Cucumber-Lemon Soup!! Delivery Day...photos UP

I am busy prepping for my delivery today the menu is:
Beet Borscht made with apple juice, cinnamon and white wine.
Potato and onion soup with coconut cream.
Lemon-cucumber-fennel chilled soup..(except for the boiled eggs, which will act a  thickener along with coconut milk.... this is a totally raw soup).


A black bean and corn salad with chipotle dressing, blue corn chips and romaine hearts.


Roasted curried vegetable free-form tarts..with a whole wheat and flax seed yeasted dough..yams, yellow potatoes, sugar plum tomatoes, Spanish onion, beets, eggplant, with a nut butter cream.


Bell peppers stuffed with eggplant, garlic, tomato and quinoa ..scented with cumin and fresh mint in a tomato-cinnamon sauce..(Similar to the ones I made in Kuwait City)...to be finished at client's home


Streusel pineapple-strawberry cake.


English toffee-walnut whole wheat oatmeal  thin and crispy cookies.


Mixed bean and micro sprouts.


enjoy.....




 market buys, washed and air dried


the root vegetables for roasting for the tarts


the eggplant, raisins, pine nut and tomato filling for the peppers
the filling with the steamed quinoa added, mix well then lay on a cookie sheet to dry out


the roasted vegetables before adding the roasted eggplants and the tomatoes..marinate overnight and bake in pies

cookies waiting to be baked..a very moist mix made with sunflower seed margarine




previous 2 the cookies are baked..they come out wafer thin and crisp up as they cool
The cooking dish for the stuffed peppers, olive oiled, then add chopped red onion, tomatoes and fresh oregano, place stuffed peppers over top and bake in pre heated ( pre-heat for 25 mins) oven 375f covered for 30 mins
when stuffing vegetables it is a good trick to par-boil/blanche the vegetables so the results will be fully cooked and tender
The quinoa-eggplant stuffed peppers with added fresh mint leaves
The fabulous blended cucumber-lemon soup..dairy free and uncooked...topped with extra virgin olive oil
Chipotle seasoned black bean and roasted corn salad
