Well, well, well it's been a while between In My Kitchen posts now hasn't it. But I'm back (from the holidays that fed Instagram until it had to put on elastic waist pants, yet neglected proper posts until even the tumbleweeds lost interest) with an overflowing batch of three months worth of IMK goodies. As per usual this is a collection of things seen over on Instagram — reasonably edited, grouped in loosely interpreted categories and appearing no particular order. You've totally missed … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: August 2015
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order… ------ Kitchen Shenanigans I decided one night a few weeks back that I needed to bake bread. I didn't measure, kneaded and rested randomly, and ended up with the best loaf I've made in years (wholewheat, whole spelt blend). Lunch the next day (where I took time out from … [Read more...]
Creamy Spiced Apple-Nog (aka Vegan Egg-Nog)
Huh, well it seems that between a Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake last week and a twist on Egg-Nog this week I've unintentionally set the scene for Christmas in July. How terribly festive of me (or more appropriately what a terribly appropriate response to my perpetual complaining about how cold I am...). Maybe I should have convinced RJ to let me leave the tree up for another month. So how did I come to make a concoction named Apple-Nog (or Not-Egg-Nog as I've been affectionately calling it) … [Read more...]
Gluten-Free & Vegan Banana Bread Pancakes
It's nearing the end of yet another month (what? WHAT? sigh.) and that means it's time once again for Secret Recipe Club! *applause, applause* Oh thank you, thank you. No, no, please take your seats, there will be plenty of time to cheer later. And why, pray tell will there be cheering later? Well this month my SRC assignment was Feed Me Seymour, a delicious little corner of the internet created by Kim -- a food editor based in Annapolis -- and once again I was spoilt for … [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...]
Strawberry & Blood Orange Frozen Margarita
There I go again, making summery, freezing cold treats in the dead of winter. Ironically this delectable beverage is, well other than the frozen bit, entirely seasonal. You see while strawberries are ripe for the picking (pun entirely intended) in NSW during late spring and early summer, they roll out of tropical Queensland by the tonne all winter long. They are sweeter and juicer and less expensive now, even being shipped a state down, than they are coming from only an hour or two away … [Read more...]
Fresh-Baked Bagel for One (Honey Wholewheat & Cinnamon Raisin)
It is decidedly shortsighted to make only one bagel, especially a bagel this good. Perhaps that is why in the past 36 hours I've made this recipe three times. Bagels -- for anyone who has ever eaten a proper one and knows how very different they are to a roll with a hole in the centre masquerading as a bagel -- can be a touchy subject. They must be dense enough to hold up to a shmear or gooey cheese egg, chewy on the outside due to boiling before baking, but just tender enough in the centre … [Read more...]
