Happy Pi Day! That's right, not Pie Day -- that one falls on 23 January each year as declared by The American Pie Council, "the only organisation committed to preserving America's pie heritage ... [to] raise awareness, enjoyment and consumption of pies". But Pi Day -- derived from the date matching the first three digits of Pi, an infinite non-repeating pattern created by the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter aka 3.14159265359andonandonitgoes. Apparently Pi Day was … [Read more...]
Roasted Pear, Parmesan & Spiced Pecan Salad
Another one from the archives, a salad made and shot last September -- after Cape Cod and before our road trip -- at mom's farm. Two weeks amongst row of pears dropping fruit at our feet and grapes staining our fingers purple. Sometimes the words flow and sometimes they don't. Right now they aren't, so instead just some pictures to hopefully brighten your day -- and possibly your dinner. Pictures of medusa-esque pear trees so heavy with fruit they don't know what to do with … [Read more...]
Smokey Beer & Onion BBQ Sauce
Another one from the archives, this sauce was made and photographed as part of that Texas-inspired BBQ Brisket feast back in December. ------ BBQ Sauce makes everything better, simple as that. Eggs? Better with sauce. Tacos? Better with sauce. Burgers? Better with sauce. But most importantly, smoked brisket is most certainly better with a side of rich and fragrant BBQ Sauce for dipping and drizzling. This version is a bit thinner than your more traditional BBQ Sauce, more suited to … [Read more...]
Marinated Goat Cheese
No rants or long stories today, just an "I could totally make this myself" recipe inspired by a stunning jar of marinated goat cheese. The cheese, along with copious cups of tea and a plate of fruit and veggies, eased the pain of a Sunday afternoon brainstorming session one weekend a couple months back. A few weeks later -- when the meeting location moved to my living room for a photo shoot -- I figured it was only fitting I work out a way to replicate the tangy, herb-infused … [Read more...]
Sweet Potato Stout Quick Bread
If this is your first time here you may be better served heading over to look at popsicles or brownies and coming back another day... It's been an, interesting, few weeks on a few different fronts and I'm feeling a bit ranty. Still around? Well you've been warned, and as always there is cake at the end so make yourself a cup of tea and take cover. It's not just that I'm ranty, I'm relatively pissed off and generally annoyed -- at people who blame others for their mistakes or don't take … [Read more...]
Vegan Lemon Custard Cheesecake Bars {GF VG DF SF}
We weren't a family that had sweets on-hand very often. Cereal couldn't have sugar as either of the first two ingredients listed; cookies and ice cream did not make regular appearances; dessert after dinner wasn't really a feature. But when there were sweets, we went all out -- perhaps that's why desserts from my childhood are captured so vividly in my memory. The usual suspects of Pumpkin Pie and cookies through the holiday season. Piping hot triangle-shaped doughnuts on Thanksgiving … [Read more...]
Singapore Chilli Crab deja vu
Remember how I said I was going to work my way through drafts and archives? This is one of those, originally posted back in 2011 only to be re-made and photographed in March of last year -- which of course means I want to go through the whole dance again for better photos... —— It is spicy and messy in the best way possible. It takes ages to eat due to the process of picking the meat from the shells. It should be served on a newspaper-covered table while wearing clothes that are easy to … [Read more...]
