It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — as seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order. As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans It has been a bit of a slow month (at least compared to the usual influx of stuff that seems to pass through) but there has certainly been pumpkin, lots and lots of roasted pumpkin. Mainly for pie, and then mini-pies, and … [Read more...]
Vegan Pineapple Pancakes & Spiced Rum Caramel Syrup
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...]
Triple Ginger, Fig & Macadamia Cookies & a Free Cookie e-book!
The scent of cookies fresh from the oven is simply intoxicating. It stops people in their tracks as their eyes glaze over and their speech trails off. "Oh, are you baking cookies?" is uttered with an air of desperate nonchalance, darting glances search for a serving plate or cooling rack. Cookies don't require formality, although they are equally at home perched daintily on the edge of a china saucer as clasped in a grubby toddler hand. They can be delicate and crisp, soft and oozy, … [Read more...]
Macadamia & Coconut Granola – gluten, dairy, fructose free
3 days. 3 days until we're sitting on an airplane headed to America-land. 3 days of blur. The past few weeks have flown by in a flurry of editing and technical-publishing-learning-as-I-go-blah-blah and food photography and art direction. It will continue up until the moment we leave, and quite possibly for a bit while we are away, and as a result the impending holiday is proving a bit more laced with stress than anticipation. Incidentally, any recommendations on things to do and places to … [Read more...]
Raw Macadamia & Salted Caramel Pie Crust
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...]
Vegan Chocolate Fudge, PLUS 11 flavour twists
Chocolate always wins. It really isn't fair to everything else - the noodle soups, the sides, the dips, the salads - always take second at best. Poor fried rice, you can come to my house any day. Ok, so what am I on about? You see, I have an enormous backlog of posts... While I do enjoy the picture editing and post writing, I'd rather create and cook and photograph over anything else, and as I'm at home during the day most of my meals get styled and propped before being eaten. So over the … [Read more...]
