When it comes to desserts, rich and decadent doesn’t have to mean unhealthy, at least not in the raw food world. While they are not nearly fat-free, desserts in the raw contain a number of benefits that most baked desserts don’t–one of the most important being that raw food ingredients are minimally processed and in their natural, nutrient-rich state.
I must confess: I’m a really good procrastinator. For the last couple of days, I have been working at home to concentrate on writing an intense feature article for work. My brain hurts, and my dark, unlit kitchen is lonely and is calling my name. I can’t bare it anymore.
I’m pleased to announce that I have completed my first Daring Bakers challenge! One of the reasons I started blogging is to challenge myself to be more adventurous and creative in the kitchen, and so I welcomed the idea of joining the Alternative Daring Bakers and indulging in ongoing challenges that would take me beyond my usual baking repertoire.
In case you haven’t noticed by some of my recent posts (here and here), I’ve been on a bit of an apple craze lately. I blame it on the beautiful abundance of apples that I came across at a recent trip to a local market. As soon as I saw them, I immediately started visualizing new ways to use them in my baking to make the most of their great taste and juicy appeal.
I have been using balsamic vinegar on my salads forever. There’s something about that rich, tangy flavour that I love. Yet I had never used it in baking until a few years ago…
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a thing for peanut butter. That smooth, nutty butter melts so perfectly in between a slice of toasted whole-grain bread and just-ripened banana slices, or on a square of dark chocolate that is dipped into the PB jar when nobody is looking.
