Duck Breast with Cherry Liqueur Sauce

We have recently faced a supply issue on fresh chicken, being solely dependent on imports and the trading relationships with many countries. Having to do without fresh chicken means you have to opt for other sources of poultry and protein. Fortunately, duck, although considered a red meat is still available. Chancing upon some Smoked Duck Breast already seasoned with black pepper, meant trying the ‘Reverse … Continue reading Duck Breast with Cherry Liqueur Sauce

Vegan (Eggless) Banana Loaf

This was made fairly recently unlike some of my other recipes that have yet to be written up. This loaf turned out more sponge-like than the GFDF version. Perhaps due to the combination of baking soda, flaxmeal & chia seeds. This combination was easier on me than a previous successful attempt using chia seeds as an egg replacer. Do remember that too much has it’s side … Continue reading Vegan (Eggless) Banana Loaf

Reduced the amount of sugar and baking times. Continue reading Almond Citrus Biscotti Thins

Honey Banana Loaf (GFDF)

What is GFDF? Gluten Free Dairy Free. Decided to try playing around with the Gluten Free Pound Cake recipe found on the back of Bob’s Red Mill GF Stone Ground Sorghum Flour since my previous trial of using a mix of the Sorghum Flour and some others for a GFDF starter was not very successful. For future bakes, I would reduce the baking time to … Continue reading Honey Banana Loaf (GFDF)
