For as much as I've been cooking and photographing food lately it's all been for other people. The mojo to create new things had gone a bit walk-about... but as is the case with life the most simple of things can open the flood gates. If you follow along on Instagram you would have seen the gorgeous delivery of new season asparagus that landed on my doorstep a few weeks back. To say they provided the spark of inspiration I needed would be an understatement. Both RJ and I love … [Read more...]
Whipped Chocolate Coconut Cream
There's a distinct possibility I neglected to post this recipe back with THAT cake and THAT buttercream (and originally with THOSE brownies). I didn't really like these photos at the time and figured that I'd re-shoot it sooner than later, but life got in the way (as life does), and for the longest time no one asked about the Whipped Chocolate Coconut Cream filling piece of the puzzle... But the aforementioned cake and buttercream eventually set the world (or at least the … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Buttercream (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free & Probably Paleo too)
I'm calling this Vegan Chocolate Buttercream however it may be more aptly named Vegan Chocolate Not-Buttercream due to the omission of the two main ingredients in buttercream -- butter and an enormous amount of sugar. So if this magical creation really is Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free & Probably Paleo how does it exist at all? Air? *whispers* cauliflower. *yells* wait, come back! This is not the first time I've used cauliflower as a dairy … [Read more...]
Best Ever Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (Dairy Free, Nut Free & Probably Paleo too)
This is THAT cake. The one I've been making roughly every other week for the past few months and sharing mercilessly across social media. The one that needs very few words but plenty of photos. The one that stops people in their tracks when they taste it, and again when they realise it's not only gluten free but nut free and dairy free and soy free too, and again when they hear about the frosting. The one I held off on posting until I could justify making a four layer cake by … [Read more...]
Radish & Butter Tartine
This is not a real post, or even a real recipe. It's what happens when I have a bag of radishes from the discount bin at the organic grocery store, already sliced bread and perfectly room temperature butter from shooting a Vegan Butter recipe, and I need lunch, and said lunch looks so pretty that what would it hurt to take a few more photos. Open-faced sandwiches -- tartine in France, and smørrebrød/smørbrød/smörgås across Scandinavia, and voileipä in Finland, or stuff on bread as I … [Read more...]
Ombre Key Lime Popsicles
I once got an award at a work Christmas party for something along the lines of "why say something in three words when thirty will do", and while I can be prone to talking about pretty much anything to anyone, I think I managed to use up almost all my words the other day over on that Vegan Butter post. So I'll keep this short, sweet and seriously image heavy... Popsicles are infinitely easier to photograph in winter, especially when the temperature of your living room is hovering … [Read more...]
Roasted Quince with Vanilla & Mandarin
Conversations with RJ... R: Hey, where does bellybutton lint come from? J: I have no idea, I think it just happens. R: Do you get it? J: No, that's your special skill, but did you know that there are whole factories in China that harvest belly-button lint for quilts? R: Bullshit...? J: Hahahahaha aaaahahahahah ahahahah R: You're an idiot J: Can't talk. Laughing.too.hard. Ahahahahahah ahahhahaha. ------ R: I'm going to the shops, I'll see if I can get the Lego Movie. J: Can you also … [Read more...]
