Vegan berry bars

Hi, I’m Lika, I am 19 years old. At first, when I started cooking, it was more of an expression of my desire for independence, but over time, that process became an integral part of my life.
From the age of 10 I was preparing dishes, desserts and sharing them with everyone, and the positive emotions received from them were my main driving force that motivated me to do more. I was 14 years old when I decided to make cooking my profession.
I enrolled in a culinary academy at the age of 17 and from the very first minutes of working in a large, professional kitchen, I was convinced that I was exactly in a place where I could feel the great happiness. I am planning to abroad in the future to improve my knowledge and experience. - Lika Esaiashvili

Take a small piece of dough, plasticize and freeze it for a while (we will use it for topping). Roll out the remaining dough into a parchment-covered dish, make sure that the dough is completely covering the baking dish, and then put it in the fridge to prepare the berry jam.

Put berries, honey (60 g), lemon zest, lemon juice, chia in a small saucepan. Let stand for 1-2 minutes over medium heat until bubbles emerge. Mash the berries with a fork or a fork and masher and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, stir continuously so that it does not burn.
