Perfect for the dessert platter, also gifting this season. better still, they are vegetarian & gluten free & EASY to make.
Wholegrain Espresso Chocolate Tart … because for me no celebration is complete without a hint of coffee! This is a simple tart. Also it’s a 100% wholegrain, eggless & delicious. Luxurious too!
From the mighty Swiss Alps to rolling green meadows, countrysides that echo cow bells, the odd moos, Switzerland has so much to be discovered, it would take a lifetime. Perhaps more. Yes, I was back in this beautiful country with Switzerland Tourism after four years and it seems even more beautiful than ever!
Eggless Wholegrain Strawberry Frangipane Tray Bake. Simple, one bowl deliciousness. The buttery shortbread base holds an indulgent fragrant almond filling, finished off with sweet tart strawberries and sprigs of fresh rosemary. The whole bake comes together quite quickly and simply, you’ll love it!
Life is sweet, made sweeter with honey. This roulade also turned out great, the burnt honey mascarpone adding special flavour. If you don’t have time to make the burnt honey, you can always use the honey as is, adjusted to taste.
Adapted from the Ottolenghi recipe, this one is as delicious. I’ve gone 100% wholewheat, used coconut sugar, part clarified butter/ghee, upped the walnuts and carrots slightly, and topped this with a hand whisked mascarpone. One word, YUM!
