It arrived on my doorstep like a gift from the heavens. An overflowing box of seasonal produce, celebrating the start of summer fruit and veg and saving me from myself. As soon as it hit the table I unpacked every piece -- and then did what any slightly OCD normal, possibly colour-obsessed, person would do... I created a rainbow of course. I didn't realise until it was all packed away again that the fennel should have been turned the other way and now that's all I see when I look at … [Read more...]
Quick-Pickle Marinated Mushrooms
Ah summer, a time of relaxation and recharge, of taking it easy and.... *insert movie-esque sound of screeching brakes* Ok, let's try that again. Ah summer, a time that should be all about relaxation and recharge but it seems life pays little attention to the seasons or the temperature or the shade of blue blanketing the sky, and simply keeps heaping on the demands. Summer, at least here in Australia, is nearly more manic than the rest of the year. While we should be swapping indoor … [Read more...]
Pecan Oat No-Bake Pie Crust {GF VG DF SF Paleo}
Look at me go, no posts for ages then bam, there I am in your inbox or reader or feed two days in a row. Pie will do that. Of course another Pumpkin Pie meant another pie crust (heaven forbid I double up and repeat one) and somehow pecans and oats just seemed the way to go. I should have probably called it a Pecan Oat Raw Pie Crust, but there are arguments about the raw-ness of rolled oats so no-bake was just as easy. And to be honest this crust is a bit like taking a pecan … [Read more...]
No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Pie {GF VG DF SF NF Paleo}
Good lord this a good pie. Like insanely must not eat all the filling with a spoon before putting it in the crust good. And crazy text my mother and sister-in-law as I'm licking said spoon to tell them how good it is and that they need to make it for Thanksgiving good. And why on earth didn't I do this ages ago good. I have no idea why this recipe took me so long to piece together. To use the principals of my Key Lime Pie and Lemon Custard and apply them to the cooked-custard Vegan Pumpkin … [Read more...]
Turkey Ragu
He always orders the house-made pappardelle, I always order the seafood pasta. We share the cabbage and walnut salad and spoon-battle over the last skerricks of dessert. The ragu on the pappardelle changes each time, and while variations of beef and lamb are on regular rotation, turkey has only appeared once at our regular date night haunt... The tacchino was ordered with a touch of hesitation, lunchmeat and overcooked Christmas roll far too vivid in his memory, but with one bite all bets … [Read more...]
Zebra-Striped Choc-Orange Vegan Cheesecake
I was going to let Halloween pass by this year with nary a mention. Then the other day, after talking to a girlfriend about her over-the-top ghoulish creation, I was bitten by the trick-or-treat bug. So much as I love the crazy Halloween recipes that float across the interwebz this time of year I find myself sticking with a slightly tamer theme -- if you've been here a while you may recognise the colour combo from my Halloween Ice Cream Bars with Chocolate & Green Goo Magic Shell -- … [Read more...]
Concord Grape Pie & Wholewheat All-Butter Pastry
The summer I made these pies -- a full two years ago, way back in 2012 -- the grapes were so sweet that simmering juice thickened almost instantly without even a hint of extra sugar. Big bunches hung heavy on the vines, biding their time before the plant opened and the harvester ran through. We picked a couple crates of Concords along with the hand-harvested white grapes -- simply because we could. Over the span of two weeks I made Grape & Rosemary Focaccia and Concord Grape Sorbet … [Read more...]
