        COOKING

        1. Heat the butter in the pan and fry the onions until translucent. Now add the garlic and ginger to the onions in the pot and fry until fragrant.

        2. Now add the potato and apple pieces and the red cabbage. Stir everything and sauté for about 5 minutes. Now deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, stir briefly and then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to boil and then simmer on low heat with the lid closed for 20-30 minutes until the red cabbage has softened.

The time may vary depending on your oven. Remove the croutons from the oven and leave to cool.

        4. Once the red cabbage is soft, remove the pot from the heat and puree with a hand blender to the desired consistency.

        5. Now add 50g creme fraiche, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, pepper and chilli to taste.

        6. Pour the soup into deep plates and top with creme fraiche, chilli oil, parsley and croutons.

                COOKING

                1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to a mash. Mix in the coconut oil, agave syrup, egg and vanilla.

                2. Now add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the bowl and mix everything together until a creamy dough forms – do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries but set aside about 1 tablespoon of them for later.

                3. Fill the cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Now bake for 16 minutes. I bake them in two batches of 6 so that the cupcakes have more room to rise.

                4. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese, yoghurt, agave syrup, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form and a firm cream has formed,

                5. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

                6. As soon as the cupcakes are at room temperature, the frosting can be spread on top. Warm the remaining blueberries in a small pot or in the microwave until they turn into a sauce. Let it cool and pour the sauce over the cupcakes just before serving.
