Threw in a bit of cockney rhyming slang...apples and pears refers to stairs in London talk, although a staircase has no relation whatsoever to my cake so I'm not even sure why I used it as a reference, but I guess the cake does contain apples and pears so it's not too out-of-context! It was… Continue reading Apples and Pears Cake (vegan)

Peanut Butter and Walnut Millet Blondies (vegan | gluten-free)
Never in my life had I heard of millet until a couple of months ago. The word been thrown around now and again by the gluten haters, not the coeliacs, just people who hate gluten for the sake of hating it. I on the other hand do not hate gluten. But I do think wheat… Continue reading Peanut Butter and Walnut Millet Blondies (vegan | gluten-free)
Chocolate and Walnut Banana Bread (vegan | high protein)

No-bake high protein flapjacks (vegan + gluten-free)
Not to be confused with the boy called Flapjack who was raised by whales and went to an island made entirely of candy. That actually sounds way more fun than this version of flapjack!

Blueberry muffin ice cream truffles (vegan)
Whether in the form of intricate petit-fours or fruiting underground mushrooms, truffles are such a food of decadence and culinary snobbery. Muffins are somewhat the opposite- their consumption reflects the day to day mundane routines we endure, gobbled up non-fussily, any time of the day, usually in a rush, to fill that gap which yearns… Continue reading Blueberry muffin ice cream truffles (vegan)
