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...]
Pumpkin Spice Cake for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea
The first rule of gatherings is 'always promise food', even better if you are promising cake. You know it's true - book clubs, catch-ups, training sessions and even dreaded Friday afternoon meetings are made better with the anticipation of treats. However once your audience is there what do you do with them? The casual catch up is an easy one, get out the food early, brew the tea and simply kick-back with friends, but when there is a agenda things need to be approached a bit … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Cheezy Rosemary & Black Pepper Crackers
I just thought it would be best to warn you up front, these are spectacular. Crunchy, salty, cheesy, savoury, addictive. I'm one of those people who is usually quite satisfied with a small handful of chips or a single spoonful of ice cream or one slice of cake but with these crackers all bets are off. I'm not even kidding. It's the last Monday of the month and therefore time once again for a Secret Recipe Club post. This month I was assigned the lovely blog Fearless Homemaker, and talk about … [Read more...]
Smokey Chilli-Lime Hummus
My kitchen blender dramas have been well documented, but if you missed the various rants, in short at the end of last year both my immersion hand blender and mini-food processor went on to the big kitchen in the sky. As a result, for a little while I was without any way to make drinks, soups, spreads and cheesecake. First world problem? Yes, of course. But I do live in a first world country, and we do like our weekend smoothies. In any case, KitchenAid was kind enough to send me a hand … [Read more...]
