Food from Friends enters the second round.
This time I visited Mimi and Rose from Mimirosefoodlove.

Food from Friends is a project dedicated to the joy of cooking and savoring in company. From time to time I get to visit people I appreciate or strangers I want to get to know and together we prepare their favourite dish. You can see the result of our efforts in the form of a little story with a recipe here on Purple Avocado.

Mimi and Rose are as new to the food blogging universe as I am. Consequently we had to do a cooking project together.

I know Mimi from my school days and we already had two photo shootings together (there’s also quite an entertaining anectode about a barstool).

Mimis and Roses Foodblog is a versatile collection of fresh and light dishes and lovely baked goods that sound too good to not to try.

Hence, for our joint cooking afternoon we prepared a crisp and fresh salad with homemade sesame fish sticks as well as some matcha cupcakes with coconut cream and fresh berries.

Matcha Cupcakes with Coconut Cream

If you want to create those beautiful matcha cupcakes yourself, you can find the recipe on Mimirosefoodlove: Matcha Cupcakes with Coconut Cream and Berries
The recipe is currently only available in German, but Mimi and Rose are working hard to provide an English version soon as well.

A very simple yet very effective and delicious recipe. Especially the coconut cream delighted the three of us immensely.

Fish sticks in sesame crust

The recipe for the salad with sesame fish sticks is available on my site, scrolling a little further down. The effort compared to the taste was pretty minimal. Merely the sesame crust for the fish takes some time (but it’s so totally worth it guys!)

Fresh spinach will form the basis of this summery salad together with cherry date tomatoes. Some crisp green asparagus and creamy avocado complete the arrangement. The protein source of this dish will be salmon filet that mimi and rose covered in a crust of dark and light sesame / oats. Doesn’t it look beautiful bubbling in the pan?
The dressing with soy sauce, oil and rice syrup is extremely easy and quick to make and underlines all the other tastes decently.
