Black beans are a real treasure. They’re packed with proteins, fibres and minerals, and have a meaty texture which makes them popular in vegetarian dishes.

Do you like Brussels sprouts? I started to cook Brussels sprouts only recently and I love them so much. They’re just adorable and so easy to clean and cook. I love Brussels sprouts roasted with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. While roasting they caramelize, soften just enough and become nutty and crispy. My favourite combination…
