reduce the juice

On March 7, 2011 By

As I’d men­tioned before, I’ve started work­ing with fruit juice as a sweet­ener in some bak­ing exper­i­ments. Why not just use agave or maple syrup, you ask? Well, there is some con­tro­versy regard­ing the safety of agave nec­tar in larger quan­ti­ties (just Google it, if you’re curi­ous) and maple syrup is ter­ri­bly expen­sive to be […]

2 ingredient smoothie and book update

On January 27, 2011 By

When I was a kid, I hated any­thing bit­ter. Grape­fruit was the break­fast antithe­sis of all that is good in my chubby lit­tle world– sugar coated crunchies and cus­tard filled donuts. Now as an adult my palette has changed quite a bit and bit­ter foods, like tahini and grape­fruit, have come to hold a special […]

sprouted cookies = win!

On January 24, 2011 By

Okay, so tech­ni­cally quick bread was the win­ner of my sprouted wheat poll, but after con­sid­er­ing it I thought I’d take cook­ies for a spin with this first batch. I really wanted some­thing that would bake for a shorter amount of time to really show­case the fla­vor of the flour. The fresh flour has […]
