R E C I P E B O O K PEACH & BLUEBERRY GREEK YOGURT CAKE P R E PA R AT I O N PREP TIME: COOK TIME: TOTA L T I M E : 20 MINUTES 1 MINUTE 1 HOUR, 20 MINUTES YIELD:1 C A K E , U S I N G 9 x 3 - I N C H S P R I N G F O R M PA N INGREDIENTS • 1 And 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder • 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda • 2 Peaches, Sliced Into Wedges • 1/2 Stick Butter, Softened • 6 Oz Blueberries • 1 Cup Sugar • 1 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar • 2 Eggs INSTRUCTIONS 1 Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Grease the side and the bottom of the pan with butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom of a 9x3-inch springform pan (or 9 inch round cake pan) with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper too. 2 Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, together into a medium bowl. 3 In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar, and 2 eggs until very light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes on high speed. Add vanilla and Greek yogurt and continue beating until very creamy and light in color, for about 1 more minute. 4 Keeping the mixer speed low, mix in the flour mix until combined. Do not overmix. 5 Transfer the cake batter to the springform pan. Top with sliced peaches, and scatter blueberries evenly on top in the spaces between the peach slices. Sprinkle the fruit with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. 6 Bake until cake turns golden, and the tester comes out clean in the center, about 1 hour, depending on your oven. Midway through baking, I like to put some extra peach slices and extra blueberries on top of the cake for prettiness, and return cake to baking. 7 When the cake is done baking, let it cool (still in the baking pan) on a wire rack. After cake has cooled for about 40 minutes, release the cake from the springform pan. At this point, if the cake is cool enough, you can slide your hand under the cake, between the parchment paper and the bottom portion of the springform pan and move the cake with the parchment paper attached to its bottom onto a cake plate easily. 8 If using a 9 inch round cake pan, cook in pan for about 40 minutes or more (up to 1 hour, depending on your oven), then invert onto a plate.

C O M R E C I P E B O O K GLUTEN FREE SOFT BATCH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES P R E PA R AT I O N PREP TIME: COOK TIME: TOTA L T I M E : 10 MINUTES >12 MINUTE >25 MINUTES Y I E L D : ABOUT 20 COOKIES, DEPENDING UPON SIZE INGREDIENTS • 1 7/8 Cups (260 G) All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour • 6 Tablespoons (84 G) Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature • 1 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum (Omit If Your Blend Already Contains It) • 6 1/3 Tablespoons (57 G) Cornstarch • 5 Tablespoons (60 G) Vegetable Shortening, Melted And Cooled (I Use Spectrum Nonhydrogenated Vegetable Shortening) • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt • 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda • 1 Egg (60 G, Out Of Shell) + 1 Egg Yolk At • 2/3 Cup (133 G) Granulated Sugar • 1/2 Cup (109 G) Packed Light Brown Sugar Room Temperature, Beaten • 1 Cup (6 Ounces) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, Tossed With 1 Teaspoon Cornstarch INSTRUCTIONS 1 Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line rimmed baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper and set them aside. 2 In a large bowl, place the all purpose gluten free flour blend, xanthan gum, cornstarch, salt, baking soda and granulated sugar, and whisk to combine well. Add the light brown sugar, and whisk once again to combine, working out any lumps in the brown sugar. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the butter, shortening, vanilla, egg and egg yolk, mixing to combine well after each addition. The dough will be thick and soft. Add the chips tossed with cornstarch, and mix until evenly distributed throughout the dough. 3 Divide the dough into pieces of about 2 1/2 tablespoons each, roll each tightly into a ball and then place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Do not flatten the balls of dough. Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator or freezer to chill until firm (about 1 hour in the refrigerator, or 10 minutes in the freezer). 4 Once the dough has chilled, place in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or just until the balls of dough have melted and spread and the cookies are set in the center. They will be very lightly brown around the edges, and some may even be slightly wet toward the center. Be careful not to over bake the cookies. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheet or until firm.

Omit the Xanthan gum if you are using a ready made flour mixture which has gum added. 5 Add flour mix o butter/sugar and mix well until combined. 6 Your ‘dough’ may be soft, especially if you used dairy free spread. If you find it is super soft then put it in the fridge for half an hour to firm up a little 7 Press your dough into the lined baking pan and spread out evenly with an offset spatula, I sometimes find that the back of a spoon works well too. 8 It’s hard to tell when looking at the baking pan, but try and get the dough spread with an even thickness. 9 Bake at 350 for 20 mins or until lightly brown. 10 While base is cooking make the filling, mix all the topping ingredients except the powdered sugar. When base is cooked pour over topping and return to the oven to bake for a further 30 minutes or until the center is set and no longer moves when you shake the pan. 11 Cool for a couple of hours, cut into squares, dust with icing sugar when fully cooled.

