100% raw food burger

These are the ones we present to you now totally raw burger. No ingredient in the dough is previously cooked.
The secret of these burgers is the use of Chia seeds or flax seed that once crushed to the mortar they become a kind of flour with a thickening power, releasing a particular gel in contact with water.
To prepare a completely raw food burger then you have to pound or even chop two or three tablespoons of flaxseed or chia and then mix them with a cup of water and with the vegetable pulp of your choice like carrots, leeks, celery and whatever you prefer and that can be eaten raw.
These burgers are made by blending all the ingredients together and once they are made they are cooked in a dryer or in an oven, but at a very low temperature, at less than 50 °!

50% raw food burger

In this case we always talk about raw burger even if we actually use the legumes in glass to prepare the base compound.
For a compact mix, in fact, it is necessary to use something that keeps all the ingredients together as precisely chickpeas, or lentils or beans, which however have been previously cooked.
We suggest you always choose the legumes stored in glass that should be rinsed very well and then shakes.
Burgers prepared with a legume base go stored in the refrigerator in order not to lose compactness.

Other uncooked ingredients

You can add other raw, uncooked ingredients to your raw or partially raw burger.
Among the vegetables you can opt for zucchini (but only the green outer part), cauliflower, carrots and celery.
For a bit of flavor, aim at capers, dried tomatoes and olives.
In spring and early summer peas and broad beans they will be magical ingredients!
Finally, if you like strong and somewhat strong tastes, don't give up onion and garlic.

Spices and herbs to play with flavors

The most creative part of this really basic recipe is the addition of colors, flavors and aromas.
With the spices and the herbs you can do a lot of things and above all you can avoid adding too much salt.
Some idea? Chickpeas are great with curry and paprika, the beans with the parsley and the lentils with the mint.

How to compose raw burgers if not with bread?

Not being able to use the bread that is cooked, you must necessarily opt for fresh or cooked ingredients in a dryer. Try to put the burgers inside a tomato or avocado cut in half, for example. Two original and very funny ideas that will leave your guests speechless.
If you want something crunchy, then use a portobello mushroom, always divided into two parts like a sandwich, dried at 40 ° for about 10 minutes.

Raw sauces

As in any self-respecting burger, even in raw burgers can not miss sauces.
Prepare them with lo yogurt or even with the avocado pulp or with soy milk, lemon juice and seed oil to make one Vegan mayonnaise, even if the classic mayonnaise is equally raw, therefore absolutely granted.

Some possible combinations.

Some idea to prepare raw burger compounds?
Try, for example, by blending the chickpeas with dried tomatoes, fresh oregano, a little oil and a little feta.
Good also the one based on Spanish beans smoothies with leek, pre-cooked red turnip, oat flakes softened in water and dried thyme.
With the lentils instead we suggest you blend Tropea onion, a little oil, mint, avocado pulp and black olives.
All three compounds are left in the refrigerator for at least an hour before being shaped to become burgers.
With the crushed and softened flax seeds in water you can blend carrots, a piece of onion, celery and courgette peel, also adding oats softened in water to give a little more compactness.

let's start with vinegar and baking soda! – Italian Cuisine

let's start with vinegar and baking soda!


Using chemical detergents can often cause allergies or irritations: cleaning can be done more ecofrendly, with two natural products such as vinegar and bicarbonate

Thanks to the light of the sun that illuminates all the interiors of the house, dust and various stains on the surfaces jump for all to see. It's time for great spring cleaning and if you don't know which detergents to use to make everything shine, rely on grandma's advice: vinegar and baking soda they will solve every problem, without making you spend a lot and winking at the environment

Vinegar, from pots to clothes

It is appropriate to say that with vinegar you can clean everything. If you have tiles and porcelain stoneware in your home, nothing better than vinegar will remove impurities and give new light to the floor. Dilute a glass in the bucket with water and you're done. Vinegar is also perfect for cleaning glass: dilute it in water, pour it into a spray and clean all glass surfaces, from windows to tables, without having to rinse. Do you have shower siphons clogged with limestone? Nothing better than vinegar for dissolve all deposits: dismantle the piece, leave it immersed in a bowl with pure vinegar all night long and rinse it off the next day and replace it. This treatment is also useful for descaling dishwashers and washing machines: just set a complete washing cycle by pouring a liter of vinegar into the basket or directly into the dishwasher.

Baking soda, a perfect antifungal and anti-mold

Sodium bicarbonate can be used diluted or dry. To brighten up the color of carpets or sofas, for example, you can spread a small amount of bicarbonate on the surface to be treated, let it work for about two hours, and then vacuum it up. The bicarbonate treatment is used to keep mites away, so it is essential for those who are allergic. Secco is also perfect for absorbing mold from walls: leave a full bowl near the wall to be treated and slowly you will see the moisture disappear. Once exhausted, after about two months, replace it, and throw the old one in the toilet drain, it will help to remove the limestone. Diluted instead in water it is ideal to remove the scale deposits on the enamelled surfaces of faucets and shower traps. Rub the surfaces to be treated with a sponge and baking soda and then rinse. If you then have an oven full of stains, put in a lot of baking soda, sprinkle hot water over it, let it work for one night and then the next day wipe it with a sponge: marks and grease stains will have disappeared!

Classic Tiramisu recipe in baking dish – Italian Cuisine


  • 1 Kg mascarpone
  • 400 g sugar
  • 12 pcs egg yolks
  • 20 cups of espresso coffee
  • 16 pcs large soft ladyfingers
  • bitter cocoa

For the classic pan-fried tiramisu recipe, whisk the egg yolks and sugar for at least 10 minutes with an electric whisk or planetary mixer until you get a very light and frothy mixture. Add the mascarpone and continue to whisk for no more than 5 minutes: at the beginning very slowly then slightly increasing the speed.
To make tiramisu: Spread a layer of mascarpone cream in a baking dish (35 × 28 cm). Wet the ladyfingers in unsweetened coffee. Squeeze them by pressing them carefully so as to remove the excess liquid. In order not to break them, use a scoop when lifting them from the coffee. Place 8 of them on the cream, side by side, so as to form the first layer. Cover them with cream, continue with 8 more ladyfingers dipped in coffee, finish with a generous layer of cream and sprinkle with bitter cocoa. Seal the pan with the plastic film and place it to cool in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
