rolling-pin with flour, roll the dough out to the desired thickness (2-4 mm) and cut into squares. Oil some tiny pie pans or molds and sprinkle them with a light coating of flour. Arrange the dough squares in the tins, poke a few holes in the dough with a fork to let the steam escape, trim off any excess round the edges and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes then unmold and set aside until they’re ready to be filled.
While the baskets are cooking, prepare the sauce. take the strawberries out of the fridge and separate them from their juice. Pour the juice in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Add the cornstarch and keep stirring until a caramel-like texture is achieved. Remove from the heat and set aside.
To assemble the baskets, fill them with the fresh strawberries and sauce. Complete with the shaved almonds, crumbled almond paste and powdered sugar, top with the thyme sprigs and serve.

Ingredients

For the crust

270 g semi-whole wheat flour
40 g manitoba flour
half a teaspoon whole sea salt
120 ml extra virgin olive oil
100-120 ml filtered water

For the filling (quantities are enough for a 20-22 cm pie)

170-180 g red onions, cleaned and chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 zucchini, cleaned and cut into cubes
whole sea salt, just enough to taste
100 ml filtered water
a handful of capers, soaked in filtered water for about 20 minutes then rinsed and drained
a handful of shelled pine nuts
dried mint leaves, to taste

Directions

To make the crust, chill wheat and manitoba flour, olive oil and water, by placing them in the fridge at least 30 minutes before you start making the dough. Stir the flours and salt together in a large bowl, then add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the oil has been absorbed by the flour. Keep mixing with the fork, as your hands would be too warm, then add the water little by little, just enough to make a good grainy texture. You might not need all the water indicated in the recipe, and that’s ok, as long as the dough holds together. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and transfer it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180° C.
In a pan, sauté the onions in the olive oil for a few minutes over a medium heat. Add the zucchini, salt and water, turn down the heat and keep cooking until the onions are soft and the liquid has reduced. Stir in the capers and pine nuts, add the mint and cook for another couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Take some of the dough out of the fridge and place it on a lightly floured surface, dust your rolling-pin with flour, roll the dough out to the desired thickness (2-4 mm). Oil the tart pan and sprinkle it with a light coating of flour. Arrange the dough in the pan, poke a few holes in the dough with a fork to let the steam escape and cover with the vegetable filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes then remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, unmold and serve.

Ingredients

1 carrot, cleaned and grated
2 tablespoons powdered (finely ground) golden flax seeds
130 g almonds, peeled and coarsely ground
a handful of raisins, soaked in filtered water for about 10 minutes then drained
a pinch of whole sea salt
1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
half a teaspoon grated nutmeg
half a teaspoon cardamom
a few pinches of vanilla powder
3 teaspoons raw almond butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
15 g coconut butter, softened
60 g agave syrup

Makes 15 treats.

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. When you have a homogeneous mixture, wet your hands, form into shaped cookies and dehydrate 10-12 hours or until the desired dryness is reached. This is a moist dough and it might take a while to dehydrate (dehydrating times also depend on the thickness of the dough). If you like these treats to be a little moist, you can certainly reduce the dehydrating time and store them in the refrigerator.

2 handfuls of shelled hazelnuts
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
2 tablespoons wholemeal breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

To assemble

250 g kamut or whole wheat lasagna sheets

Makes 4 servings.

Directions

Blanch 200 g asparagus in boiling water for 6-7 minutes then drain and set aside. Cook the remaining 200 g asparagus until they’re tender. Drain and set aside. Pour the water, vegetable cream and olive oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Add the salt, nutmeg and pepper and keep cooking for a couple of minutes on a low heat. Add the cornstarch to the vegetable cream mixture and keep cooking, stirring constantly, until you reach a fairly thick texture. Remove from the heat and let cool a bit. Combine the 200 g tender asparagus and the cream in the bowl of a mixer and process until smooth. Transfer into a bowl, add the porcini, mix and set aside.
In a pan or wok over medium heat, sauté the remaining blanched asparagus and spinach with the garlic, olive oil, pepper and salt. Remove from the heat.
To make the hazelnut and basil coating, process all the ingredients together in a food processor until the mixture looks grainy. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180° C. Bring plenty filtered water to a boil, add some whole sea salt and cook the lasagne. Drain them and place them on a tray but make sure they don’t stick together. Also, be careful not to break them.
To assemble the lasagne, choose an appropriate baking pan, as you don’t want your lasagne to be too thin or too thick. Oil the bottom of the pan with a little olive oil, then spread some of the asparagus and porcini cream. Arrange the lasagna sheets lengthwise over the cream then spread the lasagne with some of the cream, top with some vegetables (asparagus and spinach) and sprinkle with a little pesto. Repeat layers, and top with remaining cream and pesto. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake an additional 15 minutes. Take away from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

4 tablespoons ground flax seeds
150 ml filtered water
a large zucchini, cleaned and cut into pieces
2 handfuls of arugula, cleaned
a tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled
4-5 tablespoons sesame seeds

Add the flax seed mixture, olive oil, garlic, sesame seeds, thyme and salt and process again at high speed until you reach a smooth texture. Add the white pepper and chili and mix again. Spread the mixture evenly on a sheet of parchment paper that you will have placed on the tray of a dehydrator. The thickness of the final crackers will be determined by the thickness of the layer of your zucchini mixture. Dehydrate until the mixture looks dried on both sides but it’s still pliable. Cut into squares or rectangles and dehydrate again until crunchy or until you reach your favorite texture. It may take up to 12 hours; this depends largely on the dehidrator you use and the temperature you set.
