Gluten-free raw vegan strawberry lime tart

Glutenfree-raw-vegan-strawberry-lime-tart-lea-lou-6

I barely have words for the gratefulness I currently feel, thanks to 23°C and a sunny cloud-free blue sky. I love this time of the year when everything and everyone seems to reawaken, rise, grow and glow again. Even just sitting in the sun feels like the greatest gift to me right now! As if I had predicted the weather just right, I made a summery gluten-free raw vegan strawberry lime tart for this month’ food column in Mio Magazin. Although it’s free of refined sugar (note: I used some maple syrup, and dates and strawberries add fruit sugar to it), it tastes deliciously sweet. You can either freeze the tart and enjoy it similar to ice cream, or you chill it and indulge in a creamy and smooth coconut strawberry filling spread on a crunchy crust – spoon after spoon. Enjoy, and have a lovely warm and sunny April! Love,…

That’s why I decided to leave London – because I can, and I will, still be there a lot: I would never want to miss out on all the inspiration which I take from this city.

Tagine-Balham-Lea-Lou-1

If there’s anyone in my circle of friends who is even more passionate about good food and coffee than I am, then undoubtedly this person is my former work colleague and very good friend Casey (who, by the way, recently started a wonderful blog with her husband Mike). She has been telling me about her favorite coffeeshop in Balham, Milk Café, a few times, as well as she has mentioned Tagine Balham, a Moroccan restaurant in the area, which she has been wanting to try for a while. Luckily, at around the same time, Tagine contacted me and asked whether I would like to come in for dinner at some point. Obviously, I wanted, and obviously I took Casey with me for her long-awaited Moroccan feast at Tagine. The restaurant is open for dinner from Monday to Sunday as well as for lunch on the weekends. The menu features Moroccan…
