Healthy Vegan - Turmeric Pasta with Blood Orange Chilli Vinaigrette Dressing

Image
This marigold yellow pasta with marmalade coloured roasted peppers and butternut squash was lunch for work - twice, last week.   As I was tucking in, it got some of my colleagues all intrigued and curious 'Gosh, that pasta is glowing'. The pasta is simply infused with turmeric powder.  I've also tried this method with beetroot See HERE .   Although I have used ready made penne pasta here, you could easily make vegan Turmeric pasta from scratch too, just add a teaspoon or half to the flour when your mixing and kneading.  Anyway, the turmeric pasta on its own was a bit bland, so I decided to make make a vinaigrette dressing for it with some Blood Oranges that were mingling with the lemons in a bowl. The Blood Orange Chilli Oil was spicy and quite tasty elevated by the addition of my bottle of Welsh Blodyn Aur Rapeseed Chilli Oil.    Of course, you can make your own Chilli Oil at home and I probably would had I grown my own chillies, but sometimes whe...

Healthy Vegan - Vegan Friendly Giant 'Jaffa' Cake

Image
How Golden Am I?  Have you noted the last four recipes have been made with gold coloured vegetables and also happen to be accidentally vegan too. Well here is another - my Giant 'Jaffa' Cake.   I was inspired to make this by the groovy chics at  Kind Cakes, Mean Bakes  in Bristol.  They make  awesome biscuit shaped Jaffa Orange and Raspberry Fakes.   I thought I would give Jaffa Cake a go too, but in the form of one big cake that could be sliced and shared.  I decided to enhance and a dapt  my own vegan Chocolate Orange Cake . To demonstrate how large this cake it, hence the deliberate use of the descriptive giant in the title of the blog, look at my hands on the side. This is a whopper of a cake  measuring 36cm, just over 14 inches .  I made in my new PushPan, I have to admit I did struggle pushing the pan out of the tin, but it came out with a bit of patience, good job I am not doing a honest review on it as it was g...

Healthy Vegan - Darjeeling Pecan Tea Loaf

Image
This is a softly scented Darjeeling Pecan Tea Loaf. I was prompted to make when vegan Jaffa Cake' , after responding to her comment.  I had a little nosy around a blog she followed and clocked a Tea Loaf recipe that would use up 2 tablespoons of marmalade sitting at the bottom of the jar left over from the Jaffa Cake recipe ,  It was not long before I found myself in the kitchen measuring out the ingredients and those I d id not have, I substituted with what I had. For example her cake was made with Orange flavour Redbush (Rooibos), I used Darjeeling.     I am not a Darjeeling tea drinker, my husband is and I've used his teabags in the past for Banana and Darjeeling Cake : this loaf though is suitable for vegans.   There was something Welsh  Bara Brith  about it too which I liked. So even though this cake is made with tea, you still need a cuppa with it to wash it down.  I am sharing these 'Cake' with Love Cake: the theme is...
