What to cook on a romantic evening? We thought about it and found some beautiful (and valuable) recipes in the book “In Harmony with the Cycle.” By the way, all of them are thought out from the point of view of women’s days: awaken desire, give energy, and smell seductive.
Refreshing avocado cake with strawberries
Avocados are suitable for the health of the uterus. Nature reminds us of what is good for us: it is no wonder that avocados take nine months to ripen. Strawberries contain a large number of vitamins and minerals. In addition, nowhere else is there so much folic acid. The cotawari root, a relative of asparagus, stimulates fertility and acts as an aphrodisiac.

For the yeast dough
250 ml cashew drink (cooking method – at the end of the article)
1 bar of fresh yeast (42 g)
60g raw cane sugar
150g margarine
500g half-salt flour
Flour for dusting the work surface
75g ground (grey) poppy
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the vanilla sauce
20g food starch
500ml cashew drink
Vanilla pod core
2 tbsp raw cane sugar
For elderflower gravy
600g elderflower
150g raw or honey cane sugar
4 cloves
How to cook
For the dough, heat three tablespoons of cashew drink in a saucepan, crumble the yeast, stir and dissolve. Add one tablespoon of sugar. Leave the mass at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat the rest of the cashew drink over low heat and slowly dissolve 100 g of margarine in it. Mix the flour, poppy seeds, remaining sugar, and salt, then add the yeast mass and margarine mixture. First, knead the dough with a hook on a food processor until smooth by hand. Cover and leave at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the dough to distance, and its volume has doubled.
Melt 50g margarine. Grease 30×25 cm of margarine with a baking dish. Each piece is rolled into a ball. Put all the balls next to each other, filling the entire form. Grease each ball with melted margarine. Cover again and leave for another 30-45 minutes so that the buns are stretched and their size has doubled.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (upper/bottom heat, 160 degrees Celsius). Bake the buns until golden brown on an average of 30 minutes.
For the vanilla sauce, mix the starch with three tablespoons of cold cashew drink, add the vanilla and sugar. The rest of the drink boil in a saucepan, enter their diluted starch, and let boil and remove from the stove.
For the gravy, cut off the tails at the elderflower and boil in a saucepan, adding 125 ml of water, sugar, or honey and cloves. Cook for a few minutes to evaporate the liquid and allow it to thicken the gravy.
