Preparation:
1/ Wash, peel and chop vegetables.
2/ Fill a bowl with lukewarm water. Soak the rice paper (about 30sec) in water until it is slightly softened. Transfer the rice sheet to a lightly moistened surface (or a clean damp cloth).
3/ Put the ingredients together one by one towards the bottom of the rice paper.
4/ Place 3 edible flowers towards the top of the rice sheet.
5/ Begin folding/rolling, bringing the bottom of the rice paper over the ingredients and locking it underneath the filling, so that it is tightly packed.
6/ Fold the right side then the left side towards the center and continue to roll firmly until sealed.
7/ Arrange the Flower Power Rolls on a plate and serve with the creamy chaga sauce.
Health benefits of Chaga
Called "The Mushroom of Immortality" by the Siberian shamans and the "Diamond of the Forest" by the Japanese, Chaga lives up to its nickname of "King of Medicinal Mushrooms" because it is one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world. It draws its nutrients from the inner layers of the bark of the tree on which it grows - normally birches. Chaga is classified as an adaptogen, so it has the ability to help our body adjust to various stress factors. It has one of the highest levels of antioxidants out of all foods, which works to protect DNA, slow the aging process, promote cell renewal and even provide skin protection from UV-induced damage.
Chaga is rich in beta-glucans - one of the most powerful and healing polysaccharides known. It is known for its role in activating the immune system and reducing blood sugar levels in people with abnormal blood sugar spikes. But the benefits of the chaga mushroom extend well beyond that; it is also anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-aging and helps to restore cholesterol levels and blood pressure. This powerful mushroom is one of the most alkaline foods due to its dense mineral content: calcium, cesium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, rubidium, silicon and sulfur and extremely rich in zinc.
At Absolution, we like to work with the best of nature. If we are accustomed to consuming Chaga to heal our body, why deprive ourselves of its virtues to heal our skin? We are pleased to introduce you to our new preventive cream, La Crème Beau Jour, in which you will find this mushroom of immortality.
About Eva Gaillot
Chef, author, creative cook, self-taught and passionate about plant-based cooking, plants and ayurveda after living in India, Eva Gaillot created The French Coconut in 2015 to be able to share her passion, her recipes and her discoveries. " By creating The French Coconut, I wanted to inspire and make people enthusiastic about plant-based cooking, to show that it can be both tasty, healthy and convivial, and to remind them of the importance of seasonal, organic and local products.” In her first cookbook, "Ma Cuisine Vegan du Soleil", published in June 2020, Eva delved into the traditional Provençal dishes of her childhood, and presents a plant-based version of Provençal and Mediterranean flavors in fresh, colorful and tasty recipes that blend simplicity and conviviality with pleasure.

We wanted to learn more about her skincare routine
1/ When did you discover Absolution and by which product?
I discovered Absolution in 2018, the first product I bought and quickly adopted was Le Sérum Anti-Soif, which I still use today.
2/ Your Absolution must-have(s)?
La Brume Systémique… Its neroli and hamamelis scents are both soothing and invigorating. It's my first beauty step in the morning and it' s as essential to my daily ritual as my matcha to start the day! I also really enjoy the different masks that I use depending on the season and the needs of my skin. At the moment I am using the multi-masking method with Le Masque Riche Réconfortant to come out of winter well hydrated and Le Masque Pureté Détoxifiant to welcome spring with a clear and healthy skin.
3/ What are your "better-aging"?
Drink water, have a conscious, plant-based and nutrient-rich diet, take care of your microbiota and your hormonal balance, avoid stress factors as much as possible and learn to manage them.... and above all cultivate your inner light. Not forgetting, of course, a complete Absolution routine adapted to the needs of your skin.
