Let it be known that roughly once a week since January my husband has asked for chocolate mousse. Let it also be known that roughly once since January I week I rolled my eyes and ignored his pleas. But the man is nothing if not quick on his feet and a few weeks ago a fly on the wall overheard a conversation that went something like this... J - what kind of cake do you want for your birthday? R - can I pick anything? J - sure R - I want that chocolate mousse that my mate Manu made for … [Read more...]
Persimmon, Goat Cheese & Thyme Tartine
Remember my Radish & Butter open faced sandwich ramblings? Insert that here, but with two kinds of persimmons, goat cheese and thyme. Or if you're in the mood for a bit of information read on -- because not only am I a geek at heart but until a few months back, when a box of glowing orange fruit showed up at my door, I'd never eaten a persimmon. (And now that I have I'm a bit in love. Really.) I'd heard the warnings about persimmons, stories of astringent fruit that when not yet … [Read more...]
Fruit Smash Toast
This isn't a real recipe, not really. But that doesn't make it any less perfect as an instant meal solution. You see I'm a huge fan of stuff on toast. It's a quick and easy fix for pretty much any time of day -- but that certainly doesn't mean it needs to be boring. The toast in this instance is sourdough but it could be any number of other base loaves, as gluten-full or gluten-free as you wish. The key is that it's sliced, toasted and topped -- in this instance with fruit, … [Read more...]
Egg, Salmon & Goat Cheese Baked Mushrooms
It's an established fact that I'm just a bit obsessed with brunch. It's also well documented that I'm a mushroom pusher from way back. And from the photos on this post I've quite possibly revealed how the story ends before it's even started... But if you skip the awards show and head straight to the party you'll miss the best ideas ever on how to get your daily Vitamin D, and that would be such a shame. So lets talk for a moment about Vitamin D, ok? Great. The mighty D is a vitamin … [Read more...]
Gluten-Free & Vegan Banana Bread Pancakes
It's nearing the end of yet another month (what? WHAT? sigh.) and that means it's time once again for Secret Recipe Club! *applause, applause* Oh thank you, thank you. No, no, please take your seats, there will be plenty of time to cheer later. And why, pray tell will there be cheering later? Well this month my SRC assignment was Feed Me Seymour, a delicious little corner of the internet created by Kim -- a food editor based in Annapolis -- and once again I was spoilt for … [Read more...]
Wholewheat Pear & Blueberry Muffins for Mother’s Day
A letter to my Mom on Mother's Day 2015. Hi Mommy! I miss you. You remember a few weeks back when we were in the midst of one of our usual slightly-random-but-filled-with-pretty-things conversations and you said "I've been feeling like you're really far away lately"? Well something caught in my throat because I'd been thinking the same thing only a day earlier, even though we talk all the time. Of course those calls are great but it's the telepathy across the world moments that make … [Read more...]
Vegan Spelt Anzac Biscuits
Yes, a recipe for Anzac Biscuits, over a week after Anzac Day has come and gone. A recipe that while perfectly edible (and highly enjoyable if I do say so myself) isn't quite right, quite yet -- but I'm posting it anyway because: sometimes not perfect is still ok, and edible but not quite right, quite yet, is an extraordinarily accurate description of the current state of this here site, at this here moment... More about the site shortly, but first the biscuits. You may want to grab … [Read more...]
