how sweet it is, to be loved by you

On June 24, 2011 By

This week’s Treat of the Week is the sweet­est of treats. It’s a lit­tle pho­to­graphic trip to a lovely new bak­ery in Seat­tle named Bouteloua Bak­ery.

A cou­ple of weeks ago, Megan, the owner, con­tacted me to let me know they were open and to see if I’d stop by the next time we […]

long live the gingers!

On June 17, 2011 By

The word “gin­ger” has got­ten a bad rap.

Well, you know what? It’s time to take a stand. I love me some Weasleys and I love me some ginger, too.

Awhile ago, sad­dened that it’s hard to find gin­ger ale that isn’t sweet­ened with high fruc­tose corn syrup, I decided to make […]

pressure cookin’!

On June 14, 2011 By

This video is a long time in the mak­ing. After years of hear­ing fears, urban leg­ends and other gen­eral belly aching about pres­sure cook­ers, I decided it was time enough to put this silli­ness to rest and demon­strate how truly easy it is to make awe­some food using a pres­sure cooker. I assure you, I’m […]

even though it’s warm– let them have cake!

On June 10, 2011 By

Sorry for being MIA. I should be back to a more nor­mal post­ing schedule soon.

Until then– a cake for you to bake in your rice cooker! This cake is from the Not-Baked chap­ter in my new cook­book. It’s too darn hot to run your oven, but it’s not fair for Mother Nature to expect […]

raw chocolate nom

On May 25, 2011 By

I want to share some­thing deca­dent with you.

Raw choco­late.

Rich, creamy, coconut sweet­ened raw chocolate.

A few weeks ago I dis­cov­ered Lulu’s Choco­late Alchemy when the lovely Luna brought some bars to our yoga immer­sion, for our post-practice prasad. Wowza! It was the rich­est, smoothest choco­late I’d ever had and […]

cakey cakey cakes!

On May 20, 2011 By

Okay, Treat of the Week is back in full force, folks!

First off, we have a new video. Fresh off the presses, it is part 2 of the cake dec­o­rat­ing piece I’m doing. In this episode we tackle split­ting a cake, fill­ing a pas­try bag, assem­bling a cake and gussy­ing it up.

And […]

coconutty!

On May 18, 2011 By

Jess is the lucky win­ner of a jar of Kelapo coconut oil! Woo-hoo!

Still crav­ing the coconut? Try the Ana’s Almond Joy­ful Muffins from yes­ter­day. Or a refresh­ing green smoothie? Or how about a deca­dent Black For­est Coconut Cream Par­fait? Or if savory is your bag, how about some Cur­ried […]

sometimes you feel like a nut…

On May 17, 2011 By

There is still one day to enter the draw­ing for a jar of Kelapo coconut oil!

All of your com­ments on last week’s post had me dream­ing about all things coconutty. One com­ment in par­tic­u­lar, by Ana, got me think­ing about mak­ing Almond Joy muffins.

If bak­ing is my art then muffins are […]
