This cake is definitely my “new favourite” chocolate cake. So moist and so chocolatey! Best of all it got great reviewers from my tasters! I now make this cake in my recently acquired 6″ Bundt cake pan and reduce this recipe by half. Approx. 12 Servings 2 ¼ cups sifted unbleached flour ½ cup cocoa […]
We’ve headed into fall and the remaining Romanesco zucchini need to be used…now what? I’d pretty much run through the “zucchini repertoire” so I needed to come up with something for dinner. There’s leftover barbecued corn from the night before…hmmm. Kind of macaroni and cheese without the macaroni using zucchini and corn instead! We made […]
Even though the ideal method of cooking, at least in my mind, is to barbecue all summer, I suppose it’s OK to have other options! There’s no pasta in this tasty “lasagne” just long “lasagne” like strips of zucchini. Of course it’s best made with in season zucchini, especially if you can find the Italian ridged […]
It’s nearing the end of summer…and with that comes the ultimate question, what the heck am I going to do with all this zucchini? Well, here’s a quick bread that would be delicious with a salad or soup or toasted for breakfast. Makes 1 Loaf 3 cups unbleached flour, you can use a little wholewheat […]
August for us is “zucchini/tomatoes” 24/7! Tomatoes and zucchini prepared in as many guises as we can come up with! Lucky for us that besides the Sun Gold cherry tomatoes that I grow each year, there’s a guy that I refer to as the “Tomato Whisperer.” He grows outstanding tomatoes on his organic farm near […]
You’d hardly know it’s zucchini season if you looked in our kitchen! Joking! I have to admit there’s a whole lot of things being made using zucchini these days! And this moist, spicy, quick to make cake is one of them. It’s great with not only coffee but we’ve had it for breakfast too! It […]
I love cornbread and I’ve a whole lot of zucchini in the garden, so when I came across this recipe in Bon Appetit, it was right up my alley. I hope it’s something that you will enjoy as much as we do. We like it for breakfast too, lightly toasted served alongside an egg and […]
Or, maybe it should be “a hope and a prayer”… The radish seeds I planted are up as of yesterday! So I’m feeling pretty positive! I’ve been thinking about the planting of seeds lately. It seems to me that gardeners are people whose wine glasses are half full and are people full of hope for […]
I saw some end of season eggplant at the Farmer’s Market and thought, what better way to use it, than to make this for Veggie Monday…not saying you can’t make it on other days! This makes a really, really tasty vegetarian main course. A nice addition might be a salad and crusty bread. What I […]
I’ve had quite the crop of Romanesco zucchini this year (the light green speckled ones), so I decided to make soup with them instead of the yellow ones I normally use…hey if you grow zucchini you will understand what I mean! A delicate tasting soup that would be a lovely first course or served as […]
