I was going to let Halloween pass by this year with nary a mention. Then the other day, after talking to a girlfriend about her over-the-top ghoulish creation, I was bitten by the trick-or-treat bug. So much as I love the crazy Halloween recipes that float across the interwebz this time of year I find myself sticking with a slightly tamer theme -- if you've been here a while you may recognise the colour combo from my Halloween Ice Cream Bars with Chocolate & Green Goo Magic Shell -- … [Read more...]
Vegan Pineapple Pancakes & Spiced Rum Caramel Syrup
I'm really quite well behaved when dining in public. I know which bread plate and glasses are mine (bread on the left, wine and water on the right) and to keep my napkin on my lap until vacating the table at the end of the meal. I'm well versed in what cutlery to use for what course (start from the outside and move in, thank you very much Pretty Woman) and where to place said cutlery to indicate I've finished (handles at 5 o'clock, fork tongs up to the ceiling or down to the plate depending … [Read more...]
Concord Grape Pie & Wholewheat All-Butter Pastry
The summer I made these pies -- a full two years ago, way back in 2012 -- the grapes were so sweet that simmering juice thickened almost instantly without even a hint of extra sugar. Big bunches hung heavy on the vines, biding their time before the plant opened and the harvester ran through. We picked a couple crates of Concords along with the hand-harvested white grapes -- simply because we could. Over the span of two weeks I made Grape & Rosemary Focaccia and Concord Grape Sorbet … [Read more...]
Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Egg Cups
Remember how I said that I'd been inspired by an asparagus delivery to create a stack of seasonal Spring-inspired recipes? This is the second of those, because brunch. I've been seeing baked egg cups everywhere lately but they're usually lined with ham and have little other than an egg in the centre. Staring at the bunches of asparagus in my fridge reminded me of little trees, and before I knew it I'd created a forrest of spears in salmon lined cups and baked it all together with … [Read more...]
Parmesan Roasted Asparagus
For as much as I've been cooking and photographing food lately it's all been for other people. The mojo to create new things had gone a bit walk-about... but as is the case with life the most simple of things can open the flood gates. If you follow along on Instagram you would have seen the gorgeous delivery of new season asparagus that landed on my doorstep a few weeks back. To say they provided the spark of inspiration I needed would be an understatement. Both RJ and I love … [Read more...]
Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bites {Raw, Vegan, Nut-Free, Gluten-Free}
Oatmeal cookies were one of my favourite things growing up. Our go-to recipe was the one on the top of the rolled oat canister -- not the current one or the one before that but the one that existed back in the 80s and to this day still lives on a cardboard cut-out in my mom's recipe box. We always made them with raisins. Those soft, chewy cookies were a special treat, but the best part of baking them was eating the raw dough straight from the bowl. It's been ages since I've made … [Read more...]
Strawberry Scrolls
These babies are the result of a tryst between strawberry pie and a cinnamon roll... or more accurately a deep craving on my part for both. You see for some unknown reason cinnamon scrolls have been everywhere recently, and on top of that winter in Sydney means being simply inundated with strawberries (not that there's anything wrong with that). Berries and rolls taking over my Instagram feed as America-land gorges on cinnamon and summer. Berries taking over the supermarket shelves … [Read more...]
