How did this recipe come about?

Many of my recipes are created very intuitively and with ingredients that I have on hand. That's also how this evening soup was conjured up. I still had some celery stalks, a few apples and fennel, which I hadn't quite used up for my vegetable lasagne a few days earlier. So the vegetables were in front of me and I first asked my body what it wanted. The answer was immediate: "I definitely want something to bite into". So, my body is not satisfied with just soup. However, as I always have to be very careful what and how much I eat in the evening, I prefer a light soup. Soup and something to bite on? You can find out how it turned out below!

How important is the consistency of the food

Ayurveda is always about balance and equalisation. If you have too much fire, you need water to put it out. If something is too dry, it also needs to be balanced with water. If there is too much wind, it needs earth and so on. The consistency of our food is also linked to the elements, the doshas and our own personal constitution. You can find more information about this on my Kitchen sound page.

Nature of the food and digestion

Digestion plays a very important role in our well-being and health. Food is of course one of the main factors in the functioning or non-functioning of our digestion. Other factors are our personal Constitution, the individual composition of the elements in our body and our mental/psychological attitude and lifestyle. I can also influence my bodily fluids with the texture and consistency of my food. For example, if the stool is rather dry and tends towards constipation, the food should have a watery and creamy consistency. With these basic principles, you can contribute a great deal to your health. If you would like to find out more, please send me an e-mail or ask your questions in the comments section.
