Remember all those Custard Apples I got a while back? Well I'm working through the alarmingly decreasing supply in my freezer and this is the latest incarnation. Lassis are traditionally made from mango, but pairing the luscious custard apple flesh with cardamom and yogurt was one of the first things that came to mind, so I went with it. The fruit purees much like mango - creamy and sweet - so it just made sense. Because I like really thick smoothies I used the fruit frozen rather than … [Read more...]
Vegan Creme Anglaise
wake up late, lie in bed listening to the chatter downstairs and smelling the fresh baked muffins put on fleece pants hang around, eat muffins, drink tea change from old sleeping t-shirt into old daytime t-shirt, begrudgingly change out of fleece pants for slightly more acceptable cargos do not put on makeup take pictures of farm, eat grapes off vines, wander around in barn, cook a bit, hang around fend off advances of grandmother bearing more muffins, drink tea chat … [Read more...]
Winter White Bean & Kale Soup
There is a saying in Australia - 'does what it says on the tin'. This is that, but without the tin. It is - depending on your hemisphere, the end or beginning of - winter, there is kale, and beans. Voila we have soup. I used proper dried white beans since I knew in the morning I wanted to make it for dinner, but canned works just fine. Kale is perfect but silverbeat, chard, or any dark leafy green would be just as good. Same deal wth the veggies - feel free to clean out the crisper. After … [Read more...]

Activated Almonds, Walnuts & Brazil Nuts
I had that look in my eye. The slightly crazy one that says I am getting hangry, keep all hands away from the cage lest you lose a finger... Soothing words uttered in dulcet tones do not help this hungry/angry low blood sugar situation - well unless those words are 'here is some food to eat'. Nor does distraction - unless distraction is delivered as food. Are you catching on? Needless to say, I have learned over the years to never be without snacks. Nuts, apples, carrots - they float … [Read more...]
Cauliflower & Broccoli Soup with Garlic Chips
I've been churning out the soups this winter. I make a huge pot on the weekend and take it for lunch pretty much every day for the next week. Sometimes I have it with bread, other times I stir through a handful of beans or some cooked quinoa or brown rice. This soup is amazingly creamy for having no cream in it. The garlic and oil make it a little bit fancy. ~~~ Creamy Vegan Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup INGREDIENTS: 1 brown onion, diced 1 large or 2 medium cloves garlic, peeled … [Read more...]
Paleo Coconut & Berry Cobbler
Things have been a bit more frantic than usual lately... I know, hard to believe, but we are leaving on an extended holiday in just over 24 hours and the amount of general stuff left to do is astronomical. RJ is up to his elbows in spreadsheets, I am knee deep in laundry - about 90% of it clean at least, and 'thank goodness we have one more day' was uttered a minimum of 10 times yesterday. Uh-oh, we no longer have another day - yikes. On the upside, almost all of the flights are booked - … [Read more...]
