Vegan Chocolate Frosted Brownies

August 30, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Is there anything more satisfying than an indulgent chocolate brownie? How about when you know that said brownie is free of refined sugar, gluten, wheat, grains, dairy, eggs, soya and preservatives? Sound good? How about if I tell you that they are SUPER easy to make? Sold? Great! Get baking! Surprising though it may sound,…

Chocolate Truffle Hearts

June 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

There is nothing inside these chocolates that makes them ‘truffles’ necessarily, it’s just that the mixture is so decadent that when it sets thickly – as it does in the heart-shapes moulds I have because they’re so deep – it honestly tastes and feels like Belgian chocolate truffles melting into your mouth, and yet totally…

Cacao & Cashew Oaty Bites

November 23, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I may even go as far as to say that these are the tastiest things I’ve ever made… I have to be honest, I wasn’t sure if it would even work but oh dear lord they do! So simple; literally took 5 minutes, 1 spoon, 1 saucepan and a cup, and to make it even…

Orange, Cardamom & Fig Cake

June 27, 2016 by theorganicspoon 5 Comments

  I have been making a gluten / dairy / refined sugar-free chocolate orange cake for years and it’s a favourite of my husband and his family. It’s the dessert they request from me most often. I’ve recently discovered my love for cardamom in cakes and I thought, what tastes go better together than orange and…

Mushroom & Spinach Frittata

May 12, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Another easy dinner choice, a variation on my last frittata. You can pretty much add anything you want to it – whatever is in the fridge and needs to be used. It’s one of those ‘Thursday night meals’! Ingredients 6 organic free-range eggs 1 tsp English mustard 2 potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly Half a…

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 26, 2016 by theorganicspoon 3 Comments

These need very little introduction! They are by far the best cookies I’ve ever made and I honestly just threw the ingredients together as I was in such a rush so it was hard for me to remember the exact measurements! They are egg, soya, gluten, dairy and sugar free (depending on what chocolate chips…

Savoury Granola

March 18, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’ve got to thank my friend Lana for the inspiration on this one, she inspired me to make it. Savoury granola is fast becoming a popular choice of breakfast food in Israel so I thought I’d try it and I really enjoyed it. It almost tastes like popcorn, just much healthier – and you can…

Nutty Brownies with White Chocolate Topping

February 29, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I needed something indulgent for my birthday this week and what is more indulgent than a chocolate brownie with a white chocolate topping? I had never actually used raw cacao butter as a topping and I didn’t know how it would solidify on top of a brownie but I gave it a go and was…

Rosh Hashana Honey Cake – The Healthier Alternative

September 11, 2015 by theorganicspoon 2 Comments

As Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) approaches, I always like to bake a few honey cakes, the cake of choice for Rosh Hashana. We use honey because it signifies a ‘sweet’ new year. We also have a prayer before the meal where we dip apple slices in honey, so honey is in abundance for us…

Cauliflower Pizza Base

August 31, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

We already have a couple of pizza base recipes on the blog, but I came up with a new one recently and it’s definitely my favourite. I use a combination of cauliflower and zucchini with psyllium husks so it is gluten- and grain-free. The mixture comes out a very vivid lime green, which is fun…
