Today we are going to talk a little about curry. As we all know curry is a very aromatic yellow spice used in many Asian preparations; but not only that. In India, a curry is any spiced stew with sauce. It can be vegetables, meat or fish. This dish, in all its variants, is usually accompanied by boiled rice or bread, for example, the Naan.

It is a delicious dish and usually a little spicy since it is made with the famous curry paste. There are different colors: yellow, red or green, depending on the ingredients used. For this recipe, I used the green curry paste, but pay attention that is quite spicy. I have also used oat milk that can be made with this recipe. The curry version that I propose today is very easy and quick to prepare. It is a Vegan Eggplant Curry that I am sure you will love.

I await your opinions and do not forget to tell me on my Facebook page what recipes you would like me to prepare;)

The gingerbread man is one of the most famous and recognizable symbols of Christmas. Although each country has its traditions, these cookies have become a Christmas icon.

It seems that the origin of gingerbread goes back to 992 when an Armenian monk brought this recipe to France. From there, these cookies spread throughout Europe; but they obtain their peculiar characteristic form just when Elizabeth I of England did not begin to give similar gingerbread cookies to her guests.

Today I propose my version of gingerbread men, super simple and without added fats, perfects for Phase 1.

They are a quick and original version; it is a cookie with a softer texture than the classic and flavored Christmas.

This recipe is part of my Christmas recipe e-book “Fast Metabolism Xmas,” will soon go on sale the 2nd Edition.

I hope you like this recipe; enjoy a healthier Christmas!
