Victoria and Joe opened their first Parisian canteen on the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin in 2016 and have just published a book of tempting recipes, IMA Canteen. Vegetarian cuisine (Massot Editions, 2019). Each month, she will pass by the kitchens of Buddhist News to share her secrets with us.

In three years, Victoria Werlé has developed more than 500 recipes, with touches of the Mediterranean, Asia (purple carrot salad), Eastern Europe (knisch), England (cakes), America from the South… For this first recipe, make way for a dessert!
