Recipes



A note on the recipes: All recipes are tried and tested a number of times before I post them. I always credit cookbooks and recipes that inspire me, though I must stress that I adapt recipes (sometimes extensively) to suit my taste and my food philosophy. I invariably try to reduce sugar and rarely use refined sugar, substituting it for other natural sweeteners where I can. Maple syrup is pure maple syrup, not the stuff that is mixed with sugar or corn syrup. I also have a preference for spelt flour (wholemeal or plain), buckwheat, almond meal and other nut flours. Milk is always whole/full-fat or buttermilk. Meat, milk, and eggs are always organic, as are most fruit and veg.

A sweet note for speakers of Dutch:
brown sugar = bruine basterdsuiker
coconut palm sugar = kokosbloesemsuiker
maple syrup = ahornsiroop / esdoornsiroop
palm sugar = palmsuiker
raw cane sugar = ruwe rietsuiker
sucanat = oerzoet / oersuiker

Also:
baking powder = bakpoeder
bicarbonate of soda/baking soda = zuiveringszout, baksoda  
cream of tartar = wijnsteenbakpoeder
