As a couple who are immensely charmed with the natural environment, our aim goes beyond simple appreciation — we are passionate about encouraging people to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle, both in the kitchen and in the garden. Our motivation comes from a desire to assist people in reducing their environmental footprint and cultivating a peaceful relationship with our world.
Together, we will go on this adventure to inspire and assist others around us, offering insights and practical techniques for decreasing waste, producing your own food, and developing sustainable habits that benefit both the environment and your personal well-being. By combining the art of gardening with the culinary magic of the kitchen, we hope to develop a community of mindful individuals dedicated to creating positive, significant changes.

Our garden is blooming with life every single day! We have been working non-stop to set up the garden and get it ready for the season. It’s such a rewarding feeling to reap the fruits of our labor!
We will donate all the extra veggies to local stores and neighbors.
A massive thanks goes to my dear friend @permanick_permaculture , a professional in watering systems and rainwater harvesting, who came all the way from Tenerife to install an amazing automatic drip irrigation system. This allows us to travel and still harvest 100% organic food from our garden!

Aubergine/eggplant season is in full swing, and if you need a creative way to prepare them, make plant-based schnitzel! This is one of the things I miss most from when I was eating meat, and I wanted to celebrate the harvest with one of my favorite dishes.
Egg plant Schnitzel 🍆🍋
-Cut the eggplant in to thin slices leaving the end attached to the stem
-massage each layer with salt and let is sit in a pasta strainer to loose the excessive water it will take a couple of hours
-pat them dry and now immerge them in the following bowls in this order
🥣bowl 1 :mix your favourite spices and herbs together with flour
🥣bowl 2 :chickpea water
🥣bowl 3 : bread crumbs
Deep fry using vegetable or seed oil until golden brown and soft inside .
We love serving them with a fresh potato and pickle salad on the side and squeeze some lemon on top of the schnitzel for extra freshness 🍋🍋🟩🥗

It finally happened!! I managed to grow chickpeas and it was so worth it, such an awesome plant 🌱
Thank you @plantfuture for the delicious recipe!
Ingredients For the Filling:
- 2 x cups green chickpeas or green lilva/toor peas (fresh or frozen)
- 4-8 x green chilies (to taste)
- Chopped cilantro
- 2-4 x garlic cloves
- 1 x inch ginger piece
- 1 x tsp fennel seeds
- 1 x tsp cumin seeds
- A pinch of turmeric
- 1/2 x tsp each of cumin and coriander powder
- Salt to taste
Ingredients For the Dough:
- 2 x cups all-purpose flour
- Salt to taste
- 1 x tsp chili powder
- 1/2 x tsp carom seeds
- 1 x tsp cumin seeds
- 2-3 x tbsp oil (1 tbsp for a lighter version)
- Warm water (as needed)
Additional: Oil for frying
Instructions:
Dough: In a bowl, combine flour, salt, chili powder, carom seeds, and cumin seeds. Mix in the oil until the mixture binds. Gradually add warm water, kneading to create a firm, soft dough. Set aside.
Filling: In a food processor, blend peas, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and chilies to achieve a coarse texture. In a pan with heated oil, add fennel and cumin seeds followed by the blended mixture. Cook until dry. Incorporate spices and salt, stir well, and allow to cool.
Form dough into lemon-sized balls.
Assembling Kachoris: Roll out a dough ball into a small disc. Place 1-2 tsp of filling in the center, sealing with the dough edges. Gently roll it again to shape the kachori, ensuring not to overfill.
Heat frying oil in a pan. Fry the kachoris in batches over low to medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot, paired with chutney.
