      <image:title>Recipes - Carrot and Cashew soup - Ingredients</image:title>
      <image:caption>1 kg carrots (about 8 medium carrots), peeled 3–4 tbsp olive oil (plus an extra tablespoon for blending) Handful of raw cashews 3–4 cups water Salt (about 1 tsp recommended) Method Chop &amp; Sear: Peel and chop the carrots and cut them into chunks. Place them in a medium pot. Add the olive oil and turn the heat to high. Roast: Do not touch or stir the pot for 3–4 minutes, until you smell the carrots at the bottom starting to roast and brown. Stir and continue frying while stirring for another 2 minutes. Simmer: Add the raw cashews, salt, and water, then bring to a boil. (The water level should just reach the top of the carrots). Cook: Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 30–40 minutes, until the carrots are very soft (you should be able to mash a piece easily with a fork). Blend: Blend using an immersion blender for 3–4 minutes (yes, really!) or in a standard countertop blender for 2 minutes, until completely smooth. Emulsify: It is highly recommended to drizzle in 1 extra tablespoon of olive oil while blending for an extra silky texture. Adjust &amp; Season: If the soup is too thick, thin it out with a little boiling water. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve: Serve hot topped with chopped green onions. Storage Note: Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Recipes - Divine Almond Cookies - Method</image:title>
      <image:caption>Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan 160°C) and line a baking tray with baking paper. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients until you have a sticky dough that can be shaped into balls. If the mixture is very sticky, add a little more ground almonds. Using your hands, form balls from the dough, roughly the size of a large marble. Place on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between the cookies as they will spread during baking. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until lightly golden. The cookies will still be very soft when you take them out of the oven. Do not leave them in longer. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. As they cool, they will firm up and set. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Recipes - Seed-licious crackers - Method</image:title>
      <image:caption>Turn on the oven to 140 °C fan (120 °C non-fan) and line two baking trays with baking paper. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients to a smooth batter. Let the mix rest for 10 minutes; it will thicken slightly. Divide the mixture in half. Place one half on a lined baking tray, then cover with another sheet of baking paper and press it down with your hands so it’s even and very thin. Repeat with the second half on the other tray. Bake both trays together for 30 minutes, then swap the top tray with the bottom one. Bake another 30 minutes — at this stage, the crackers will look pale and firm. Increase the oven to 170 °C and bake for 10 minutes, then swap trays again. Bake for another 10 minutes at 170 °C. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Once cool, break into pieces and store in a jar. If you want square-shaped crackers, use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter right after you take the trays out of the oven. If any bits in the centre are still soft when you try to break them, pop them back in the oven for a few more minutes at 140 °C, then cool and jar.</image:caption>
