Is there anything nicer than a Cinnamon Scroll on a bitter cold winter's day? How about the same taste in a tea cake, that's really easy to whip up and then pop straight in the oven while you watch a sunday movie? Why delay gratification when you can pop this cake in the oven and make the same icing you would be having on your scrolls anyway! Same satisfying taste with half the labour. I swapped the regular flour out for Gluten free Lauke special white flour and it worked out super nice. What...

Happy October! Since its the time of Oktoberfest and Halloween, I thought I'd share my Gluten Free Pretzels recipe that I created earlier in the year. I love that this Wildsourdough bread flour was able to help me create a gluten free version of the pretzels that I love. Enjoy the recipe and enjoy October!

From the minute the cold autumn chills remind us that winter is on its way, gardeners are plotting and planning for the following year. The reality is a tad more complex. In winter we think of high summer, in spring our heads are in autumn, in summer I wonder what I will plant for colour and food in wintertime, and finally in autumn we are planting bulbs for spring. It’s a constant evolution for our gardens.

While its immensely tempting to rest every single bed under a thick layer of mulch, cardboard or black plastic and head north to the sunnier states for winter, I try to rest one bed and plant lovely greens to enjoy for winter suppers.

In many places throughout the world, autumn can feel like a clear ending. Visiting Europe during autumn in the past, it seems so clearly defined that when the season is over, there’s nothing to really look forward to for awhile. Local gardeners tell me ‘that’s it, I’ll be covering up the beds and hunkering down for the winter”. And why not! Leaves fall and crunch underfoot, evenings turn crispy cold, harvests wrap up and days get dramatically shorter. Not that much in a vegetable patch can surv

While both muesli and granola are a mix of grains, seeds, nuts and dried fruits, the main difference is that granola is sweetened with honey or maple syrup and is baked. Muesli is not baked.
They each are regarded as a healthy breakfast.
