This must be one of the easiest cakes I've ever made ... Or at least it would have been, had the morning not been a comedy of errors. First up the butter I was melting in the oven (no I don't have a microwave) tipped and spilled as I went to get it out. Interesting upside is that melted butter apparently makes a great cleaner when wiped off the bottom of a hot oven. Who knew. Of course my oven now smells like butter every time it's turned on. Then I completely forgot to put said butter … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Carrot Cake
Hum, it appears any hope of stringing words together in a cohesive sentence has once again left me. I'm blaming it on seemingly never ending days of prep > style > shoot > repeat, occasionally punctuated by sort > sort again > edit > send. Not that I'm complaining -- far from it -- but it seems that spending all day every day in front of a stove and a camera has turned my brain to mush for little other than faffing. In a stand against the mush I've decided it's … [Read more...]
Chocolate Tahini Spread (aka Nut-free Not-tella)
Do you know what today is? It's World Nutella Day! Let's all cheer and get hopped up on sugar and palm oil! Wait, that isn't right... is it? Please indulge me for a moment as we hop into the time-machine -- help yourself to a cup of tea or a shot of bourbon and remember to buckle your seatbelt as we flash-back to my original anti-Nutella post three years ago: ... On the World Nutella Day site the founders claim: Nutella is more than just a “chocolaty hazelnut spread,” it is a way of … [Read more...]
Summer Fruit Platter Smoothie
Ok, ok, so you're probably not going to make a fruit platter for the sole purpose of throwing it all in a blender. BUT if you were to make a fruit platter for a bbq and end up with leftovers once the festivities ended, throwing it all in a blender the next day would be the perfect solution to reclaiming your fridge shelf back. That said, 'Leftover Fruit Platter Smoothie' didn't quite have the same ring to it, so 'Summer' won. On the other hand if you had a crowd for breakfast … [Read more...]
Broccoli & Parmesan Pasta
I probably should have called this Green & Gold Pasta and pretended that it was entirely planned in advance for Australia Day. But you and I both know you'd see straight through that one -- and besides when I plan posts for Australia day they always involve lamingtons -- ha! So why, if not for Australia Day, did I make unintentional green and gold pasta you ask? Well for Secret Recipe Club of course. This month I received the blog Couscous & Consciousness as my assignment and … [Read more...]
Lemon Tahini Sauce
A quick one before the Australia Day long weekend kicks into gear -- the Lemon Tahini Sauce I promised you back on that Mushroom Falafel recipe. My love of tahini is regularly flaunted here and I'll put it on pretty much anything, but it also makes the perfect creamy dressing without a drop of dairy or a single nut in sight. If you're not a tahini fan you may have just not found one you like -- so it's worth trying a few brands as they can vary quite a bit from smooth to bitter and … [Read more...]
Lime Sherbet and a Gin & Tonic Float
Remember when I made those Key Lime Ombre Popsicles? Well it turns out I had more popsicle liquid than patience to make more popsicles -- and in a flash of genius I figured that the combinations would make pretty good sorbets. What I didn't count on was that when frozen, whipped and swirled the texture and flavour of the resulting frozen concoction was the stuff childhood memories are made of. You see we didn't often have ice cream in the freezer growing up but I have a very … [Read more...]
