Baby Mustard Greens, Turnip & Almond Soup with a Mustard Vinaigrette … the Philips Soupmaker – a review and Philips Rice Cooker giveaway. A gadget that is great to have in your kitchen, summer, winter or spring, this is one cool concept!
Orange Almond Cake {gluten free} … wafts of sweet almond with citrusy notes of orange float through the kitchen, virtually transporting you to the Mediterranean. One bite and you will find it hard to believe that the cake is flourless with no added fat. It is delightfully moist and orange flavoured.
Wholewheat Cocoa Almond Biscotti … what’s not to love about a crisp twice baked chocolate cookie. This is a wholegrain healthy version with roasted almonds. You could use toasted walnuts instead and make a brownie biscotti! Use a good-quality cocoa powder as that really makes the difference to how deeply chocolaty the biscotti will be.
A healthier & delicious version of the pound cake, one that works with infinite combinations; a recipe never short on ideas! The good thing about the Wholewheat Almond Buttermilk Pound Cake is that is made of whole grain only. Another plus that it doubles up as a tea time favourite, a snack box filler AND a light, healthy dessert too!
Eggless Almond Honey Wholegrain Cookies offer deep delicious butterscotch flavour thanks to the brown sugar and butter. Almond meal adds interesting taste, and chocolate chips are thrown in to make another quintessential chocolate chip cookie, this time eggless. These whole grain cookies are nice, chewy if you underbake them a little, and crisp if you bake them longer!
Happy birthday to the teen who wanted PINK!! A light almond flavoured sponge sandwiched and frosted with an equally light almond whipped buttercream.
