Don't move twice in one month

It can severely impact the amount of quality time you can spend in your kitchen.

I'm in an awesome place now with an amazing kitchen and a mountain kicking out in my front yard.

I've been in the city for a year now so yesterday I decided to bake a celebratory chocolate cake.

As a challenge I tried to make it nut free, wheat free, and vegan.
I fell a bit short but the cake was awesome... and I have pictures.







Steamed Sticky Chocolate Cake
date and bananas, flax and gooey chocolaty chia seed filling


This is made with a soft fruit base combined with a wheat-less flour mix.
All the sugar comes from fruit and honey and flax seed provides the stabilization.

The full recipe will come soon. I'm going to finish the key lime soon too now... but at the moment I have to rush off to serve caffeine to the masses.

Cheers

Coming soon


Key lime pie... au naturel!


Use free range eggs. I'm not going to go on a preachy hippy rant about this. They taste good, the yolks are a deep golden yellow, and you'll get a better pie.

The filling needs time to thicken at room temperature so I prepare it before the crust. I also tried an amped up version of the standard graham wafer crust the original recipe called for. I found the latter a bit flimsy and that could have something to do with the fact that I guessed the equivalent of 9 wafers worth of crumbs.

For the filling you'll need:

4 tsp grated zest



I'm in the middle of moving... The rest will be up soon!

Food for the soul
