You know I love to tease a bit and split up recipes... this is the perfect example. Purple Pie filling a few days ago, today the crust to put it in! I adore this crust. I discovered it ages ago over on Maria's site, made it that very evening and filled it with some form of spiced sweet potato custard, made it again for pumpkin tarts around Christmas and again for the first test of my Purple Carrot Pie a few months back! I was hesitant at first though, and couldn't quite understand how … [Read more...]

Whole Wheat Pumpkin & Chestnut Bread
So when the chestnuts showed up at my door I first had to work out what to do with them. I wanted to go beyond just chopping them up and adding them to something else. But what to use, and what to make? Pumpkin was top of mind and a quick search confirmed that the flavour would go well with chestnuts. I was determined to make a treat that was healthy and delicious. Chestnuts on their own are a fantastic source of nutrition - fibre, calcium, potassium, a bit of protein, no cholesterol … [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...]
Black and White Wednesday – Pie Crust Prep
Remember the Whole Spelt Pie Crust from a few weeks back? Look at me being all dramatic and artsy photographing the dirty dishes... Now excuse me while I put on a beret and sunglasses for this next statement... for posting in The Well Seasoned Cook's Black and White Wednesday I call this picture: After the Pie Crust This has been a interruption to your regularly scheduled programing. Now go make some Pie. … [Read more...]
Whole Spelt Pie Crust
HEY, HEY YOU! I've recently updated this recipe over here -- you may want to pop over and use the new one instead! It's been refined over the past five years but I wanted to keep this one (instead of doing a 301 redirect for all you good blogger types) because I do think it's important to keep a record of where you've been. ~ JJ --------- I probably shouldn't start a pie crust post by telling you that I don't really like crust. Scandalous isn't it? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, and … [Read more...]
Ode to Pumpkin
Pumpkin rose to fame under the guise of a split personality - playing both the princess and the evil stepmother with aplomb. On one hand, puffed up and polished within an inch of its life as the golden carriage every little girl wanted to get married in. On the other, carved away and lit from the inside to reveal its inner daemons and protect houses from the spirits of All Hallows Eve. But in all its glory it was still just the bridesmaid - second to a glass slipper and piles of candy, … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Hummus
I eat about 5 times a day. And regularly carry nuts and apples in my bag when I go out for the day [yep, I’m a bit like a 4 year old but at least I can pack my own snacks]. So I am constantly on the hunt for healthy in-between meal type things that aren't always carb based. Hummus from the store tends to have all kinds of crap in it and some pretty odd tastes depending what brands you get, yet it is SOOO easy to make yourself. This has bit of a twist on the traditional stuff but it … [Read more...]
