A pie filling as luscious and decadent as Raw Banana Cream Pie needed an equally special crust. Dates are nature's caramel after all so it isn't too far a leap to see the dates + sea salt = salted caramel connection. How's that for a raw replacement fix? Add in buttery macadamias and a few other secret ingredients and we have a pie crust made in heaven. Don't forget to pop over to the Raw Vegan Macadamia & Coconut Banana Cream Pie post to check out the rest of the creations in the … [Read more...]
Raw Banana Cream Pie & Whipped Coconut Cream
The full royal moniker of this creation is Raw Vegan Macadamia & Coconut Banana Cream Pie, but in the interest of daily conversation, a shortened version was necessary for public appearances. Yeah, I just compared Price William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor - aka Wills - to a Banana Cream Pie, it happens. And honestly, this luscious creation should be the future king of Pie-land, so it works. In any case, few months back I discovered that Banana Cream Pie is apparently the favourite … [Read more...]
Watermelon & Cucumber Salad with Tahini, Coconut & Lime Dressing
Oh summer, please don't go. You've been nothing but a tease, an irritating teenager, and a raging lunatic for the past two years, but I keep hoping for a reasonable turn. Is it too much to ask for blue sky, reasonable beach temperatures and low humidity on a regular basis? But I must admit, even through the hotter-than-an-oven days and the rain and the indecision, I still love you more than winter. While the weather in Sydney has been schizophrenic at best this summer, the fruit has … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen – February 2013
Here we are halfway through another month and it's time for me to share a bit of what is happening round these parts for Celia’s ‘In My Kitchen’ February linkup... In my kitchen this February: Remember how back in December I burnt out the motor on my food chopper trying to make nut butter? Well I finally pulled our old one out of a storage bin in the garage. I scored this beauty about a decade ago from St Vinnies for something like $20. At the time I was on a work-not-allowed visa, … [Read more...]
100+ alternatives to PB&J
Whether you grew up eating peanut butter & grape jelly every day at school or have never tried the combination, the concept of pairing fruit and nuts is a classic one. But what if you don't eat peanuts - or can't send them to school with your child? What if you're off refined sugar - or live somewhere that doesn't have grape jelly? What if you simply want a change? You're in luck, as there are endless ways to combine seed or nut butters with fruit or fruit spreads - and while … [Read more...]
Lamington Cupcakes & Chocolate Fudge Glaze
For the number of desserts that get shared here most of them are whole grain or gluten free, many are vegan, and almost all are refined sugar free. This isn't a bad thing by any means and as much as I love the challenge of flipping recipes, sometimes I just want to make something classic and naughty. For a while I was making cakes for other people and got to stretch my chocolate-peanut-butter-meringue-raspberry-sauce-cream-cheese-dulce-de-leche-more-chocolate baking muscles on a regular basis … [Read more...]
Pina Colada Rice Pudding, or Rice Porridge. Wait, what time is it…?
I'll warn you in advance, I may be in a mood, I may be writing stream of consciousnesses right now, I may not feel like editing tonight, I may get a bit random. On the other hand, I may not. It's kind of like roulette. However the outcome is tropical and sunny so I'll try not to frighten you too much up front, ok? Great. I always have leftover rice. Always. This situation is primarily due to cooking a full cup of dry rice no matter how much we need - every single time. But the leftovers get … [Read more...]
