On a recent trip to Thailand, I fell in love with the food, particularly the dessert. On almost every street corner stood a little shack with wheels selling hand-made coconut rice pudding with freshly sliced mangoes, crispy fried rice and maybe a cheeky dollop of coconut ice cream. I couldn’t get enough of this and… Continue reading Coconut Mango Rice Pudding Bowl (vegan | gluten-free)

Strawberries and Cream Nice Cream (vegan | gluten-free)
Strawberries are awesome. Cream is awesome. Put them together and what have we got? A bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. I really wanted to say that. Lame I know, but sometimes you just have to sing out that ‘ear worm’- apparently that’s what they call a song that’s stuck in your head in Germany (well so says my German… Continue reading Strawberries and Cream Nice Cream (vegan | gluten-free)
Baked Lemon Cheesecake Bars (vegan |gluten-free)
I honestly can’t take this sudden abundance of raw imitation cheesecakes with their soft nut bases and their faux-cream fillings pumped with expensive fruit powders (another useless non-entity of an ingredient) just to hype up their appearance.

However, I can give you a vague update of my night of drunken shenanigans (which isn’t so entertaining either!), but it does actually involve the tart so I guess… Continue reading Chocolate hazelnut tartlet with preserved fruits, rose chantilly, pistachio praline and basil flowers
Chocolate polenta cake with oranges and cream caramel (gluten-free + vegan)
I really don’t think polenta gets enough credit. It’s like the Ringo Star of the grains, although maybe that’s a bad example. I can’t actually think of one that’s better than that one right now but if I do ill shoehorn it in. Polenta is basically a humble cornmeal mush that is put together to… Continue reading Chocolate polenta cake with oranges and cream caramel (gluten-free + vegan)
