This is my salmon and Chinese cabbage giant roll!























Here's what you need:
  • One Chinese cabbage
  • Two slices of fresh (not smoked) salmon
  • One puff pastry sheet
  • Sesame seeds




 Wash, chop and boil the cabbage for 10 minutes, then drain as much water as possible.












Mince the salmon.









Put in a pan extra-virgin olive oil, chilly peppers and a couple of garlic cloves. When the garlic becomes golden, remove it and carefully add the cabbage. Cook it by stirring for 10 more minutes and add a bit of salt. At the end, sprinkle the cabbage with sesame seeds (and stir again). 


Remove the cabbage from the pan and put it in a plate. Use the same pan to stir-fry (for 2-3 minutes) the salmon strips.



 Season the puff pastry sheet with the cabbage and salmon, roll it and cook it for 40 minutes in a pre-warmed oven (@200 °C)

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
