No rants or long stories today, just an "I could totally make this myself" recipe inspired by a stunning jar of marinated goat cheese. The cheese, along with copious cups of tea and a plate of fruit and veggies, eased the pain of a Sunday afternoon brainstorming session one weekend a couple months back. A few weeks later -- when the meeting location moved to my living room for a photo shoot -- I figured it was only fitting I work out a way to replicate the tangy, herb-infused … [Read more...]
Vegan Lemon Custard Cheesecake Bars {GF VG DF SF}
We weren't a family that had sweets on-hand very often. Cereal couldn't have sugar as either of the first two ingredients listed; cookies and ice cream did not make regular appearances; dessert after dinner wasn't really a feature. But when there were sweets, we went all out -- perhaps that's why desserts from my childhood are captured so vividly in my memory. The usual suspects of Pumpkin Pie and cookies through the holiday season. Piping hot triangle-shaped doughnuts on Thanksgiving … [Read more...]
Singapore Chilli Crab deja vu
Remember how I said I was going to work my way through drafts and archives? This is one of those, originally posted back in 2011 only to be re-made and photographed in March of last year -- which of course means I want to go through the whole dance again for better photos... —— It is spicy and messy in the best way possible. It takes ages to eat due to the process of picking the meat from the shells. It should be served on a newspaper-covered table while wearing clothes that are easy to … [Read more...]
Ooey-Gooey Gluten-Free Brownies
I could have called these the best gluten free brownies, ever; or perhaps secret ingredient brownies; or maybe even compost brownies; but ooey-gooey was simply too good a description to pass up. SEO be damned. These brownies, of course, have a touch of mad-science inspiration driving them forward ... but first a bit of background. Remember when I won that juicer a few months ago? Well RJ and I have been taking full advantage of summer fruit and veggies for juicing, but each time we'd … [Read more...]
Slow Smoked Pepper-Crusted BBQ Brisket
Remember how I said I was going to work my way through drafts and archives? This is one of those, written in the beginning of December 2013 then filed away (but certainly not forgotten) in favour of far too many Christmas dessert recipes, it happens. In any case, instead of changing it to suit late summer I'm leaving it as is, because I can. Stay tuned for all the sides too. ------ Yesterday (well yesterday when I wrote this on 2 December) was the first day of summer in Sydney. For some … [Read more...]
Lamington Fudge Bites – Vegan and Soy-Free
My 3rd blogiversary (in early November) passed before I realised it had arrived. I let Thanksgiving slide by without a mention or a single pumpkin recipe. I managed to outdo myself in December -- with no less than three truffle recipes, two cookies, a pie, an ice cream bombe and some spiced syrup -- but the other day another milestone crept quietly past. I only remembered the day after, while sitting at lunch with a client no less, that I had arrived in Australia 12 years ago intending to … [Read more...]
BBQ Spice Rub
Remember how I said I was going to work my way through drafts and archives? This is one of those, draft started Feb 2013, recipe longer ago than that. I've subsequently run out of this rub and now need to make more. ------ Summer is here and summer -- no matter what side of the world you are on -- means barbeque, barbecue, bbq. I created and photographed this rub ages ago. It was for ribs that made it to the dinner table but never made it any further because they needed refinement. … [Read more...]
