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...]
Concord Grape Pie & Wholewheat All-Butter Pastry
The summer I made these pies -- a full two years ago, way back in 2012 -- the grapes were so sweet that simmering juice thickened almost instantly without even a hint of extra sugar. Big bunches hung heavy on the vines, biding their time before the plant opened and the harvester ran through. We picked a couple crates of Concords along with the hand-harvested white grapes -- simply because we could. Over the span of two weeks I made Grape & Rosemary Focaccia and Concord Grape Sorbet … [Read more...]
Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bites {Raw, Vegan, Nut-Free, Gluten-Free}
Oatmeal cookies were one of my favourite things growing up. Our go-to recipe was the one on the top of the rolled oat canister -- not the current one or the one before that but the one that existed back in the 80s and to this day still lives on a cardboard cut-out in my mom's recipe box. We always made them with raisins. Those soft, chewy cookies were a special treat, but the best part of baking them was eating the raw dough straight from the bowl. It's been ages since I've made … [Read more...]
Whipped Chocolate Coconut Cream
There's a distinct possibility I neglected to post this recipe back with THAT cake and THAT buttercream (and originally with THOSE brownies). I didn't really like these photos at the time and figured that I'd re-shoot it sooner than later, but life got in the way (as life does), and for the longest time no one asked about the Whipped Chocolate Coconut Cream filling piece of the puzzle... But the aforementioned cake and buttercream eventually set the world (or at least the … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Buttercream (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free & Probably Paleo too)
I'm calling this Vegan Chocolate Buttercream however it may be more aptly named Vegan Chocolate Not-Buttercream due to the omission of the two main ingredients in buttercream -- butter and an enormous amount of sugar. So if this magical creation really is Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free & Probably Paleo how does it exist at all? Air? *whispers* cauliflower. *yells* wait, come back! This is not the first time I've used cauliflower as a dairy … [Read more...]
Best Ever Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (Dairy Free, Nut Free & Probably Paleo too)
This is THAT cake. The one I've been making roughly every other week for the past few months and sharing mercilessly across social media. The one that needs very few words but plenty of photos. The one that stops people in their tracks when they taste it, and again when they realise it's not only gluten free but nut free and dairy free and soy free too, and again when they hear about the frosting. The one I held off on posting until I could justify making a four layer cake by … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Carrot Cake Muffins
Gluten-free, mostly dairy-free, and wholly vegetarian -- but don’t think for a moment that any recipe in My Darling Lemon Thyme - Recipes from my real food kitchen by Emma Galloway is anything less than mouthwatering. I’ve known Emma online for a while, but last year I had to pleasure to meet her in person and have a lovely chat over lunch. A soft-spoken, New Zealand ex-pat, she is amazingly passionate about food and it comes through in every word, recipe and photo on her blog and in her … [Read more...]
