  • 120g (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 40g (1/3 cup) powdered icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1-2 tablespoons very cold water

    For the filling:
  • 500g (1 lb, approx 2 large) cooking apples (such as bramley or granny smith), peeled, cored and chopped into chunks
  • 200g (7oz, approx 2 small) eating apples (such as cox or macintosh), peeled, cored and chopped into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Make the pastry first.
  2. Simmer or steam the kale leaves for a few minutes until tender. Refresh under cold water, drain, squeeze out any excess moisture and puree with a hand held blender until fine. Set aside.
  3. In a food processor, pulse the flour and butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk, sugar, zest and kale puree, then pulse gently until it forms a ball. You may need to add a tablespoon or so of cold water. You don’t want it too wet.
  4. Press the dough into a flat disc shape, to aid rolling later, cover in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least half an hour or even overnight.
    For the filling:
  5. Stir the chopped apples, water, sugar and lemon juice together in a pan and simmer, uncovered for about 10 minutes until soft and the moisture has mostly evaporated. Remove from the heat, stir in the cinnamon and allow to cool while cooking the pastry.
    To assemble:
  6. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9” pie dish with butter.
  7. Roll 2/3 of the pastry out on a lightly floured surface until thin and line the pie dish. Spread the cooled apples into the pastry shell.
  8. Roll out the remaining pastry and cut into even ½ inch strips. Lay strips over the filling horizontally leaving ½ inch gaps. Fold back every other strip halfway. Lay a vertical strip down the middle, unfold the strips over it, fold back the other strips, lay another strip vertially and repeat to weave. Tuck the strips under the rim and crimp.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden.

Green Chocolate Candy Melts

Ingredients
  • 200g white chocolate (best quality if you can)
  • gel food color (ca. 1/2 tsp. total)
How-to-make-Homemade-Candy-Melts.jpg

1. Break the chocolate into its pieces. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add food color until you have the desired shade.


A note about color: because white chocolate is not white, but really more yellow consider that in your color choices. It is easy to make teal and green tones that already have a hint of yellow in it. When you use purple and it turns out very dark because of needed a lot of food color to get out of the brown phase.


3. Fill the colored chocolate into a one way piping bag. Once all the chocolate is filled in completely, cut the tip to make a small opening.
4. Start piping little dollops onto the parchment paper.
5. Wait until completely dry before moving them into an air tight container or gift bag.

Green Lemonade

green+lemonade.jpg


Ingredients:
5 x 4.5oz Apples
3 x 12 oz Cucumbers
2 x 3-4 oz Lemons
2 x large handfuls of Baby Spinach or Kale

Directions:

Cube the apples. No need to remove the stem, skin or seeds. Slice or cube the cucumber. Use a potato peeler to get the yellow skin off the lemons until just white shows. The more yellow skin you leave the more bitter it will taste. Rinse spinach.

*The lemon gives the juice a great lemonade flavor while masking the strong aftertaste from the use of Kale. So I would not recommend omitting the lemons…

Poison cake*




*Cake is not really poisoned. :rolleyes:


Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C)

9″x13″rectangle cake pan, prepared with parchment paper or cake release.

Ingredients:

375 grams sugar (2 cups)
250 grams soft unsalted butter (9 oz)
3 large eggs
250 grams all purpose flour (1 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
250 ml milk (room temperature) (1 1/8 cup)
2-3 teaspoons almond extract (Vanilla can be used instead)
Green food colouring

Cocoa icing:

Powdered icing sugar (I never really use any measurements for this. I just add 1 cup or more)
unsweetened cocoa powder (Use a little less than the amount of powdered icing sugar)
A few tbsp of boiled lukewarm water
I don’t really use any specific recipe for the icing. I just take 2-3 cups of powdered sugar. About 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and whisk it well together. Then I add 1-2 tablespoons of cooled boiled water and mix it in. Add more water if its to thick and more powdered sugar if its too thin. It should have a thick pouring consistency, that is easy to spread on with a spatula.

Step 1:

In a bowl sift together the all purpose flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 2:

In another bowl cream the unsalted butter and sugar well together.

Step 3:

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well in between. Scrape down the sides when needed.

Step 4:

Next add the flour mix in three parts and the milk in two. Mix well in between.

Step 5:

Stir in the almond flavour. Then add drops of green food colouring. Be careful not to use too much food colouring as the colour gets a little more dark while baking.

Step 6:

Pour the green cake batter into the cake pan and smooth with a rubber spatula. To avoid the cake from getting too brown, place the cake on the lowest rack in the oven. Bake the cake for about 40-60 minutes and a cake tester comes out clean.

Step 7:

Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before you spread on the cocoa icing. Cut the cake into squares and enjoy.

Avocado Lime Cheesecake

cheesecake_2657298b.jpg


Serves 12

For the base:
125g (4½oz) pecans, soaked and dried as above
45g (1½oz) desiccated coconut
70g (2½oz) cacao nibs
185g (6½oz) pitted dates (approx 32)
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted and at room temperature

For the filling:

560g (1lb 2½oz) avocado flesh (from approx 5 medium-large avocados)
200ml (7fl oz) lime juice (roughly 8 to 10 limes)
175ml (6fl oz) coconut oil, melted and at room temperature
1 tsp lime zest
190g (6¾oz) honey

Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/gas mark 2.

Place the pecans and desiccated coconut on a lined baking-tray lined. Place in the oven for seven to eight minutes, until toasted. Transfer the pecans to a food processor and add the rest of the base ingredients. Blend until the mixture is crumbly (don't let it go completely smooth) and holds together when pinched.

Line the base and sides of an 18cm (7in) round cake tin with baking-paper and tip in the base mixture. Press this down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon, ensuring it is neat and flat where it meets the tin. Transfer the tin to the fridge while you prepare the filling.

Place all of the ingredients for the filling into the food processor and blend until the mixture is completely smooth and silky.

Check for taste – add more lime juice, zest or honey according to preference, but it's best to keep this deliciously tangy.

Remove the cake tin from the fridge and pour the filling over the base. Cover the tin, using a plate or clingfilm, and return it to the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

To serve, run a knife between the tin and the cake and carefully push the base up from the bottom. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
