"I love making buckwheat crepes with ham, Parmesan cheese, and a fried egg on top. It's my go-to breakfast." Taylor Swift, American Singer

You'll need

• 900g water

• 500g buckwheat flour

• 1 Tbs Himalaya Salt

Instructions

1. Place all the ingredients in the bowl. Mix 20sec/ Speed 5

2. Scrape down the edges of the bowl. Mix 10sec/ Speed 5

3. Pour the batter in a salad bowl and set aside for 90min. This step is very important as it will prevent your crepes from looking and tasting like cardboard

4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush the surface with coconut oil

5. Using a cup, pour the batter onto skillet (or pan) and gently spread the batter

6. As soon as the edges look dry and bubbles start to form, flip the crepe and cook for about 1 minute

7. Serve warm with salted caramel sauce or vegetables and cheese

8. Enjoy!

PS: buckwheat flour is very thick. If you believe you need more water to get a lighter texture, just do it

Vanilla Butternut Soup - Certified Thermomix person

Cold days are back! It's time for me to include soups in my diet. I thought I'd cook my classic butternut soup but I found this one here where the author adds some other vegetables and vanilla to the recipe. I didn't know what the result would be, but I can say it's special...very special! I really love it.

The original recipe calls for 1/2 tsp curry and 600g water, but I altered this a bit to adapt it to my own taste (i.e. 1/4 tsp curry and 550g water + 50g coconut milk). The reason I added coconut milk is that coconut and curry go well together and taste great when mixed.
