Sweet avocado with lemon and sugar

I found the inspiration for this sweet avocado recipe from the South-African Cooking Book. The result was a bit different, and not exclusively a success, but I am not always hunted by the success of the (perfect) beginner.

What do you need to feed 2 (not always very sophisticated, but always curious) people:

2 medium avocados, sliced and minced in the mixer

1/2 lemon juice

200 gr. sugar - brown or white

You could add some avocado honey, if you are lucky enough to own.

Preparation time: 20-25 minutes

Mix all the ingredients together, and serve it cold or at the room temperature. 

Mango with almond and baked bananas

Out of time and raw materials, but with a fresh lecture and keen to experience something new and tasty, I took the risk of a special South-African recipe, adapted to my time and - let's dare to say - cooking style (please, don't ask me to define what it is).

Ingredients, for 2 persons:

2 medium sized bananas halved

2 spoons of oil

1 egg white

1/2 mango sliced

2 spoons almonds

2 spoons cinnamon sugar

If you want a special taste, you could add the juice from half of a lemon.

Time for preparation: 30 minutes

How to:

Bananas are baked in the oily pan, for 7 minutes, at 100C

Beat the egg white, together with 1 spoon of cinnamon sugar, till you have a baiser.

Add the egg white and the almonds and bake them together for another 17 minutes.

Everything is done, so be ready to add the mango (and the lemon juice, if you want to) - in a more inspiring way that I did. To be served warmed or cold.

It was easy, isn't it?

2 Cooking books

I was busy in the last days, but I was not starving. And, of course, I didn't forget about reading.
Here are my two sources of inspiration.

I was very excited to discover the South-African cuisine, a country I would like to visit one day. Lots of spices, the perfect sour-sweet combination I would always love, diversity of the vegetables and fruits. For the meat, I promise to never eat crocodile, zebra or oystrich. But I will strongly recommend soon, some salads and vegetarian meals (I am not vegetarian, though), adapted to my own style and taste. 

This collection of vegetarian recipes was easier to digest and I was pleasantly surprised about the diversity of choices - I never thought before making sweets out of tofu, and, after testing some of them I am definitely decided to explore more about.
