I felt it was time for a revival! Rock cakes are awesome, right? You don’t need anything on them or with them, they stand alone as a delicious little cake, full of flavour and, as my memory serves me, satisfying. Traditional recipes has mixed spices and mixed fruit & peel. My own version has just raisins, a small amount of nutmeg, a good dose of cinnamon, some cherries and my own unique addition, a sprinkling of mixed chopped nuts to give them a bit of edge. They’re great, don’t stray too far from tradition and are easy to make.

I finally put science into baking! The golden ratio is 2:2:1:1 for flour:liquid:eggs:fatTry to make your own ingredients combination using this ratio and let me know how it turns out 😉Exchangeable ingredients:Dates syrup to Maple syrup or honeyApple sauce to melted butterRead more about the ratio here:https://thelilycafe.com/a-quick-guide-to-ratio-baking-muffins/

These bars are quick and easy to make and the variations of nuts,seeds and dried fruit are almost endless. My favourite combination includes pistachios, dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds.

#mycookbook A friend of mine sent me a package of pine nuts. I have not used this type of nuts before. After searching in web and my cookbooks I decided to make lebanese Dawood basha with pine nuts.If using minced beef make sure they have some fat. otherwise meatballs will become hard.Serve this with plain steamed white rice. Almonds can be used as substitude for pine nuts #middleeastern

I wanted something small and cooling after a very spicy lunch and found the smallest soya sauce bowl I could to make a super mini sweet treat.

Just love this, my take on a recipe given to me. Incidentally it is very nice with garlic oil marinated lamb loin chops I have been told.

There is a traditional Japanese sweet snack called ‘Karinttō’ which I love always. It’s a deep-fried sweet biscuit sticks coated with unrefined dark brown sugar same as muscovado. I have never made ‘Karinttō’ but this easy-to-make ‘Muscovado Coated Nuts’ are even tastier than ‘Karintō’ and healthier. However, I always make a small amount at a time because it is so hard to stop eating.

I saw a recipe by @TheBigE for this and cooksnapped them today. Thanks for inspiring me!! I put my own twist on the spices so wanted to share my flavour combo here.#Christmasgift

Going through chef’s block this week for #GoldenApron23 and thought I’the get a friend to do the cooking for me. My first corn nuts ever where at a bar in Italy and I instantly fell in love. Even more daring was the fact that these were homemade but “as I was told”, 10x better than the store bought version. Anyway, I reached out to corn nut stuffer for a recipe and I am here to share it with you.

This date nut rolls is naturally sweet is very healthy and easy to make we will not use any additional sugar for this recipe.

Shoutout to my roomie we had an amazing rice noodle bowl for dinner and I got a free recipe for the #GoldenApron23 challenge this week 😉

When I first made Blondies, I used my ‘Brownies‘ recipe and I simply replaced Dark Chocolate with White Chocolate. It didn’t work. White Chocolate version became too wet. You would definitely need more Flour. Today I added Macadamia Nuts, that are native to Australia. You can use other nuts such as Walnuts, Almonds OR Pistachios. But Nuts are optional.

Macadamia Nuts are native to Australia and this delicious slice is very popular. If it is difficult to find Macadamia Nuts where you live, you can use other Nuts such as Cashews, Walnuts OR Pecans, but the slice wouldn’t taste the same. Smaller OR broken Macadamia Nuts are less expensive and they are perfect for this slice.

Another healthy breakfast I tried and it was lovely with the crunchy broken mixed nuts. Really nice. #breakfast

If you can’t have any ingredients, use alternatives! That’s how I have been inventing new food. When I tried to make ‘Shiso’ flavoured miso paste and couldn’t find 'Shiso', I used fresh Basil leaves. Thinking of ‘Pesto Genovese’, I used Pine Nuts instead of Walnuts. OMG!!! Miso, Basil and Pine Nuts created a new flavour. What would you use this paste for?

Home-made pesto is SO MUCH NICER than the commercial ready-made ones, and it is SO EASY to make!!!! I first made it in Florence during a family holiday years ago, and haven't stopped since. You can make a big batch and store for the week to use in all sorts of recipes. Pesto isn't only great with pasta - it also works really well in stuffed jacket potatoes, as a sauce for french beans, a spoonful in tomato soup gives the soup a fabulous tasty turn, and a teaspoon in home-made guacamole is a worthy substitute for fresh coriander... My sons even like eating my pesto spread generously on warm toast. Tradutional pesto sauce uses pine nuts but actually other nuts work really well too, especially cashews becauae their sweetness combines beautifully with the peppery and intense flavour of fresh basil. Keeps well in the fridge for a week.

#sababutt#saladsI was feeling bored and hungry at the same time I’ve looked into my fruit basket then my mind was rushed to create some rainbow 🌈 bowl with fruit and nuts & turned over this deliciousness at last but not least for some yummy treat I’m in love with my own creations for sure 😋😋

Talking about Laddoos, i have never been too fond of them, except for Moti Choor Laddoo, which I would never dream of making at home. Any part of India and you'll find several varieties of them made with a variety of flours, and methods. As far as I can understand, for any laddoo made from using flour, the flour needs to be roasted till aromatic and during the roasting process, a certain amount of fat like ghee is used to cook the flour while roasting. Some more fat is used to bind the sweetened roasted flour into round shapes and a laddoo is born.See more on my blog here: http://www.saffrontrail.com/diwali-delicacy-5-minute-besan-laddoos-recipe