C O M R E C I P E B O O K 3-INGREDIENT FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE P R E PA R AT I O N PREP TIME: COOK TIME: TOTA L T I M E : 15 MINUTES 25 MINUTES 40 MINUTES Y I E L D : 8-10 SERVINGES INGREDIENTS • 8 Large Eggs, Cold • 1 Lb. Dark, Semisweet Or Bittersweet Chocolate, Coarsely Chopped • 16 Tbsp. (2 Sticks) Unsalted Butter, Cut Into 16 Pieces • Optional Toppings: Powdered Sugar And/Or Berries INSTRUCTIONS 1 Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper or waxed paper and grease the sides of the pan. (Be sure to grease the sides really well!) Wrap the outside of the pan with 2 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and set it in a large roasting pan, or any pan that’s larger than the springform. Bring a kettle or pot of water to boil. 2 In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs at high speed until the volume doubles. This usually takes about 5 minutes. 3 Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and butter together. You can either do this in a double boiler on the stove (by placing the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl, set over a pan of almost-simmering water, and stirring until melted and smooth). Or you can do this in the microwave (by heating the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth). Then fold about a third of the beaten eggs into the chocolate mixture using a large rubber spatula until only a few streaks of egg are visible. Fold in half of the remaining egg foam, and then the last half of the foam, until the mixture is totally homogenous. 4 Scrape the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the surface with a rubber spatula. Place the roasting pan on the oven rack and VERY carefully pour in enough boiling water to come about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake until the cake has risen slightly, the edges are just beginning to set, a thin-glazed crust (like a brownie) has formed on the surface, and an instant-read thermometer inserted halfway into the center reads 140° F, 22-25 minutes. Remove the springform pan from the water bath and set on a wire rack; cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cool. (The cake can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.) 5 About 30 minutes prior to serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, invert the cake onto a sheet of waxed paper, peel off the parchment paper, and reinvert the cake onto a serving platter. If desired, lightly dust the cake with powdered sugar and top with berries. To slice, use a sharp, thin-bladed knife, dipping the knife into a pitcher of hot water and wiping the blade before each cut.

You can store your finished fudge bites in the fridge or freezer. As you may guess, storing them in the fridge makes them a little softer, and the freezer makes them slightly firmer. They never freeze solid, which is a scientific mystery to me. They WILL melt if left out on the countertop, so don’t do it! :) The chocolate chips are key to the quality of the fudge, so I recommend not skimping on the brand. I like Ghirardelli or Guittard (if not vegan), or Enjoy Life (if vegan).

Whip the heavy cream until stiff. Fold about 1/3 of the whipped cream into the caramel mixture. Add the caramel mixture back to the remainder of the whipped cream and fold gently until fully combined. Chill for a few minutes. The cream, not you. 2 Meanwhile, soak the pancakes in the coffee for about 2 minutes. Since they aren’t very porous it takes a little time for them to absorb the coffee – you can soak them longer if you want a stronger coffee flavor. 3 Add the cream to a pastry bag with a large star tube attached. Have four small plates ready. Place a coffee square on the plate. Pipe a layer of cream on it. Dust with cocoa powder. Repeat until you have three layers. Repeat with the rest of the plates. Serve with optional sugar free chocolate sauce. 4 You don’t have to make this pretty, you could layer the coffee soaked pancakes with spoonfuls of cream into an 8×8 pan and then chill it and cut it into squares (or just stand at the fridge and eat it with a giant spoon at 2am when nobody is watching.)

Spread with peanut butter. 2 Top with the other half of banana slices and freeze for about one hour. 3 In the meantime, cut chocolate in pieces and put 2/3 of it in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on medium power for 30 seconds, stir, then repeat in 15 seconds interval until the chocolate has melted. (If you prefer to melt chocolate on the stove top, place a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan filled with simmering water. On low heat, stir chocolate until melted (allow a few minutes). Ensure the chocolate avoids contact with water and steam whilst melting). Add 1/3 remaining chocolate and keep stirring until it is fully melted. It’s called tempering chocolate. It will allow the chocolate to have a glossy texture and to set correctly. 4 Remove bites from the freezer and dip them into melted chocolate. You have to work quickly before the bites start to thaw and get mushy. If you want to take you time, you can work with one bite at a time and leave the others in the freezer. Using two forks, dip one bite in melted chocolate and roll it to cover all sides. Using one fork, remove bite from chocolate. With the other fork, remove excess chocolate and arrange the bite back on baking sheet. 5 Freeze at least 3 hours or until ready to serve. Keep them in the freezer.
