Eggless Tiramisu Inspired Cake … Coffee, Kahlua and mascarpone, everything you’d want in dessert if you love coffee. I love how many avatars a simple cake can take, and this one turned out to be the perfect coffee lovers dessert, simple & fuss free.
Polenta Cheese Crackers {and canapes} and a cracker of a dip. The oh-so-delicious smooth Eggplant Melon Seed Dip comes together in seconds. Both the crackers and the dip are beautifully flavoured by an earthy, deep, aromatic organic garlic infused extra virgin olive oil from @Azafraninfusions.
There is something intrinsically therapeutic about weaving a lattice for a pie if you know what I mean. With a filling of chicken marinated with @bigbanyanwines, carrots, kohlrabi and cheese of course, these Cheesy Chicken Pot Pies turned out wickedly good! Did I tell you that the rough puff pastry is wholegrain? Yes it is and worked very well!
Smoky Baked Mushroom Cheese Dip is a definite crowd pleaser, and a great addition to the holiday table. Smoky Gouda, wine simmered mushrooms, garlic and fresh thyme make one of the best cheesy dips ever. Baked briefly under a hot grill until the cheese melts into gooey goodness. Serve immediately with simple crusty artisan bread to soak up the wine juices and deliciously flavoured cheese.
Nothing better than fresh home baked bread, and this Olive Oil Walnut Garlic Rosemary Foccacia is bursting with flavour. The Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and their great quality bake-ware make baking breads so therapeutic, so fuss free. Use herbs and nuts of your choice, play around with ingredients, but do make this. The extra virign olive oil shines in the bread!
With so many fabulous things within, eating the Cheese Garlic Rosemary Eggless Brioche was literally like nibbling a cheeseboard! Serve pears, apples, grapes, olives, cold cuts on the side, maybe a nice smoked cheese too. The bread takes care of the rest.
