The reason I’ve given these vegan mince pie crumbles a crumbly top is because a) crumble is the don and b) I’m not actually good at ensuring the pastry case and the pastry top cook at the same time. Either the top is too brown and the case is perfect or the case is too… Continue reading Mince Pie Crumbles

Smoked garlic and sweet potato cheesecake (vegan | gluten-free)
It's that time of year where we're heeded to get out the wooden stakes and vampire repellant and this little knuckle of a shoot sure throws a good punch. The garlic's strong flavour and aroma characteristics somewhat resemble that of its older sister, the stout and sturdy onion, both as stinky as each other!

Chocolate hazelnut tartlet with preserved fruits, rose chantilly, pistachio praline and basil flowers
If I’m being honest, today I’m hungover as fuck and not a single sentence that’s going through my head right now is worth sticking in here.

These are sooo US of A so I thought I’d leave it to the Americans to do their job in making them, allowing these fattening little treats to remain a holiday food that in no way whatsoever requires my input. For this reason, I have never in my life made any attempts to create peanut… Continue reading Totally American chocolate peanut butter cups (vegan + gluten-free)
Tartlets- the food equivalent to babies (vegan)
I would first like to reiterate that pastry really is a motherfucker. Making it is simply kitchen torture. I know the pastry do-gooders in this world will beg to differ with that statement, but they’re specialists, and to be frank, I am not! There was not a single point in this process that I looked… Continue reading Tartlets- the food equivalent to babies (vegan)
Monochrome yellow – deconstructed lemon meringue pie
Not so sure how many people remember good old Sara Lee, but I sure as hell haven’t forgotten her lemon meringue pie nor her chocolate gateaux, such 90s classics. The lemon meringue in particular brings back memories of barbecues at my parents’…so many variations of seasoned meats, but the only part I was looking forward… Continue reading Monochrome yellow – deconstructed lemon meringue pie
