Quince Pie ♥

Today I’d like to write about semi-forgotten and unpopular – quince! It’s neither an apple nor a pear. Quince is an absolutely unique and gorgeous fruit! The quince has been a part of many ancient cultures and known as a popular ingredient since medieval times. It has a firm flesh, fuzzy skin and slightly astringent…

Coconut Banana Bread with Chia (gluten-free)

Last week in the absence of any regular flour I was making this bread for my friend. Fantasizing all the way through, I tried to figure out where it would take me. The fantasy resulted into an incredibly fragrant, moist and spongy loaf of banana coconut bread! People’s feedback is always a kind of confirmation…

Rice Corn & Coconut Flour Cookies (gluten-free)

Looks like making gluten-free cookies for a child becomes my weekly tradition. I don’t mind! Just enjoying baking new yummy things so much! In this recipe a combination of rice, corn and coconut flours magically turns butter-free dough into the crisp, shortbread-like cookies. Happy baking!:) Makes a few dozen of cookies (2 regular trays) Takes…

Coconut Corn Flour Cookies with Carrot (gluten-free)

Take #4 of gluten-free cookies. This time with carrot flavour and chickpea flour. Chickpea flour absorbs the liquids well, whatever you cook with it.

These berries I’ve collected really by the sea:) So, to make scones as yellow as possible, I’ve added corn flour and orange zest (fresh and dried). And the bright berries just complemented this composition:) The berries of sea buckthorn add some occasional…

Coconut Corn Shortbread Cookies (gluten-free)

There’s nothing like butter or margarine in this recipe but the cookies magnificently remind shortbread. Impressive, right? I guess the mixture of coconut and corn flours gives them such crumbly and tender texture. Moreover, coconut is responsible for an incredible flavour, and corn flour for a yellow colour:) Recently I’ve started making gluten-free cookies experimenting with…

Matcha Corn Muffins with Pumpkin Seeds (Vegan)

My first matcha muffins! Vegan! I have quality matcha powder but the muffins didn’t turn greenish despite the batter initially was lightly green…Actually this recipe created quite a unique taste that involves corn, tea, somewhat nutty and obviously sweet. If you know how to make matcha muffins green or have a recipe, please let me…
