I have brought you some very yummy cookies today. If you remember back to late last year, I did a cooking demo on Vasili’s Garden, which you can find the link to here. Well at the same time I did that Paul, the editor of Vasili’s Garden to Kitchen Magazine, interviewed me for a piece in the magazine, under the title celebrity chef, how cool is that 🙂 (me a celebrity, lol) Well the magazine is now out and you can get your copy from the Garden centre in Coburg or from the website. …

Caramelised Banana Cake
The trunk that I photographed the cake on is an old trunk that sits in the front of my studio. It was my dad’s old school trunk, it has K Purvis stamped on to the front of it. I’m not quite sure how he moved it cos it weighs a tonne, but he would cart this thing off to boarding school with him back in the day when he was a wee lad:) He said he also took it to sea when he was a cadet engineer, so this trunk has quite literally been around the world. Oh the stories I’m sure it could tell. 🙂
Gluten Free Apple and Berry Cake
A good friend of mine is gluten intolerant and I continue to make cakes that have gluten in them, so to make up for constantly making food she can’t eat, I made her a cake she can.
I don’t think I could do it, not eat gluten I mean, I love my bread and cakes to much. I know there are all these special products and flours you can buy these days but imagine going to the local bakery and not being able to buy a loaf of bread or a cake. Thats my kind of nightmare.
I am going to try to experiment with different flours as the flour I used tasted like it had to much soda in it, Ally said she couldn’t taste it, so I think you must just get use to the taste. If anyone out there knows if it was the flour I used or just the way it is with all gluten flours I would love to know. Also can you recommend a good Gluten free flour to use?
Enjoy xxx
