Passionate food

Roasted Beets, Orange & Fennel Salad
Raspberry & White Chocolate Heart Cookies
Happy Valentine's Day! 

It's said a shortcut to anyone's heart goes through the stomach, so this is how SeeBe tries to accomplish just  that! Making a minimalistic but still passionate Valentine's menu by combining colors, creativity and some interesting ingredients into the dishes.

The salad to the left is incredible  together with different kinds of grilled food, but especially nice to grilled chicken or turkey. The beets are roasted in the oven with a  mix of brown sugar, olive oil and rosemary. After roasting, the beets are cut and mixed together with delicious sweet Florida oranges and Fennel which is considered as an aphrodisiac. Combined together with an oil dressing transforming new colors into a fabulous and heart healthy salad. At last topped with hazelnuts. Poor the wine please!

As an after dinner treat this year I decided to go for the more unconventional white chocolate (which really isn't chocolate at all!) combining it with fresh raspberries to achieve a romantic color into the batter. These cookies are really fast to make since they're made with baking powder.  (It doesn't have to take more than 30 min. including oven time!) The best of all: they're delicious !
