After having steamed and seasoned cauliflower or broccoli leaves, you can use them to dress pasta, prepare soups or as a filling for a savoury cake or fresh pasta. Fruit lends itself to numerous uses in both sweet and savoury pastries, as well as drinks for happy hour. An example is watermelon, which you can use to make a watermelon and tomato gazpacho and a juice by adding peppers and strawberries. Not only that, by roasting the seeds you can enhance smoothies and juices or prepare a kind of butter; with the rind, you can make a marinated carpaccio or a mostarda. To decorate sweets, candied peels can be obtained from oranges, lemons or butternut squash. The leftover pulp of oranges and lemons can be used to make cakes, gelato, popsicles or used in fruit salads. Apple cores can be added to a smoothie, or if pureed on their own they can be used when making a cake. 33
