There are cookbooks that you just keep on using and reading and might even add notes to. This book is filled with flour, stains, old notes and even a few postcards. I find it soothing to bake from a book where you know the end result will be delicious. And with most recipes I try to add something or even with the risk of sounding arrogant: I improve the recipe (most of the time it is adding chili and other spices because people don't use enough chili). But with this recipe- and I have made it over 5 times there is nothing to improve
Read MoreThis cake might not be the prettiest of them all but the coffee walnut combination is absolutely delicious. This cake reminds me that vegan and gluten free baking can be scrumptious.
Read MoreNot much of an introduction since I have no clue what to tell you about this recipe other than it is delicious and if you feel like baking a cake I highly recommend this recipe. So to keep it short and simple: here is the recipe…
Read MoreTarte tatin is a simple yet luxurious dessert and ideal for the holiday season. With a big scoop of vanilla ice creamit is even more special. We made a gluten - and dairy free version while also giving you the option for a more simple and vegan version.
We loved a mix of chestnut -and almond flour for a richer taste and structure for the gf and df version. If you want a simpler and vegan version use store bought puff pastry (obviously the vegan one)
Read MoreWith the holiday season in sight we wanted to make a delicious two tiered chocolate espresso cake. It is vegan and gluten free and we used a few raspberries from our own garden. The ones we could save from Moos (the doxie) actually since he likes picking them.
The cake is airy and light, also allergen friendly so it is suitable for almost everyone…
Read MoreMeet Johann his new favorite cake. The black sesame seeds give a warm and nutty flavour and this cake is airy and soft. You can find black sesame seed ( in Holland) at the Toko or Turkish supermarket and is great in savoury dishes as well. Another plus is the fact that you don’t taste the coconut cream, together with dates-the most used ingredient in vegan baking. Warm, nutty and chocolate galore.
Read MoreYes the version of Feasting on Fruit of this tart looks way prettier but my current oven is weird and simply aims to burn things. Luckily the taste was still amazing and the powdered sugar trick came once again to the rescue.And this almond date tart is simply delicious.
Read MoreTo be completely honest with you, I absolutely love kitsch. More so than I love white and minimalism. But even in my own home I go for light colours, only to then ask myself why I ever thought that was a good idea with three pets running around the house and me being the queen of getting chocolate stains absolutely everywhere. But, yes, I usually go for light colours and would describe the style of Food Bandits as “cake on marble”. But now the time has finally come for me to finally use my one true love: edible glitter. If there is ever going to be a recipe that somehow requires tiger print in any way, I will have finally completed my life goal on this blog. For the holidays we have created this wonderfully soft chocolate Bundt cake, complete with chocolate sauce. And now that the holidays are finally here, I think everyone can use a little bit of glitter or fireworks in their life.
