Vegetable Cutlets In Dijon Mushroom Sauce + A Giveaway

Three kinds of mustard, grainy, some fancy local version and Dijon mustard. ALWAYS Dijon Mustard! I love the smoothness of it and spice kick in the nose that is beautifully balanced.
Mustard and Mayo - together, and just the two of them, they make the best spreads for sandwiches!
Cherry Marzipan Tart With Cognac Cream

To top it with fresh cream whipped with a pour of cognac was rather natural. Cherries and cognac have a relationship not exactly incestuous but yet very wicked and very very alluring. Then, I must needs macerate the fruit in cognac, after all. That was the final layer and it was decadent!
I don't think I need to elaborate how amazing this tart was. Light, fruity and indulgent all in a bite. It does happen to be gluten free, but I must insist that as incidental as it is, it is also essential; The crust made with simple ground oats and almonds enhances the flavor. It may not be quite as good if you replaced it with a rice and bean based gluten free blend as it would have no added flavor. You can certainly use a regular wheat crust if you are able to and it will be good. This crust, however, is perfect for this tart...
Let us be NOURISHED! Spring 2015 Issue, Sprouted - Out Now!
I am super thrilled to announce that NOURISHED continues into its second year and I am just as thrilled to work on it today as I was when I first designed the concept and the magazine layout. Yet, there are some changes, as to be expected from a year's worth of experience.
This issue carries a modified layout which highlights the visual elements even more thorough full page photographs and blow outs. Also, the feature story while staying with my favorite theme of linking food and traditions with people and culture focuses more on the production and closer connections with nature with a view to providing insight on the real and agrarian beginnings of our dinners.
Most importantly, I have learnt that sharing is the best way to enabling. With that in mind, all digital editions of NOURISHED will be available for FREE download. If you are interested in buying a print version, please email me! Also, starting with this anniversary edition, NOURISHED will also be available for viewing and download on the Issuu platform.
