Cranberry, Orange Grain Free, Vegan Christmas Cake
Chef Hana created this delicious winter holiday season cake using instead of flour, cassava and chufa (a nut free starch commonly refer to as tiger nut.) If you haven’t experimented with them, they do behave differently than gluten-free flours and absorb quite a bit of liquid. The cake batter also looks different - more separated once mixed, hence the addition of some tapioca flour for extra binding. The sponge is also more crumbly than one made with gluten-free flours so H

Buche de Noel
The Yule Log was a tradition that originated in Scandinavia and northern Europe. Iron Age peoples would gather to feast the first day of winter and burn a massive log decorated with pine cones, holly, and ivy. Wine and salt were also used to anoint the Yule Logs. As Christianity took hold, and smaller hearths became the norm in Europe, making the smaller log shaped cakes became more prevalent than burning the massive logs as had been done in times past. The tradition of cr

Passionfruit Chocolate Entremet
Spring is just around the corner. What a better way to meet it than with a luscious entremet. The cake itself looks stunning and is such showstopper. Chef Hana adapted the recipe from her ever so popular Chocolate Raspberry Bavarois, but the bottom layer is a sponge cake rather than a raw base crust. The chocolate mousse layer is a simple combination of chocolate, oat cream and agar. And the passion fruit layer is a combination of fresh passion fruit, oat cream and agar. Ha

Creamy Orange Chocolate Tarts
Orange and Christmas ... the aroma coming from zesting an orange is a most beautiful scent. And Chef Hana loves to add orange zest to as many of her gluten free, vegan, nut free Christmas creations as possible. The tarts shell she made is a raw based nut-free dough made with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dates, cacao, cinnamon and orange zest. To make the ganache she used a vegan creme fraiche that gives them little more cheesecake flavour and together with the orange zes
