The power of chickpeas is incredible. The peas in itself form the base for hummus - one of the most delicious things on this planet, but also put well to use in salads, stews and soups. The “chickpea water” or better known as aquafaba is an excellent replacement of egg white making it possible to veganize a whole bunch of desserts (such as this vegan chocolate mousse!) and other dishes. In this vegan aioli, chickpea and water join forces to become aioli, one of the best dips in the world!

Sometimes a new project arises from the desire to not waste something you made yourself. I was very proud of a focaccia bread that I made.

The oxtail pairs beautifully with the bell pepper and carrot, providing a comforting sweet heartiness. An effortless rewarding dish that most of all requires a long lazy Sunday in the kitchen.
