Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

Let me begin this post by saying how excited I am to share this doughnut recipe with you. What can I say? Doughnuts are exciting. They thrill me to the bone. Second, let me lay one thing out on the table: Making good, raised doughnuts at home is not as easy as you’d think . For years (yes, you heard me) I tried in vain to make the perfect homemade doughnut—not just a fat, bready wad of fried dough with a sweet glaze, but a delicate, light ring of love with a slightly crispy surface and a wonderful flavor. Like “those doughtnuts”, and I don’t mean Krispy Kreme. I mean the doughnuts sold at the tiny doughnut dive in our small town. They’re the best raised doughnuts in the world. The shop is owned by an older resident of our town whose temperament can range from kind, welcoming, and gracious to a complete mirror of a certain soup purveyor in a certain long-running series starring a certain man with the last name of Seinfeld. Think I’m kidding? The doughnut guy in our town once made my summer babysitter…

A horse of a different colour

It’s strange that many of us, when confronted by a tough piece of meat or unpalatable processed salami type of product, are inclined to dismiss it as “Tasting of bloody horsemeat”, strange because I’m sure many of us haven’t ever tasted horsemeat. I know I haven’t and to be perfectly truthful I have no desire to. As far as I am concerned horses should be galloping round race tracks or cantering along sunset beaches, not sizzling on the griddle waiting to be anointed with garlic butter. Of course up to now I’ve always been happy to blame the French for trying popularise the consumption of one of man’s favourite quadrapeds, I’ve found it expedient to blame the French for a lot of things and rather bizarrely no-one seems to rush to their defence on any matter but it seems I may have been mistaken because Italy is the largest consumer of horsemeat in Europe with more than 48,000 metric tonnes eaten every year and it is a common dish among youngsters because of its high iron content. Now I can only presume that they stick it in the salamis because I’ve never heard of…

Raw Food Wednesday: Taco Salad with Blood Oranges, Stuffed Mini-Peppers

Raw Food Wednesday 2/03 Taco Salad with Blood Oranges Stuffed Mini-Peppers We made the taco salad again , slightly changing a couple of things around. The shells used fresh and sun-dried tomatoes in place of the red bell peppers, and the filling included supremed blood oranges pieces as well as using the juice for the salad dressing base — 1 tsp. blood orange juice, pinch of salt, with 1 tbs. olive oil whisked together until emulsified. Liz made the stuffed mini-pepper with a pine nut and hemp seed filling which made for a nice one-bite appetizer. Tomato Tortillas (makes approximately 6 large tortillas) 1/2 cup flax seeds 1/2 cup water 1 cup grape tomatoes, chopped in half 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water for 20 minutes 1 tbs. olive oil 1 tbs. nama shoyu 1 jalapeño, diced 1 tsp. Mexican oregano 1 tsp. fresh ground cumin salt and pepper to taste Put the flax seeds in a spice grinder and process, then add to the vita-mix along with the water and let sit for 15 minutes. Put the tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients into the Vita-Mix and process on high until smooth. Spread out the mixture into 10″ rounds with an offset…

Torta al Testo

Dinner 2/04 Torta al Testo We came across this one while watching “Lidia’s Italy” on PBS and sort of reverse engineered it. Just use your favorite pizza dough recipe with enough dough to fill 2 12-inch cast-iron skillets. After a short baking time, remove, split in half… …and add the filling: shiitake mushrooms, soy sausages, red onion, chiles, dinosaur kale and Daiya. Spread the filling on the bottom half of the torta, put the top half back on and bake in the oven until the Dayia melts. Why yes, it does looks like a novelty burger that a guy on TV show might eat as part of a bar bet… Tags: torta , shiitake mushrooms , red onion , chiles , lacinato kale , dayia , vegan , food , dinner , tofu666 View post: Torta al Testo

Fresh Apple Juice. Drink Real. Connect to Your Food.

Fresh Apple Juice from a foam topped glass. Milky golden caramel color. Drifting particles of green and yellow, like sand sifting through a sloshing sea. Real Apple Juice. It’s not clear or shiny. It’s matte. It doesn’t catch the sunlight like a clear glass of water. It’s opaque. Like the deep sea or a river bed. It’s not perfectly bronze colored with a tinge of pretty red. It’s not even that pretty at all. It’s musty. It’s soggy. It’s hearty to swig. I sip and it’s like biting into a juicy apple. The juice runs down my throat and the sugar gives me a burst of zestful energy. Tart. Sweet. Nourishing. Real Apple Juice is alive and well - if you know where to find it. I Hate Apple Juice. All my life I’ve said that I hate apple juice. I hate the taste. I hate the color. I hate the silky clear texture and sting of the too-sweet aftertaste. But guess what. I wasn’t drinking real apple juice . I was drinking processed apple flavored extract - or even apple water…
