We recently had a fundraising afternoon tea at work for a colleague who was taking on the challenge of riding over 1000km in a week for ovarian cancer research so I thought I better get my bake on! I used to take cupcakes into work all the time but hadn’t done so in a long time, so thought I would rectify that with these lemon coconut cupcakes.
I recently had a lunchtime hankering for some flaky pastry goodness so whipped up these spinach ricotta rolls and they really hit the spot. Not only are they super tasty, but they are incredibly easy to prepare, and best of all you can make them in advance and pop them in the freezer so you have delicious lunchtime treats on hand at all times!
I shared a photo of these matcha overnight oats on my instagram one morning and a few of you lovely folk got in touch asking for the recipe, so here we go! I’m a big fan of overnight oats as they make such a quick and easy breakfast option, and they are so versatile that you can top them with anything you have on hand. Yum, yum, yum!
My love of hummus has been well documented here on I Spy Plum Pie, with lots of variations showing up over the last few years. I decided to mix things up a little recently and make dip using one of my other favourite beans, so black bean dip it is! Now, this dip is definitely not going to win any prizes for how it looks, but believe me it’s well worth it for the flavour!
Welcome to the first post in a new series here at ISPP – my Spice Guide! Each month I am going to delve deep into one spice and talk all about its history, flavour profile, uses and more, so we can all get a little more adventurous in the kitchen. I’m kicking things off with one of my most used spices, so here we go with the Spice Guide: Cumin!
