Chocolate Beetroot Cake
What better than to use this ruby red vegetable to spoil your valentine? This cake or cakes if you decide to make small ones, far from being earthy and dense, is moist, fudgey and a divine chocolate delight – too good not to share with the one you love. We first made this cake back in November for wedding of some very dear friends and they fell in love with it. Vegan and gluten free, it doesn’t take long to make and keeps really well… so you could make it tomorrow and it will stay tasty until you ice and serve it on Tuesday – maybe with a wee glass of prosecco?! Our recipe made enough for 5 small heart cakes and a 9″ shallow cake – Lots of love x…
Noodle Salad
At Cuddly Carrot, we are colour addicts. We live in bright warm colourful houses and wear multi coloured clothes and our food is no different! Food without colour is just not worth eating, so we try and pack in as much colour and variety into our dishes as possible. This noodle salad is packed with bright hues of orange and red and purple as well as a brilliant combination of tastes to make you forget it’s grey and dull outside! Keep this sunshine inside with this great lunch dish. …
Coriander Tips!!
We’ve all bought a bunch of coriander for a specific recipe and not managed to get through it all before it goes slimy and tired and ends up in the compost.
This week on cuddly carrot we’ve got 3 recipes that use coriander – shakshuka, bhendi and tomato sabzi and puy lentil salad. So hopefully you’ll get through a whole bunch! But we know you’re quite unlikely to make them all at once.
When you buy a bunch of fresh coriander you can keep it alive by washing it and putting it in a plastic box or plastic bag in the fridge. This way it won’t wilt away to a sad heap worth nothing better than enriching your compost! Enjoy!!
Flapjacks
This recipe has been a staple in our family since we started going to school. It’s gone through several reinventions and reworkings in its time and is almost unrecognisable from the orginal. They make an excellent snack, rich in energy and of course tastiness….
