Piggies!

Everybody asked for the recipe! I prompted turned on Megan's video!... Keep Reading

They have a crusty outside and soft springy inside with a delightful flavour that is dairy free and sugar free as well!

Piggies! It is DAY 13 of Gluten Free Baking With KitchenAid and I am celebrating the 7-QT KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway with my fellow gluten free bloggers at the first annual Nourished Gluten Free Food Bloggers Conference in Chicago. I am SO excited to connect with my friends in the gluten free community, and meet new people and learn from them! The wonderful Amy Green has put this wonderful event together, and has invited many of the fabulous ladies I will be featuring this month to speak at the conference. No self-respecting gluten free event would be complete without including Cybele Pascal amongst the presenters, so I thought it only fitting that I feature her today! If you are not familar with Cybele Pascal, The Allergy-Friendly... Keep Reading

Piggies, I hope you all had a fabulous Easter. It is DAY 9 of Gluten Free Baking With KichenAid, and even though it is has been the Easter holidays and not the Christmas holidays, I still wanted to feature this delicious gluten free, nut free, soy free, vegan pumpkin bread that can really be enjoyed all year round. When I asked the fabulous Alisa Fleming from Go Dairy Free to contribute a recipe to this event in honour of our KitchenAid stand mixer giveaway, she sent through this "Gluten Free Vegan Holiday Pumpkin Bread" with a note that said, "Wrong holiday but here's a good recipe," to which I responded, "It is never the wrong holiday or day to enjoy pumpkin bread!" Then I tasted the recipe!! WOW! This pumpkin bread is PHENOMENAL!... Keep Reading

Well… my sister and my niece flew back to Australia ("BOO!" is my review for that), mum and dad sailed away on their cruise through the Panama Canal (as you do!), and my friend Kris (who was visiting for a week) just left after a very decadent "vegan binge tour of L.A." In case you are not getting the point already, this is my lame piggy excuse for not having posted any new recipes the last couple of weeks. You see, I was too busy eating other people's treats!!! Suffice to say, we all sampled as much of the fabulous vegan food on offer in L.A as we could possibly stuff into our greedy little stomachs, which were not so little by the end of the week. I practically had to roll Kris onto the plane! Or so she claims! (Ha! She is wafer-thin!)... Keep Reading

I am having an absolute blast with my gorgeous family! They arrived from Australia a week ago and we have been flying the piggy flag with gusto, exploring the snout-worthy culinary delights of Los Angeles. In my humble opinion, no whole foodie tour of L.A would be complete without a visit to Real Food Daily. I was so proud as my ever-supportive family, who are not vegetarians, but rather "whole foods/slow foods geeks," dove into their vegan troughs with over-zealous piggy enthusiasm and joy. Ann Gentry's delectable vegan recipes continue to inspire and delight me, and I was thrilled that my foodie family agreed. The food is so simple and clean. My sister Kara was hilarious: she closed her eyes as she cleaned every last morsel off her... Keep Reading

I absolutely love cooking with my friend Kris. Not only is she one of my dearest friends and amongst the most generous people I know; she is a phenomenal vegetarian cook. Kris and I met when we were in a play together for Ranters Theatre over 13 years ago, and we have been breaking gluten free bread with love ever since. Beth and Zoe were also in the play, and we have all been kindred spirits ever since, having regular lunches and dinners throughout the year as a group. One of the most wonderful things about our friendships is that we are all obsessed whole foodies; and all three of these ladies are absolutely incredible vegetarian cooks. So, needless to say, there is always something delicious on the table. I will celebrate Zoe later this... Keep Reading
