olive oil cake.








BEAUTIES!

i had all these great ideas of blood oranges and cara caras
sliced thin for the top but when it came down to it....
the kids wanted 'just cake, no topping'
it's so spongey and dense and fluffy and moist
you are going to love it!

i saw this cake on food 52
they call it genius
now i see why
it's what i love to bake
there is the wet
then the dry
put them together
throw them in the pan
put it in the oven
easy peasy
& in one hour
you have cake!

this one is gluten free! 
i used the raw dairy from the
market for the milk.. but i am sure you 
could substitute almond, rice or whatever you fancy!

inspired by food 52

there was a lot of applause, applause, applause
for this one on thanksgiving
so i am giving the readers what they want
(i hope)
this is a great one to bring
to the holiday shmoliday gathering

salty honey pie
(inspired by lottie & doof)

GATHER
1 single pie crust
1 stick/1/4 lb unsalted butter
3/4(or less)of cane sugar
1 tbs cornmeal
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp vanilla
(or vanilla paste)
3/4 cup honey
3 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tsp white vinegar
1-2 tsp maldon sea salt
(for finishing)

FIRE
preheat oven to 375
in a medium bowl, mix butter,
sugar, cornmeal, salt & vanilla
stir in honey & eggs
one at a time
followed by cream & vinegar

they want you to strain this... 
i did not and i am proud of it. 
straining big amounts of sweet
sticky stuff is not my thing...

i gracefully poured
it all in the pie shell
that i did give a little
melted butter painting to..

then i put it in the oven
on a cookie sheet for any drips & drops
in the middle rack 45 - 50 minutes
turning it around once at the half mark
look for edges to be puffed up high, edges set
and no more liquid in the center
that means she's cooked!

COOL
let cool and then sprinkle maldon
salt all over it like below

serves 8 - 10
it's so sweet that
it could possibly
serve more
enjoy beauties
xxxx
this is what it looks like
what a beauty!

beauty love fest sessions.


:::::::BEAUTIES::::::

i am being swept up inside the holiday vacuum of hurry hurry hurry land with the deepest desire to take a few minutes every two to three hours to stop. stop the doing, breathe in, even if it's crazy time & fill in the blank __________ read a poem, rest, spoon some goat cheese on a carrot, close my eyes, stretch my hips, drink a glass of water, make a tea & of course turn on the oven, throw something in it with olive oil and salt. i feel terribly guilty that i was not on the black friday, small business saturday, cyber monday, fuschia tuesday, abundance wednesday train. my staff is in paris and it's just me in the office these days. 

 yes, i do have something to offer.

 recently, i am discovering the sweetest gift in my work. in my travels, kitchen to kitchen, finding the flow between nourishing ourselves & the lives we lead, reconnecting to the love inside our child's handmade trivet or grandmother's chipped tea cup; i am realizing that the healing is all inside the cooking. the healing is inside turning on the fire, it's inside yellow & white carrots, watermelon radishes, oro blanco grapefruits, the healing is inside warming olive oil, pink salt, whole, unpeeled garlic, it's (even) inside boiling water.

 we do not need to stop everything and then cook. we need to cook it out. when we cook together, we heal together. duh. (and we can figure out what peeler you need & move around your silverware drawer while roasting a chicken).

 you shop, we cook. 
or we shop, we cook. 
we reconnect
we heal
we nourish
we feel AMAZING.
repeat.

 i think we will call it a beauty love fest.
what do you think?
