Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Bacon- the carrots and parsnips are roasted until golden and caramelized and coated in a sweet glaze. Lots of crumbled bacon adds a wonderful smokiness. The carrots and parsnips are coated in a mixture of olive oil and butter for maximum flavor and seasoned with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. They are roasted for 35 to 40 minutes to really bring out their sweetness. Next they are coated with a 2-ingredient glaze made from cane syrup and orange juice. Cane syrup can be a little difficult to find, but it has a long history in...

Last year I was approached by a publisher about writing a book. A kind of guide to the things I am doing here, separated into sections a year in the garden, and year with the bees, a year of wild food, etc. This was to be a narrative, interspersed with recipes and more practical information such as calendars and tables, wild food identifying guides and the like.

Tempeh skeptics, this recipe will make a convert of you: Crumbling tempeh into ripping-hot oil makes for odd-size bits and pieces that are crispy, golden brown, andespecially when glazed with a spicy-sticky sambal sauceaddictive.

I enjoy drinking a tall glass or two of this yummy, alcohol infused, creamy goodness during the coziest season of the year. Coquito is commonly made with: Coconut milk, Puerto-Rican Rum, Condensed Milk, and Vanilla, some makers even add eggs to the mix but thats a debate I wont get into today hahah! However, due...

This spiced parsnip cake is pretty special! its packed with flavour and texture and is a real favourite of mine. I decorated it with some fennel seed pods, because fennel seeds are one of the spicy flavours in this cake. They are just for decoration. A combination of spices, nuts and orange zest and some sliced candied stem ginger make the cake full of aromatic flavour that makes the parsnip flavour sing. I basically swapped carrot for parsnip and added a few other things and then frosted it with a mascarpone cream cheese frosting, sweetened with a spiced caramel sauce....
