Here's the thing about matcha, for as pop-culture as it is at this moment in time it's been around for thousands of years -- and cares non if you love it or hate it. It's amusing you know, how when things become popular people love to loudly proclaim how much they dislike that said thing. There are people who love lemon or chocolate or coffee or caramel and those who don't, yet most people don't feel the need to stand on a soapbox and declare how much they despise one flavour more than … [Read more...]
Buttered Rum Granola
Hot Buttered Rum as granola, now there's a twist on a classic! Sweetly spiced and a little bit decadent, redolent of the warm winter beverage it's named after, this recipe actually doesn't contain any butter (what?!) but instead uses nutritional yeast for a umami buttery flavour. I have a lot of photos for this one yet not many words (can't talk, eating granola). Recipe is below as always. Buttered Rum Granola First up in my Cleaning Out the Cupboard Granola 101 series, … [Read more...]
Cleaning Out the Cupboard Granola 101
A few months back we made the brilliant decision to move out of our (renting-been-there-far-too-long-greedy-landlady-tried-to-raise-the-rent-again-an-enormous-amount) apartment prior to heading off on an 8-week adventure. The combination of downsizing eight years of stuff, packing all my work and craft things, moving it all into storage and packing for the aforementioned holiday nearly broke us, however it also meant I came up with some pretty interesting ways to use all the things in the … [Read more...]
Rainbow Cloud Eggs (or Unicorn Cloud Eggs, if you must)
If you haven't yet been inundated by cloud eggs you may be living in a cave (or perhaps simply don't live on Instagram and Facebook, ahem...). But either way, even if you are familiar with them I can guarantee you've never seen a rainbow/mermaid/unicorn version until now. Unicorn smoothies and mermaid toast are all the brilliantly time-wasting, superfood powdered rage these days, so it was only logical (completely illogical) for me to take the flash in a pan cloud egg craze a ridiculous … [Read more...]
Okonomiyaki Stuffed Sweet Potato
Let's be honest, I could eat sweet potatoes nearly every day. I could also (and usually do) put bonito flakes on almost anything. And these sautéed Brussels sprouts? Don't even get me started... We'll get back to the stuffed sweet potato version in a moment, but for those who aren't aware, Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake -- a savoury one, and more akin to huge fritter if we're being properly descriptive. It's found all over Japan and, not surprisingly, interpreted differently depending on … [Read more...]
No-Knead Hot Cross Buns
Every so often I think that I'd like to be one of those people who post relevant, seasonal, festive recipes for every imaginable holiday... Then reality and life set in and I get over it pretty quickly (haha). But amazingly I've managed to post a hot cross bun recipe every year, except for the first, since I started this little corner of the internet. 2012 kicked off the Easter parade with Sour Cherry, Orange and Earl Grey Hot Cross Buns. 2013 and 2014 were two of my faves with … [Read more...]
Summer Sangria Popsicles (plus a Virgin Sangria option)
I always used to smirk at those "10 things to do with leftover wine" lists, because who ever has leftover wine? But I somehow became that person who rarely drinks more than one glass in a go, and all of a sudden if a bottle of wine was opened there was almost always a couple of glasses left over. Then one day I horrified a girlfriend (who is a brand manger for a wine company, so rightfully horrified by bad wine habits) by sharing that I was known to re-cap and refrigerate said open bottle … [Read more...]
