Waking up with Loof

It has been a long time since I have made a blog post. And for the first time in blogging over 10 years I was okay with not creating and sharing. But I am slowly dreaming of photo shoots again, baking pie and thinking: I must share this recipe. And with going back to blogging I am going back to our first blog love: sharing breakfast recipes- although I must admit that the very first recipe I ever shared on FB was a dirty martini (highly recommend by the way).

Sambal badjak

If you are not from Indonesia , Malasysia, Surinam or the Netherlands you might wander what sambal is. It is a delicious Indonesian chili sauce that is used as condiment that can be added to soups, stews, rice or noodle dishes and I even add it to my grilled cheese sandwich. Mostly because I am weird….

Gf and DF Tarte tatin

Tarte tatin is a simple yet luxurious dessert and ideal for the holiday season. With a big scoop of vanilla ice creamit is even more special. We made a gluten - and dairy free version while also giving you the option for a more simple and vegan version.

We loved a mix of chestnut -and almond flour for a richer taste and structure for the gf and df version. If you want a simpler and vegan version use store bought puff pastry (obviously the vegan one)

Chocolate espresso cake

With the holiday season in sight we wanted to make a delicious two tiered chocolate espresso cake. It is vegan and gluten free and we used a few raspberries from our own garden. The ones we could save from Moos (the doxie) actually since he likes picking them.

The cake is airy and light, also allergen friendly so it is suitable for almost everyone…

XXl Cookies

As soon as I saw these cookies at The First Mess I knew I had to make them (and even double them). The First Mess is one of the few blogs where you know that the recipe is right and the outcome will taste amazing. So all credits for Laura. I doubled the recipe because more is always better and I have written it down in grams because it easier for us Dutchies and I also recplaced the avocado oil for sesame oil.

Chocolate sesame cake vegan and gf

Meet Johann his new favorite cake. The black sesame seeds give a warm and nutty flavour and this cake is airy and soft. You can find black sesame seed ( in Holland) at the Toko or Turkish supermarket and is great in savoury dishes as well. Another plus is the fact that you don’t taste the coconut cream, together with dates-the most used ingredient in vegan baking. Warm, nutty and chocolate galore.

Yes the version of Feasting on Fruit of this tart looks way prettier but my current oven is weird and simply aims to burn things. Luckily the taste was still amazing and the powdered sugar trick came once again to the rescue.And this almond date tart is simply delicious.
