For a long time, I failed at falafel. They always fell apart! But there are times when persistence pays off as it did in this case. The secret seems to be adding a little chickpea (besan) flour to the mix and refrigerating it for a couple of hours before cooking. […]
These muffins are made using fresh lemons and honey. I also use a this paleo flour blend I found on A Calculated Whisk blog. This flour is so quick and easy to make and better for you than supermarket GF flours. I make these as a special cake for dessert […]
Now is the time that the turmeric leaves are dying off and the root is ready to be harvested. But what do you do with it all in order to preserve it? You can blitz it up in a food processor and freeze it in ice cube trays OR, you […]
