After months of watching other people head off on holidays, RJ and I are finally taking a break and making our way through America-land for a few weeks. In my absence the lovely Claire is here to ply you with treats. You may remember Claire from a few months back when I guest posted over on her site - she was one of those aforementioned holidaying people - and it's great to have her here. Thanks again! (Oh, and if you want to follow our eating adventure holiday, Instagram is probably … [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...]
Moroccan Quinoa, Avocado & Orange Salad
I mentioned in my last post that I'd received a crate of oranges recently, and rather than just eating one each day I challenged myself to do something different with them all. I was so pleasantly surprised with some of the combos I came up with and this salad was one of my faves. Fruit in salad can freak me out a bit - perhaps too many years of bad 90's raspberry vinaigrette has scarred me for life - but oranges are a great way to add a bit of a sweet/tart bite to winter … [Read more...]
Almond Croissants – the makeover edition
I once read in a book that there is no such thing as a coincidence. The story went that when something or someone repeatedly crossed your path there was a cosmic reason behind it. The author continued on to explain that you should not just dismiss these occurrences as coincidence, but actively pursue them to determine how it could change the path of your life. Of course the people in this book, if I remember correctly, could also see energy and eventually crossed into another astral … [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...]
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...]
Basil & Walnut Pesto
She unconsciously hummed along with the music playing in the background, humm de dum de da. It was from Milan she explained, as a smile triggered by an ancient memory flitted across her face. The heavy wooden chopping board belonged to her mother, the cleaver had been borrowed from my mother and the basil was picked just moments before from her own garden. Ro was chopping up herbs for pesto, again, it was the third time in two weeks. My grandmother still makes her pesto the old way. … [Read more...]
