I make houmous quite often as it’s an easy dish to prepare when I’m busy or I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. This recipe is vegan, low in fat and healthy. The shop bought houmous has lots of oil, but the traditional recipe is not oily. As I enjoy the

Raw cauliflower cous-cous
I saw a similar recipe in a TV show and I thought it sounds intriguing. So I’ve decided to give it a try. This recipe can also be called cauliflower rice. After preparing the meal hubby asked me what I cooked and, let’s say, he was reluctant. But, in the end, he actually loved it.
