Easy Peasy Healthy Fruit Cake by The Blender Girl

I offer it to you as a perfect natural rescue remedy for any sugar cravings, or as a quick easy cake for those surprise guests who pop over for a cup of tea on a lazy Sunday afternoon. You could…

Gluten Free Date and Walnut Loaf - "Delicious Magazine"

Gluten Free Date and Walnut Loaf - "Delicious Magazine" by The Blender Girl

My friend Kris and I adapted this fantastic recipe from the November 2007 edition of Delicious Magazine in Australia. My all-time favourite recipe and food publication in the world. We added in a generous drop or two of rose water, which turns this already spectacular loaf into a sublime creation just begging to be devoured. Rose…

Gluten Free Klaicha - Date Filled Cookies

Gluten Free Klaicha - Date Filled Cookies by The Blender Girl

Klaichas are a national treat from Iraq. Traditionally, they press them into special moulds similar to tabis, but I just press them with the prongs of a fork. I have used Rapadura sugar to sweeten the dough, and using rice, tapioca and buckwheat flours to make these treats gluten free and more like shortbreads. You could also use some…

Non-Alcoholic Sangria Punch

Non-Alcoholic Sangria Punch by The Blender Girl

For a zesty Summer drink, you just can’t go past this non alcoholic Sangria, which never fails to refresh and satisfy. There are a ton of wonderful non alcoholic Sangria recipes out there that use a variety of fruits. A lot of recipes use pears and apples. But I really like the tartness of citrus fruits – any excuse to use lemon and…

Thai Vegan Coconut Ice Cream

Thai Vegan Coconut Ice Cream by The Blender Girl

This vegan coconut ice cream was inspired by my many trips to Thailand and is absolutely divine! One really important thing about making coconut ice cream – the base must be really well chilled before churning in the ice cream maker or the ice cream will be too soft and slushy. Try and chill it for a minimum of three or fours hours.…

Raw Green Pea and Almond Dip - " Kurma" by The Blender Girl

The second this dip hit my lips, it was love at first bite – I immediately became intoxicated with the unique zesty flavor and crunchy texture. This dip epitomizes the “blend and chow in under 5 minutes” philosophy that I am so fond of. It is dead easy, bursting with flavor, and incredibly versatile. Another added bonus is that the…

Cherry Velvet Limeade Mocktail by The Blender Girl

This simple little concoction can be whipped up in minutes, and is zesty and refreshing for the whole family. Serve it in martini glasses garnished with lime wedges, mint, and a squeeze of fresh ginger juice. It satisfies the “tart at heart” in me and I hope it will in you too. This recipe is really basic. Feel free to jazz it up. But…

Maple Pecan Smoothie

Maple Pecan Smoothie by The Blender Girl

This scrumptious vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free smoothie really does taste like a delectable “maple pecan pie in a glass”. Those of you with nut allergies – my profound apologies. There is just no nutty equivalent! In the spirit of replicating my perfect bite of pecan pie I only used 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to…
