Easter nests

March 29, 2013/ jo hodson

Easter time is nearly upon us...and I am some what un-prepared! Things have been very busy of late back home at Including Cake and also over here at the Real Food Source with the launch of the new chocolate bars. Exciting times!

o in the festive spirit and because it's the perfect time to enjoy this chocolate, a recipe for Easter nests seemed to be me the obvious answer!

Chocolate covered coconut balls

March 08, 2013/ jo hodson

Real Food Source have been busy behind the scenes to bring you the first new product... a fully organic, fully 'free from' chocolate created from just two simple ingredients: cocoa solids and sugar. I can barely believe the simplicity myself, and the taste? ...simply 'melt in your mouth' goodness. Knowing that it's actually good for me too does bring an extra large smile to my face.

Buckwheat granola clusters

February 27, 2013/ jo hodson

If you’ve popped over to my blog Including Cake  then you may have some idea that I am a little obsessed with all things ‘oats’ and that includes granola…I could eat it all day long! I also love an opportunity for a little experimentation and have recently been playing around with buckwheat as a gluten free cereal alternative to oats since oats can cause sensitivities to some due to gluten cross contamination.Read More

Chocolate coconut crackles

February 18, 2013/ jo hodson

I've had to be particularly creative in the kitchen his last week since I gave myself the challenge of a sugar-free lent! These little gems are sweetened only with natural fruits and a touch of stevia, though you may wish to add another form of sweetener such as agave if the dark chocolate coating is too bitter for your taste.

Almond flour fruit blinis

February 16, 2013/ jo hodson

Pancakes for breakfast...yes please!

I've been wanting to try an almond version ever since I had success with these buckwheat blinis, and since they were such fun as breakfast kebabs I enjoyed the opportunity to try another version, this time as an afternoon treat.

Almond Butter

February 03, 2013/ jo hodson

Here at the RealFoodSource we sell almond paste which is 100% organic ground blanched almonds and is such an excellent ingredient for easy gluten free baking, smoothies and sauces (do check out our free recipe ebook here for lots more ideas). Sometimes though it can be great to make your own homemade nut butters with additional ingredients added to the nuts to compliment the nut flavours and this recipe for almond butter is so delicious we just had to share!

Teff and almond flour pizza

January 15, 2013/ jo hodson

I love pizza! My vegan pizzas have no cheese but still pack in the taste! I make sure I spread an extra thick flavoursome topping on before piling up with veggies and baking. Of corse you could add cheese…if you think you need it!Read More

Almond cranberry pudding

December 07, 2012/ jo hodson

Almond flour, a little like coconut flour, can be tricky to handle at first. Whilst coconut flour has a tendency to be very drying, almond flour has a way of 'sticking to the roof of your mouth' does that sound odd? I wasn't sure how else to describe it. However, when used in the right way and combined with complimentary ingredients these wholefood, gluten free flours can make a totally unique and delicious dish. It is well worth the perseverance!
