Have you ever thought that the ready-made tomato sauce from the jar should not really be magic? That's exactly how it was for me. So on a relaxing Saturday morning, I heated up some tomato sauce and literally bathed in it. For some students this seems ideal, yet it is not "haute cuisine".

The first time I noticed the pomelo was during my trip to Thailand. The pomelo belongs to the citrus fruits and is much larger compared to the orange. When peeling, you notice that the segments are surrounded by a thick spongy layer. This is not suitable for consumption.

I love eggplant, but never know what to do with it. It is such a multifaceted vegetable. I got to know the eggplant in Lebanese cuisine and immediately appreciated it. Especially as a secret ingredient in vegan dishes it is used. The eggplant is very versatile and that's why we use it as a bun for our vegan burger. For this we place vegan minced meat between 2 roasted slices of eggplant and refine them later with a few spices. Finally ne horny alternative to the shabby bun fr
