For all those dreading Halloween because of the deliciously naughty temptations, I have a quick fix. However, you may like it so much that this recipe could be one for the long haul. It contains pumpkin, one of my all time favorite flavors! But this recipe is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free! It seems all my other pumpkin dessert recipes on here are naughty indeed! Thankfully this has redeemed me from myself! Continue reading

Welcome back to Woman Crush Wednesday! My favorite day of the week where I choose a female chef and recreate one of her recipes live on Snapchat.

Her blog Smitten Kitchen has been the gold standard for food bloggers practically since its inception back in 2006. Her prolific posts of incredible sweet and savory foods have ignited flames in the hearts of home cooks from coast to coast! Continue reading

One of the best things about teaching cookery classes is seeing the students delighted with themselves when they have recreated a dish I have demoed. Especially one that is a bit different than the norm. Such is the case with these savory Courgette Cakes. Or as my American friends might call them, Zucchini Fritters. In essence they are a pancake.

There are whole debates in food journalism on this subject! In fact, people even argue on how to spell donuts (or doughnuts)! Whatever type you favor, or how you choose to spell them, you will love making these bite sized treats in your own home. Continue reading
