APPLE AND BLACK GRAPE BANDE AUX FRUITS…& BLOGGERAID
“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”Martin Luther This fall, BloggerAid…Changing the Face of Famine, a dedicated group of food bloggers will make their mark on global hunger and kitchens around the world when they release “The BloggerAid Cookbook.” The proceeds from the sale of this cookbook will benefit Friends of WFP. It’s thanks to this beautiful, dedicated and hard-working group, and to Absolute Press, UK, one of the UK’s leading publishers of food and drink books, that I am fortunate enough to review ‘INDULGE – 100 Perfect Desserts’ by Claire Clark, as part of a fun event…

Dark Chocolate, Ricotta and Ginger Tartlets with Poached Pears
“One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure…” William Feather What spells Fall? Longer nights and shorter days. Leaves just about beginning to change colour. More serious food choices coming forth. Hola… September’s here, and with it Fall / Autumn in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Adios to the lightness that spelt summer. Stone fruits have been pipped by pip fruits, and the seasons first apples and pears are beginning to creep in. We’ve sadly said goodbye to the last of the stone fruits, plums were the last to go. There was a time that my heart sank when the…

“Bring forth the raisins and the nuts Tonight All-Hallows’ Specter struts Along the moonlit way.” John Kendrick Bangs This is just a quick post, more pictures, few words…& recipes to follow, or maybe a link if you want to fall-o! BOO…where did the months go? It’s almost the end of the year, & I’m racing against time.

CHOCOLATE-CHIP & WALNUT COOKIES…for Halloween
“Bring forth the raisins and the nutsTonight All-Hallows’ Specter struts Along the moonlit way.”John Kendrick Bangs Chocolate-chip & Walnut Cookies for Halloween Today was a day I just wanted to sit & relax in one place till I grew roots!! Obviously the daughter had other plans as it’s her friends’ birthday tomorrow and they’re having a Halloween party. So I got down to work with the pots & pans to make a quick batch of chocolate chip cookies. It’s a recipe I’ve worked around with, by adding whole wheat flour to make it healthier. I’ve posted it earlier; if you would like to view it, click here . The cookie…

A CRUMBLE TO FALL FOR…a healthy Apple Crumble!
“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns.” George Eliot Sugar & spice & ‘FALL’ things nice…that’s what I’m made up of! Cinnamon scrolls…adding flavour to the Crumble! A twist to the regular crumble to make it healthier. I have substituted the butter for margarine, and lightly toasted (or roasted) the oats to bring out the crunch and flavour. Apples, cinnamon & walnuts bring out quite the best in each other…as far as taste, colour and warmth go. The only thing missing are the twirling leaves when the south wind blows!! Guess we can…

MORAVIAN TARTS…warm up to cookies this Fall!
“Seeing is deceiving. It’s eating that’s believing. ” James Thurber MORAVIAN TARTS This is a recipe from ‘The Great Cookie Book’, and was one the first cookie recipes I tried almost 5 years ago. These seem just right for the season, with the warm flavours of cinnamon with walnuts; complement Fall beautifully! Very nice as a gift, and great with tea. You can use pecans too if preferred, which is what the original recipe uses. I believe that Moravian tarts belong to the Pennsylvania Dutch bouquet of recipes. Ingredients:Butter – ½ cupCastor Sugar – 2/3 cupVanilla Essence – 1 tspSalt – 1 large pinchEgg – 1, beatenFlour – 1 cupSoda…
