<p><span data-contrast="auto">This former food editor of MyKitchen combines her wealth of experience as a chef, food stylist, recipe developer and health fundi to create striking images of veggies totally transformed. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h2><span data-contrast="auto">BETWEEN THE PAGES </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In the darkest months of the Covid-19 lockdown presented Amerae with an opportunity: to realise her goal of making a cookbook. She quickly set up a makeshift studio in her living room, studied up on food photography and got cooking. Just a year later, her e-book was published in print &#8211; her &#8220;dream come true&#8221; &#8211; as Food that Loves You Back. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">This collection of recipes is based on what Amerae enjoys eating on a daily basis. You&#8217;ll notice, too, that what she writes in her introduction is true: she enjoys combining fresh salad ingredients with cooked ones, and plays with texture and colour all the way through. Each chapter heroes at least two vegetables, sometimes prepared on their own and other times together. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h3>Method</h3>
<p><strong>FOR THE GREEN FALAFEL MIXTURE</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Heat the oil in a small pan over low heat and toast the sesame and cumin seeds (or ground cumin) for 1 minute. Set aside. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Place the spinach leaves, chopped onion and herbs in a food processor and pulse for 5 seconds. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Add the chickpeas and pulse to a crumb-like texture. Add the toasted seeds and pulse. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Add the tahini and 2 Tbsp of reserved chickpea brine (known as aquafaba) and process until the mixture is just firm enough to shape into patties. (Add more brine or water if necessary.) Season to taste with salt and black pepper. If making ahead, place in a covered container in the fridge. </span></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>FOR THE YOGHURT-TAHINI SAUCE  </strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Combine the yoghurt and tahini in a small bowl, adding 1-2 Tbsp water, if it seems too thick. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium-high heat and fry the tomatoes and chickpeas until warmed through and just taking on some colour. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Poach or fry the eggs according to your preference. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> For each serving, spread 2-3 Tbsp of the yoghurt-tahini sauce on a plate. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> To make the &#8216;soil&#8217;, sprinkle over ½  cup of the green falafel mixture, then add the warm tomatoes and chickpeas, and top with an egg. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Season to taste and garnish with baby spinach or leafy herbs. </span></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>NOTE  </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Instead of tahini, combine the yoghurt with 2 Tbsp sesame oil or olive oil or mayonnaise. </span></li>
</ul>

<h3>Method</h3>
<p><strong>FOR THE FLAPJACKS  </strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Blend the butternut flesh to a smooth purée. (If you don&#8217;t have a blender, mash with a fork until smooth.) </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Place the purée in a mixing bowl with the coconut cream and sweetener, and whisk until well combined. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and fold in. Be sure to mix thoroughly; the batter will be thicker than normal flapjack batter. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Spoon in 2 heaped Tbsp batter per flapjack, leaving space for them to spread. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Cook for 3 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes, until golden. Keep the finished flapjacks warm while you make the rest. </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"> Serve the warm flapjacks with vegan cream [recipe below], tahini and maple syrup. Garnish with dates and sesame seeds. </span></li>
</ol>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><strong>FOR THE VEGAN CREAM</strong> </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">1. Blend the drained sunflower seeds, coconut cream, sweetener and vanilla essence until smooth. </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">Roast a whole butternut and cool slightly before cutting in half, removing the seeds and scooping out the flesh. About 550g raw weight should yield 500g (2 cups) when cooked. Instead of butternut, use the same quantity of cooked pumpkin or orange sweet potato. They&#8217;ll taste just as good! </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
