36 maltatoday SUNDAY 6 MAY 2018 This Week After years of working in fashion and marketing, I wanted to pursue a different passion and do something that could actively change people's lives. There are so many blogs that promote healthy living but it's not always attainable with a busy schedule so I wanted to do something to fix that. That's how Peas & Love was born. It eventually expanded to children's school lunches with Little Peas & Love. Method 1. This quick and easy vegan curry is creamy and delicious and takes minimal cook- ing time. Simply throw all the curry paste ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth to make your curry paste. Feel free to try different combinations of spices and blends until you find what works for you - cinnamon for a sweeter taste, more chilli if you prefer your curries hot. 2. Heat up coconut oil in a pan and throw in your chopped up cauliflower florets and chickpeas, cook these for 5 minutes then add your curry paste. Allow the curry paste and vegetables to heat through for approximately 5 minutes then add 100 ml of boiling water – bring this to the boil for 5 mins and then add your coconut milk, spinach, nuts and any other ingredients you choose to throw in and allow it to cook on high heat for approximately 5 mins. Turn down the heat and allow it to simmer until the water reduces and the curry thickens. Taste and adjust season- ing – if desired – add a sprinkle of brown sugar for a sweeter curry. 3. Once your curry is nice and creamy, serve it on some fluffy basmati rice or with pop- padom.

Vegan Korma Style Curry Domaines Ott: By. Ott Rose' Producer Information Domaines Ott* was founded in 1912 by Marcel Ott, an agricultural engineer from Alsace who dreamed of establishing a great wine estate near the Mediterranean. Today, the wineries are owned and managed by Champagne Louis Roederer and produce some of the world's most prestigious wines, but particularly rosé wines, made at distinctively different estates in Bandol and Côtes de Provence appellations. Regarded as the "gold standard of rosé" by The Wall Street Journal, in 2016 Domaines Ott* has released a new cuvée, By. Ott. Made in Château de Selle's completely new cellar, part of the winery is exclusively dedicated to making By. Ott. The grapes are hand picked, followed by strict and selective sorting on tables and an extremely delicate pressing process of whole bunches with a super short maceration to produce the beautiful light colour. Slow fermentation takes place in thermo-regulated vats BY. OTT is an elegant extension to the Domaines Ott* range, and a truly Provençal wine with conviviality and friendship at its heart.
