Vegan Gingerbread Tahini Cookies

December 22, 2018

I have been wanting to share this vegan gingerbread cookie recipe with you for the longest time, but I didn't have pictures! Ever since I shared this vegan tahini cookie recipe on the blog (which has quickly become my most viewed and most baked recipe on the blog!), I wanted to experiment with something similar for Christmas. This Vegan Gingerbread Tahini Cookie is pretty much based off the original cookie recipe with a touch of extra coco... Read More >>

Gluten Free Whole Orange Cake

October 19, 2018

There is a very thin line between a perfectly baked whole orange cake and a soggy citrus mess. And there are two very distinct sets of people on both sides of that line.

Gluten Free Lemon And Coconut Cake - Cook Republic

Gluten Free Almond Coconut Cake

August 30, 2018

A few years ago when I was doing food photography and styling workshops, a gluten free cake I adapted from Belinda Jeffery's Mix & Bake cookbook (one of my favourite baking cookbooks) was a staple at morning tea. A simple almond and coconut cake that I tweaked to be just sweet enough with a generous lashing of lemon. It was so wildly popular at all my workshops that I would get emails requesting the recipe. I always sent everyone a pho... Read More >>
