What do you do when you’re making aioli at 9pm and have completely run out of lemons? Send the boyfriend to the supermarket in the middle of the night? Nah. Give up, aioli-less and go to bed? Hah – yeah right! What we need is another liquid ingredient that tastes tangy, zingy and acidic… You guessed it, it’s apple cider …

Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Bread + Home-made Savoury Pumpkin Puree

Alison Murray Baking, Dairy-free, DIY, Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian 4 Comments

While discussing my favourite foods with a friend from LA recently I discovered some generalities about Americans and Australians – notably that many residents of the US don’t seem to find a savoury pumpkin dish enticing while myself and many Australian’s find it hard to grasp this popular vegetable as a dessert ingredient.

All week I’ve been awaiting this moment.  While playing with a jar of flour and water was fun and games, after seven days of feedings, stirrings, sour smells, bubbles and a batch of waffles I’m ready to bake up some bread. Even if it takes me all day to do it! Jokes aside, this recipe fits into my preferred method …
