Easy Recipe - Organic Soya Milk

Soya beans are rich in protein so it is good for vegetarian. Even though I am not a vegetarian, I suggest you to make soya milk at home instead of purchase the packaged one, with less sugar and more nutrients intake.

I picked the organic soya beans here.

Organic Soya Milk

Ingredients:

Organic Soya Beans : 250 grams
Sugar : a little (optional)

Equipment:
Blender
Filter bag

Method:
1. Soak soya beans in the water and remove the skins (it takes time to remove)
I recommend to remove all beans for mise en place and keep in the fridge for preparation.

2. Use a blender to blend the amount of your desire , the pictures shown here is only 3 tablespoons of beans I have made.

3) After blending, use a filter bag to filter the milk.

4) Boil the soya milk and add sugar if you prefer.

5) Serve it hot or chill !

As soya milk cannot keep long, so it's good to cook desired portion for consuming.

Let's try!

I have bought a basil for my herbal garden and tonight I hand picked some fresh basil for preparing my pesto sauce for my linguine.

Ingredients: (for 2 pax)
Fresh basil leaves (see photo)

Parmesan cheese (grated)
Pine nuts 30 grams

Seasoning :
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic
Salt
Black pepper

Equipment:
Blender with chopping function


Method:
1) wash the fresh basil
2) toast pine nuts (optional)
3) put grated parmesan cheese, basil leaves, and pine nuts with all seasonings

I have blended too much and not added so much olive oil, so the mixture is less fat (actually parmesan is fatty) .

It's time to share my recipe again since talking so much on art and cultures.

Here I would like to introduce my secrete recipe of Gazpacho - a soup originating from Andalusia of Spain.  It's a very low cost, high in nutrient and yummy recipe! Sometimes I have left little vegetables like half of cucumber, bell peppers, then you can just buy some more tomatoes to make Gazpacho.

Black pepper
Basilic leaves / mint for garnish

Luxury version: add Spanish ham on top (optional)

2) Cool down the tomatoes in a room temperature
