We added another doona onto the bed the other night. The heater in the lounge room is getting a workout - as is the power bill I'm sure. I pretty much live in an ancient cashmere jumper and occasionally layer it with a puffy down vest. I haven't taken off my Ugg boots in days. Can you tell I don't do winter very well? So why on earth am I making sorbet? Well it uses the best of local NSW winter citrus, and not quite as local Queensland winter passionfruit to create an instant tropical … [Read more...]
Spicy Passionfruit, Coconut & Prawn Lettuce Wraps
A tangy, sweet, spicy, crunchy explosion of flavor and texture. A dose of summer in the middle of winter. A slightly unexpected combination that turned out simply perfect... Can you tell I'm kind of in love with this recipe? Even the colours make me happy. This is not the first time passionfruit has appeared round these parts, but it is usually included in a dessert such as Passionfruit & Coconut Self-saucing Pudding Cake or this insane White Chocolate Cream Cheese Passionfruit … [Read more...]
Moroccan Lamb Shanks & Gremolata
There is something wonderfully satisfying about a slow cooked stew in winter. Given, I don't eat this one myself but every now and then RJ asks for it by name and I simply can't resist. I've mentioned before that I'm a veg-aquarian and, until very recently, it's been roughly 15 years since I've eaten meat. However the consumption of meat has always been a texture / flavour / heath issue for me, never an ethical one, and I really enjoy cooking with it. We do try to buy organic and … [Read more...]
Vegan Chai Pumpkin Latte
Crazy coffee-chain creations, and coffee at all for that matter, chai from powders, sticky sweet flavoured lattes - they just aren't for me. A clean straight-up green chai, a pure and floral white, even an occasional peppermint - that is much more my cup of tea, pardon the pun. But this? This is the goodness of chai spices and the decadence of pumpkin all wrapped up in a creamy warm mug of magic for Tea Time Tuesday. I probably could should have called it a Pumpkin Pie Latte... Now if … [Read more...]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles
Back in 2010, well before the 'I Quit Sugar' craze took hold, we cut the sweet stuff out of our diet. It was part of a larger change in how we eat and in one fell swoop we cleaned out the cupboards and went cold turkey. (If you're interested, you can read all about it here). The first few weeks were challenging to say the least but the results were remarkable. I've learned a bit over the past few years, now use rice syrup instead of apple juice concentrate amongst other things, and while I'm … [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...]
