Dumpster diving in nyc, how to: the stores dump their trash on the curb in the evenings, everybody is free to look through it and if you're lucky they even use clear plastic bags, so no opening required.

Brokkoli Soup
with cheesy croutons
What
1 Brokkoli*
2 Potatoes*
Breadcrumbs*
Vegetable base for soup (I made my own frozen stock)
Parmesan cheese
Butter oil
Spices: Salt, Pepper, Nutmeg, juniper berry, laurel
How
Wash the Brokkoli and potatoes. Cut them in small pieces. Meanwhile heat up the butter oil in a big pot. Squash the juniper berries with the flat side of the knife and roast them with a laurel leaf in the put. Then add the brokkoli and the potatoes and roast them gently for a minute. Douse in hot water and get everything to cook gently.
Meanwhile prepare the cheesy croutony by roasting them in a separate pan in a little oil. When they are crunchy brown, turn off the heat and grate some parmesan cheese on it. Leave it on the stove, so it can melt.
When the potatoes and the brokkoli are done, purrée them with a stick blender until the consistency is creamy smooth. If it’s too thick add water, if it’s too fluid starch or flour. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to your liking and serve with the cheese croutons.

Mac’n’Greens
or Makkaroni with green crunchy crust
6 servings
What
300g Pasta*
1/2 (200g) Brokkoli*
300g Tomatos*
400g Pumpkin
150g blanched almonds
50g oats*
1pkg buffalo mozzarella*
1 bunch of basil
Salt, Petter, Olive Oil
How
Prepare the crunchy curst: Blend half of the basil with the oats, Brokkoli and a good sip of olive oil, salt and pepper until it is all fine crumbs. Set aside in a bowl. Then blend the tomatos, Almonds with the rest of the basil and 2 tsps with salt and pepper to a homogenous purée.
Meanwhile cook the past and sliced Pumpkin in a pot of boiling salt water. Cook for half of the time that’s recommended, they have to be half-done. When pouring out, keep one cup of the cooking water.
Then mix the pasta with the tomato purée in a pot. Add some of the cooking water until its quite fluid, because the pasta is going to absorb the extra water in the oven. Fill everything in a big casserole and spread the brokkoli crumbs on the whole thing. Option für non vegans: add mozzarella slices on top – but the original recipe is vegan. Then bake in the oven at 180° in the oven. Let it rest for 10minutes outside the oven, when done.

Oat-cookies with golden milk
or trying to do milk and cookies the healthy way
What
Cookies:
Oats*
Eggs*
Raisins
Cinnamon
Agave syrup
molasses
Golden Milk:
Milk*
Tumeric
Spices: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Pepper
Coconut oil
How
Basically just mix oats, eggs, raisins and the sweeteners of your choice in a bowl to a sticky consistency that allows you to form little lumps. Throw those on a baking tray with baking paper and bake them in the oven for abot 20-30 minutes at 180° unti their done.
For the milk I always prepare a larger batch of tumeric paste by cooking the dried tumeric power in water until it’s a paste. Then I add a spoon of that to a glass of milk and let it simmer with the spices and pour it in a mug with a tbsp of coconut oil.

Berries for Breakfast
Freshly plucked gooseberries, red and black currant and cherries. I know it’s a luxury to have a garden, but there’s no better way to learn how precious food is than growing it yourself.
And if you don’t have a garden on your own, here’s a site with public fruit trees, spots for gathering etc.: http://mundraub.org/

Mango Lassi
What
Mango*
Yoghurt*
Water
How
Peel the mango. Throw it in the blender with the yoghurt and water. Amount depends on the consistency you like. Blend. Yum.

Calendula Oil
What
Calendual Petals* (Homegrown)
Olive Oil
How
Pluck the flowers, preferably before midday and then let them dry up in the sun just a bit, so some of the fluid evaporates and you’ll have less risk of mould. Pluck out the petals, make sure to clean them gently form earth, insects and other dirt. Put them in a clean, steril char and douse them with the oil of your choice. Let them draft for a few weeks in a light warm spot (not direct sunlight) for a few weeks, turn daily and wait until it screams: I’m ready. Then enjoy your personal healing oil pure or as a base for ointments etc.

Cherry-Pastry
or what I would call a fruity topfengolatsche
What
Puff Pastry*
Curd Cheese*
Egg yolk*
Cherries (homegrown)
1 tsp honey
How
Pluck the cherries from your favourite tree (tell the tree thank you) and remove leaves, stems and wash them. Remove the stone and chop them in little pieces. Whip up the Curd cheese and mix some honey in it. Then roll out the pastry, cut it in 6 equal squares. Spread the curd cheese in the pastry-suqares, but spare enough edge so you can still fold them. Then add the cherries on top. Then fold in the edges. Crack an egg, separate the yolk. Whip it up with a fork and then brush it on your pastries. Bake them in the oven at 180° for about 20mins until the dough has risen and is cripsy golden-brown.
