What to do with all the saved food? Using normal cook books is not a big help when you see yourself confronted with 3 crates of carrots and 4 crates of avocados. Normally there are huge amounts of the same kinds of foods instead of a nicely sorted variety. On this page we'd like to share the solutions we already developed!

Bread
When there's too much bread the obvious solution for Germans are Knödel!
Here's a suggestion on how to prepare vegan Knödel:
- Cut the old bread in small cubes (this is actually the main work)
- Take hot water and put the spices of your choice in, then pour it over the bread cubes
- Mix the bread and the liquid until you have a nice sticky dough (no need to aim for homogeneous consistency)
- Form fist-sized Knödel and boil them in water until they swim
- Enjoy!
Fruits
Dumster-dived a lot of fruit that will soon go bad? No problem at all as soon as you have a blender!
Just prepare a nice and healthy smoothie and make use of any kind of fruits, berries and even leafy greens you find.
If you have a freezer you can also cut the fruit, freeze it and blend it frozen to get delicious ice cream.
In case of ridiculous amounts of fruit there are also the possibilities to cook jams and compotes, or to make juice or wine.
Sweet warm breakfast
This recipe may sound a bit decadent, but we actually had loads of saved chia seeds, cocoabutter and chufli, so we needed to come up with things like the following:
If you have cocoabutter, chufli (Erdmandelpulver), chia seeds and fruits you can make a nice warm breakfast.
You need kakaobutter and melt it. Then you put in one cup of chufli and water and some fruits like apricots, bananas (makes it sweeter) and grapes and cook it.
With the chufli it feels a little bit like sand but not when you add one cup of chia seeds and enough water.
