Well I’ve had a couple of things I needed to do on the gluten-free baking front, one being to work on a new loaf to add to the mix, and a cinnamon raisin loaf seemed like just the thing. One of the other things on the list was to incorporate chia seeds into more of the [...] I’ve had another round of bitters in the works, and these pink grapefruit bitters are particularly tasty. I started with a base of Bacardi 151 — one of the few overproof rums available to us up here, and one that is too fiery to successfully use blended in cocktails. What else to do with a [...] The experimenting with Timtana flour continues! I’m about half-way through the sample package I received and so far, I’m finding I like this flour a lot in yeast-raised bread products, with one major exception… this banana bread! But before we get into the recipe, here’s a couple of things you need to know about me: I loathe [...] Another Thursday Drink Night — Last night’s theme was nuts: liqueurs made from nuts, nut infused booze, and more nuts. Go check them all out, make some for yourself and and vote for your favourite! I’m not a big nut liqueur fan, usually finding them too sweet and cloying, so this was a bit more of [...] So I received a new flour in the mail a couple of days ago: Timtana flour, made by Montana Gluten-free Processors (in Montana of course!). I’ve been waiting with some interest to see what it would look like and more importantly, what it would be like to bake with. The Timtana flour comes from the seeds [...] So this month’s Daring Bakers Challenge was brought to us by Lauren over at Celiac Teen who threw down the gauntlet for folks to not only embrace the gluten-free, but also to embrace the uniquely Canadian treat known as Nanaimo bars (from scratch of course!). If you haven’t done so already, go check out Lauren’s [...] A quick lentil soup that is hearty enough for dinner! While you can use plain brown lentils for this, do try and get the French Lentils (Lentils de Puy). They have a richer flavour, and have a slightly firmer texture than the brown ones. They look like beautiful little speckled stones in their [...] Time for another cocktail from Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails! Ive been eyeing this one for a bit, thinking it would be a fun one to try, just for the historical kicks, if nothing else. I can just imaging all the New York party set heading out on their private boats for a bit of imbibing [...] Another Thursday Night, another Thursday Night Drink Night. Tonight’s theme was fruit brandies — poire williams, kirshwasser, framboise, apricot brandy, grappa … I started by pulling out all the fruit brandies and liqueurs I had in the liquor cabinet, and decided to go with the tree fruit based brandies rather than the berry based ones, so apple, [...] We had a good run of blood oranges available in the markets up here, and now its tapering off, and I found myself with 2 left in the fridge. What to do? Turn them into cocktails! Blood oranges taste so delicious, and have such a gorgeous colour, you don’t want to do too much to muck [...]  |
