Back in January I posted those lovely Loaded Oats for the New Year and declared that I was going to attempt to share more real food and less desserts. Yeah, that lasted about a week. In an attempt to get back to real food I bring you a second porridge recipe for the second month of the year. It's only pretending a little bit to be dessert. The stone fruit this summer has been lovely and this treat was inspired by peach crumble and peach pie and peach cake, then all wrapped up in oats and … [Read more...]
Pink (I may not tell you what is in this) Pie
As I stood in my kitchen the other day I surveyed the goodies I'd been collecting from various markets. The erubescent beets and the ambrosial mango winked at at each other from across the bench-top. I resisted at first. But I was in a mood. I blame it on the purple carrots. I found some organic ones a few weeks back. I made pie with them. It was just a test, a quick experiment to see how it went. I'm in love. I've been on the hunt for more purple carrots ever since. I've just missed them at … [Read more...]
Almond and Cornmeal Pie Crust
When confronted with something as fabulous as Spiced Cherry Pie filling it is quite easy to go right ahead and eat it straight from a baking dish with a spoon. And while that is an amazingly appealing proposition, sometimes you need your pie filling restrained into a festive shape. Like say, a heart for a Lupercalia celebration - heehee. I've mentioned before that I'm not a fan of pie crust. This is a completely different animal all together. A little bit crunchy, a little bit nutty, rich … [Read more...]
Spiced Cherry Pie for Valentine’s Day, or not.
I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day. The idea of a holiday that instills in an entire culture that there is one best day of the year to proclaim your love? Ludicrous. One day to give flowers and chocolate and jewelery? Rubbish. One day on which you are less somehow because you are not partnered up? Insanity. I want romance because the sun is shining, or jewelery because the moon is full, or chocolate because it is Sunday afternoon, not because the greeting card companies say so. … [Read more...]
Nut-tella-type Choc-Hazelnut Spread
I have had this recipe sitting in a notebook, and these pics sitting on my computer, for a while. I've been meaning to make it again and get some better photos, but I have been reasonably chocolate-ed out lately and so it has gone to the wayside. However, today has been claimed as 'World Nutella Day' so even though I will re-make the spread and take new photos eventually, I felt it was my duty to post this today in both celebration and revolt. What's one more chocolate recipe before we get back … [Read more...]
How to: Disco Cake! Chocolate Cake, Sugar Cookie Pops, 2 kinds of Buttercream and lots of sparkle – it’s all happening here.
A few weekends ago I made a cake for my niece's 6th birthday - but this was no ordinary cake. At the core is my go-to Karma Chocolate Cake. There was Chocolate Fudge Icing and Vanilla Buttercream. There were Sugar Cookies as decoration - who uses cookies for decoration??! There were little silver candies and shimmery dusting powder. There were dreamy pink and purple swirls of icing. You see it was a disco party. And a disco party requires none other than a Disco Cake - with stars and … [Read more...]
Caramel Bourbon Bananas and Whipped Coconut Cream
I've been bad. Not bad because I used bourbon yet again. Not bad because I want to put this on everything I eat. Not bad because it is so amazingly addictively good. But bad because I've made you wait over 2 months for the recipe. How dare I. Back in November for our first SABH challenge I made a Deconstructed Chocolate Pavlova topped 4 ways. I made it through the Red Wine Pears and the Zabaglione and the Chocolate Pudding posts but then Christmas hit and I neglected to share my favorite … [Read more...]
