Three delicious recipes that don't require cooking

Do you know that healthy, delicious and fulfilling meals can be prepared without the use of a stove and oven? Many were surprised by the endless possibilities and creations. 

If you live on a raw diet or if you don't want to spend a lot of time on the cooking process itself, preparing this type of food can be quite demanding and challenging.

Therefore, we present to you a blender - a kitchen appliance that will become your dearest friend!

It’s not just sandwiches that are the finest dishes that don’t need to include a stove. There are a lot of (non)raw dishes that are ready in the blink of an eye and that change the perception of raw food as tasteless and boring. It’s probably not the first dish you’ll think of when it comes to dishes you don’t have to cook but in many countries, soup is a common part of the raw menu.

In addition to the recipe for an excellent, nutritionally very rich cold soup, we bring you two more surprises. One that fixes every day when served with pasta or bruschettas, and one dessert that you will surely get hooked on.
