Chia seeds have become quite a popular ingredient lately. These little black seeds swell out when exposed to moisture and will set liquid to a jelly-like consistency. Added to that chia seeds have many health benefits, ranging from a high protein and fibre content to lots of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Add it to smoothies or sprinkle over breakfast to enjoy them as part of a healthy meal or used in a dessert, like in this recipe. The combination of coconut milk and vanilla is delicious or try it with cinnamon, it’s as yummy with the apples (see the tips). This is such an easy dessert to make and the crunchy, sweet ‘apple spoons’ are perfect with the toasted toppings.

Blomkool en broccoli het in die laaste paar jaar vinnig op die groente-gewildheidsleer geklim. Die twee groentes is lankal nie meer net vir ’n kaassous beskore nie en deesdae kry jy baie interessante maniere om dit voor te sit. Hierdie is beslis in my kombuis ’n gunsteling. Dis so maklik om te maak en as jy nog nie voorheen geroosterde blomkool en broccoli geproe het nie, moet jy dit beslis probeer.

Die somer maak jou vrugtemandjie tot boordens toe vol. Daar’s ‘n kleurvolle verskeidenheid en steenvrugte bring die sonskyn sommer op baie maniere tafel toe. Dit is waarop LiG Tydskrif se Februarie artikel fokus.
Geniet die vrugte nét so of gebruik dit in slaaie of nageregte. As die vrugte oorryp word, kan jy ’n puree daarmee maak om te vries of gebruik vir hierdie heerlike nagereg.

Spring is such an exciting season with all the signs of new life, green leaves and blossoming flowers. The same is true for the range of veggies and herbs that becomes available during these months. I always feel inspired to use them as often as possible. It’s also a time when many of us start to put warm soups and stews on the back burner and rather opt for lighter, fresher meals.
