Pumpkin Scones
Will I quit with the pumpkin recipes, already??? No, no I will not. Okay. I will. But just give me this one last one…. My son has discovered scones. He loves them because he can get up in the morning and “make” his own breakfast, …
Plant-Forward Living with Rebecca Coleman
Recipes: Sweet
Lemon-Rosemary Polenta Cake
You may have noticed I’m a little obsessed with savoury ingredients in sweet preparations lately. I’ve been working a lot with fruit, but hitting the sweetness with a savoury twist that makes it… interesting and gives it a greater depth of flavour. My herbs are …
Vegan Panna Cotta with Blueberry-Balsamic Compote
Earlier this summer, I fell in love with panna cotta. Panna cotta is like creme brulee’s country cousin; it’s still a creamy, pudding-like dream, but it doesn’t require eggs. It’s thickened, instead, with gelatin. Now, gelatin makes me a little nervous. I’m unsure where exactly …
