Chicken Noodle Broth.🍜
_
This is the kinda meal I make when I’m feeling a bit meh (aka bloated & breaking out) or feeling like I’m on the cusp of getting ill. It’s full of colourful gut & skin nourishing foods like collagen rich bone broth, antioxidant & anti inflammatory herbs & zinc rich sesame seeds.

Peeling hungry? Have a slice of Lemon Breakfast Tr

Peeling hungry? Have a slice of Lemon Breakfast Tray Bake 🍋🍰
_
Guys I’m loving learning with @foodtographyschool . This is my ‘styling sweets’ assignment where my aim was to draw attention to pretty features like icing, fruit & decorations, & to disguise less interesting things like the boring orange-beige hue of the cake, & the solid rectangular shape (which I’ve offset by cutting slices of the cake & styling the scene with rounder, more feminine shapes i.e round lemons, bowls, & a little bit of silky cloth). What do you think? 🤔
_
Here’s the RECIPE 👩🏻‍🍳🍋
.
WET ingredients 💦
1/4 cup @coconutcollab yogurt
1/4 cup oat/ almond milk
Juice of a lemon
2 eggs
2 tbsp honey/ maple
.
DRY ingredients 🥄
Zest of 2 lemons
1 tbsp chia seeds
3/4 cup oat flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup @revfoods vanoffee protein powder
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
.
Lemon Coconut ICING 🧁
1/2 cup @coconutcollab yogurt
2 tbsp honey/ maple
Juice of half a lemon

METHOD:
Add all the wet ingredients into a bowl & whisk. Then add the dry & mix to combine. Transfer to a lined baking tray (I used a little coconut oil & a dusting of tapioca flour). Bake at 180 C for approx 20 mins. Whilst it cooks, add all the icing ingredients to a bowl & mix, store in the fridge. Allow the cake to cool, then spread on the icing. Decorate however you want; I used lemon wedges, desiccated coconut & chia seeds.

Note: you can freeze the cake (half of mine is in the freezer) but the icing is best served fresh.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and spoilt yourself rotten. Our Christmas was a little different but actually really lovely. We opened our stockings, got sparkled up to toast merry Christmas to our neighbours, then got dinner ready before opening up presents.

Swipe to see the high spirits of the morning descend into an alcohol fuelled post dinner slump. 🍗🥂🥱

Here’s to a MUCH better 2021 🥂😘

Banana Marble Cake 🍌🍰 with peanut butter bri

Banana Marble Cake 🍌🍰 with peanut butter brittle 🥜 & chocolate banana shards 🍫.
_
For my 3rd Food Photography School assignment I had to think outside the box & be innovative with styling. I decided to shoot banana bread because when you think of nana bread you expect a loaf, so instead I baked it in a pan. Instead of caramelised banana slices on top I added slices to melted chocolate (& quite frankly I fancied eating some 🤣🤫) & made peanut butter brittle to decorate my cake. The shards also add intrigue & height.

RECIPE 👩🏻‍🍳 okay confession, I have misplaced my recipe so the below is a guesstimate 👇🏻
.
🍌For the BANANA CAKE
2 large bananas
2 large eggs
3 tbsp mylk
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp maple syrup
3/4 cup almond flour/ meal
1/4 cup oat flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
.
Mix the wet, then add the dry & combine. Transfer half the mix to a separate bowl & add....
.
🍫For the CHOCOLATE CAKE
2 tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp maple
1 tbsp mylk
.
Mix. To a lined tin, alternate between pouring in plain mixture & chocolate mixture. Bake at 180 C for approx 35 - 40 mins. Allow to cool before decorating with shards. [I like to serve a slice with coconut yogurt].

🥜PEANUT BUTTER BRITTLE
See my previous post
.
🍌🍫CARAMELISED BANANA CHOCOLATE SHARDS
To a frying pan add a little coconut oil & a generous sprinkling of coconut sugar. Slice a banana & add it to the pan. Let it sit for approx 2 mins (or until browning) & flip. Melt a bar of dark chocolate, pour onto a lined baking tray. Add the slices to the chocolate. Allow to set in the freezer.

PEANUT BUTTER BRITTLE 🥜🍯
_
I was experimenting with ways to decorate my banana cake for my 3rd photography assignment & thought I’d try turning my usual caramel source recipe into more of a brittle. Usually I use almond butter & melt everything in pan to make caramel sauce, but this recipe calls for crunchy peanut butter (I used @pipandnut ) a pan, an oven, & a freezer. Don’t fret, it’s super simple.👇🏻
_
Chef hat on, YOU’LL NEED:
🥥1/4 cup coconut oil
🍯1/4 cup maple/ coconut nectar
🥜3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
🌼1/2 tsp vanilla
👌🏻1/4 tsp cinnamon*
*I always add cinnamon to anything sweet to help balance blood sugar levels
_
METHOD: preheat oven to 180 C. Pop a pan on a low heat. Add the coconut oil & maple. Allow the oil to melt, mix to combine the sugar & oil. Add everything else. Mix. Let it come to the boil & KEEP STIRRING (we don’t want the sugar to burn). Transfer the peanut sauce to a lined baking tray. Bake for 7 -10 mins. Allow to cool, (it’ll start to set & be very sticky). Now transfer the tray to a freezer for 1 hour+ so our brittle can set nice & firm. Store in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy x

This would make a lovely homemade gift or a great bake off style show stopper finishing touch to a cake. ✨
