Ginger and apple upside down cake
November 8th, 2009
Reminiscent of gingerbread, but with a delightfully fruity twist on top! I was hoping the mashed banana/ milk/ maple syrup combo would do the trick that brown sugar normally does for an upside down cake (no way I was using half a cup of sugar) — It didn’t caramelise in the way I had hoped. [...]
Wholegrain blueberry & apple pancakes
October 22nd, 2009
The perfect way to start a weekend – I adapted our favourite banana pancakes recipe, this time sweetening the mixture with the grated apple.

Pork and black-eyed-pea meatballs in tomato sauce

I found a recipe for the traditional African version [...]

The pastry in this tasty pie is made from a combination of multigrain sourdough bread crumbs, rye flour and cooked white beans, mashed. You will be surprised by how delicious a pastry can be without added oil or butter. A meal in itself, or serve with a simple green salad.
Apple cake with banana, coconut and ricotta topping
July 12th, 2009
One of the most disappointing things about being on a diabetic diet is missing out on things. Saying no to rich desserts is fine most of the time-particularly if the blood sugar spike makes you feel unwell. There are some occasions though, like birthdays, when it is nice to be able to have a piece [...]
