These delicate rolls are a marvel of culinary ingenuity, crafted without a single drop of oil. The magic lies in a special kind of glutinous rice, which transforms into a soft, chewy pancake that holds a sweet, nutty filling of toasted sesame and rich jaggery sugar.

A mayonnaise made with the cooking liquid from canned chickpeas, known as aquafaba. It has all the flavor, texture and creaminess of regular mayonnaise but without any eggs or dairy.

Black eyed pea and shrimp fritters with a crunchy texture and a mild nutty flavor with hints of shrimp. Split them open and stuff with various fillings.

A refreshing and spicy take on the classic cold soup. The corn croutons add a delightful crunch.

Thin sheets of puréed fresh peaches, dried slowly in a low oven until chewy, then cut into strips and rolled. Nothing is added except a little lemon juice and nutmeg, so the snack tastes of ripe peaches and nothing else.

This eggplant spread is great on crackers, or toasted bread.

Serve this chilled avocado cream as a cold appetizer or as refreshing snack.
