Vegan Monday: Delicious Pecan Cake With Delicious Chocolate Vegan Buttercream
Whenever I make something with pecans, I remember how expensive they are – at least in Finland that is. I mean, I find nuts generally quite expensive here, but pecans really exceed in that. But well, they are delicious and they are used in a moderate amount in this recipe so it’ll be fine.
Bread Pudding With Currants – From Jane Austen’s Family Favourites
I think the closest thing to a bread pudding I ever ate in my life was ekmek kadayifi – an Ottoman dessert with bread soaked in syrup and served with clotted cream. This bread pudding with currants though is not that sweet. In fact, it is slightly bitter.
Basil, Corn And Olive Oil Cake With Balsamic Strawberry Sauce
So, my experimentations of using olive oil and herbs in cakes continue. Today’s cake has basil and part of the flour used for the batter is corn flour. The strawberry sauce is optional, however it adds a very rich taste indeed.

Gluten Free Thursday: Beetroot Brownie – Perfect Combo!

Gluten Free Thursday: Corn Cookies And A Stiff Neck

Vegan Monday: Pumpkin, Coconut And White Chocolate Dessertgasm
This dessert is delicious, fast-and-easy, and it requires only 3 ingredients (4, if you want to top it with pistachios while serving which is totally optional). But I have to warn you, even with only 3 ingredients it is not the cheapest dessert to make, yet I believe it is worth the costs.

Vegan Monday: Chewy Cacao, Tahini And Almond Cookies With Sesame Seeds
A few years ago, I published a cookie recipe with tahini, almond and honey. I made those cookies many times for gluten free friends and customers, and I also made vegan versions, maybe even more, by substituting honey with syrup. This recipe I’m writing today is a variation of those cookies with the added loveliness of cacao.
