Gently baked on the inside and fried until golden on the outside, full of the aroma of cumin, ginger and coriander and soaked up with spicy tomato salsa - this eggplant is almost addictive. The counterpoint to it is creamy cashew cheese. You can buy ready-made cheese in vegan shops or master the method of its preparation yourself. Vlad Suchkov gives a quick and minimally expensive option: you just need to leave the nuts to soak in the refrigerator overnight , and grind them together with special vegan yeast in the morning.

If you want to add a significant dose of fiber, iron and dietary vegetarian protein to your diet along with beans, then here is a way to do it beautifully. The source of additional pleasures here are finely chopped tomatoes, Dijon mustard, sweet and sour Chinese sauce and balsamic cream, which are dressed in moderate doses to the salad to prevent excessive starchiness and monotony of the bean company.

This recipe was invented by Nikolai Bobrov, the chef of the excellent restaurant Tunguska. This stew is not for every day, it will rather look great on a festive table. It is not quick to prepare, and you will need ingredients that require preliminary preparation. For example, first you need to cook a bisque of shrimp shells - it will give the dish a bright strong taste. And you will also need to prepare a strong fish broth in advance (here are detailed instructions on how best to do this) - it also greatly affects the character of the dish. Both can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, then the seafood stew will turn into a simple and quick dish.

The salad from Viktor Beley, concept chef of Seafood Bar, is made according to the principle of "do no harm" - there is nothing overly high-calorie or unhealthy in it, and even mayonnaise mixed with wasabi does not so much weigh down the dressing as add intrigue to the taste. With a hot sauce, the salad made from broccoli, green beans and green onions does not seem overtly herbaceous. And against a green background, the white and pink shrimps look especially elegant.
