I've done it again haven't I? Teased you with a cake and promised frosting, then made you wait a week for the recipe. I had every intention on sharing this a few days ago, but then another cake happened. It happens. There is every chance this icing recipe may look a bit familiar, perhaps a bit like Vegan Cheesecake... But what is Cream Cheese Frosting if not cheesecake spread over cake -- am I right? In any case don't question it, just make it. Then try not to eat it all … [Read more...]
Coconut, Ricotta & Cornmeal Tea Cake
This must be one of the easiest cakes I've ever made ... Or at least it would have been, had the morning not been a comedy of errors. First up the butter I was melting in the oven (no I don't have a microwave) tipped and spilled as I went to get it out. Interesting upside is that melted butter apparently makes a great cleaner when wiped off the bottom of a hot oven. Who knew. Of course my oven now smells like butter every time it's turned on. Then I completely forgot to put said butter … [Read more...]
Chocolate Tahini Spread (aka Nut-free Not-tella)
Do you know what today is? It's World Nutella Day! Let's all cheer and get hopped up on sugar and palm oil! Wait, that isn't right... is it? Please indulge me for a moment as we hop into the time-machine -- help yourself to a cup of tea or a shot of bourbon and remember to buckle your seatbelt as we flash-back to my original anti-Nutella post three years ago: ... On the World Nutella Day site the founders claim: Nutella is more than just a “chocolaty hazelnut spread,” it is a way of … [Read more...]
Lime Sherbet and a Gin & Tonic Float
Remember when I made those Key Lime Ombre Popsicles? Well it turns out I had more popsicle liquid than patience to make more popsicles -- and in a flash of genius I figured that the combinations would make pretty good sorbets. What I didn't count on was that when frozen, whipped and swirled the texture and flavour of the resulting frozen concoction was the stuff childhood memories are made of. You see we didn't often have ice cream in the freezer growing up but I have a very … [Read more...]
Watermelon & Roasted Strawberry Popsicles
Another year has come and gone, and once again the speed with which it has passed left me nearly speechless. I probably should have made this into a wrap up post of some kind, a reflection on the year with a positive quote about goals and the future... but while 2014 has been a year of fabulous success and learning and excitement it's also been one of struggle and fear and big decisions and I really don't feel like recounting any of it at the moment! What I do feel like however is … [Read more...]
Maple Orange Spice Macadamia Nuts
There is only one word to describe these spice-coated macadamia nuts -- addictive. Addictive as in keep tasting them just to make sure they're ok, and make twice what you need, and you better stop now lest you have none to give away addictive. They are crunchy and fragrant and stunningly easy to make -- as a matter of fact the hardest part of the whole recipe is waiting for them to cool before eating. These orange spiced macadamias are the second gift I included in my foodie … [Read more...]
Holiday Mixed Spice
WARNING: this spice blend is like Christmas fairy-dust in a jar. Seriously. Well, it is if warm spices make you think of gingerbread and mulled wine and tree decorating all other sorts of holiday festivities... On the other hand, if warm spices make you think of drinking a cocktail while sitting on a tropical island then please revise aforementioned warning to apply to your own happy spice memory. Either way, everybody wins. Working on the assumption that everyone has a happy … [Read more...]
