Ultimate Sticky Toffee Pudding

Ultimate Sticky Toffee Pudding Sometimes the idea for a recipe just comes to me and then other times it is a matter of honing and polishing an old recipe of mine to see if I can improve it. Of course practicing a dish again and again has a down side unless you go to the gym 3-4 days a weeks, as we do! My starting point was my old recipe that was published in my newspaper column some years ago. I…

🇵🇸 From Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA):

This Ramadan make sure you’re not breaking your fast with the taste of apartheid. All you need to do is check the label to avoid buying dates from apartheid Israel. This includes dates labelled from Israel, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley or if the country of origin is not shown. Ramadan is a time of reflection and self-improvement. During this month we are more conscious of our actions and how they affect others. Israel is the world’s largest producer of Medjoul dates. Let's be conscious of not buying dates that support Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and apartheid regime. * Major UK supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco, Iceland and Waitrose all sell dates from apartheid Israel as well as local grocery stores * The UK is the second-biggest importer of Israeli dates in Europe 50% of Israeli dates are exported to Europe, where the UK, Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy import huge quantities of the dried fruit. In 2020 the UK imported over 3000 tonnes of dates from Israel, worth roughly 7.5 million pounds. There are two peaks of date consumption in Europe. One is during the month of Ramadan and the other is during New Year’s Eve and Christmas. Boycotting Israeli dates in Ramadan is a concerted community effort that can show we are not powerless. It would be brilliant to see all Israeli dates still left on shelves across the UK and Europe at the end of the blessed month. This would reflect our strength as a community to stand together with a very important message: We will not support the oppression of Palestinians and we will not be complicit in Israeli apartheid. So, this Ramadan #CheckTheLabel and boycott Israeli dates.

With Ramadan approaching, please consider sharing!

If you're in the UK, they also have leaflets available for order on their webpage. These tie into their upcoming campaign #CheckTheLabel, with a national day of action on the 16th of February.

Again, check their webpage for more info.

The way stores get caught lying all the fucking time about fruits and vegetables…

Carrefour says that the dates come from Algeria. Except Algeria doesn’t produce Medjoul dates (we make Deglet Noor) so it is impossible that these dates come from Algeria. You know who export Medjoul dates to France? Morocco and “Israel”. Mainly “Israel”. So once again a French store is caught lying to avoid the boycott and to support the occupation of Palestine and the genocide of Palestinians without consequences.

(Reminder that Carrefour is a target of BDS so we’re boycotting regardless of their lies)

Again caught lying. This time it’s Auchan. The poster with the price says the avocados come from Portugal except the box says “Israel”.

In the video this time in Lidl you can see that the store says the avocados are from Columbia. Except at the person show it on the video the tag says “Origin: Israel”

Regarding avocados especially they lie all the fucking time. I actually stopped buying them because of the constant lies and because even in other countries it’s often produced at the expense of the local population using too much water to satisfy the needs of the West.

Either way I would suggest being super careful look at the box and tags not just what the store tells you. And if you live in France know that this is illegal and you can report all those instances to the DGCCRF (here). If you live elsewhere I suggest looking for the legislation and reporting those lies if you can.

Edit: if you know your local/national agency to report these kind of stuff don’t hesitate to share the link you can even send the agency name (not a link I’m not opening random anon links) in anon if you’re more comfortable and I’ll add it to the post.

The pumpkin cake & the dates cream cheese frosting

Έχει περάσει καιρός που έχω να «ανεβάσω» συνταγή. Δεν είναι πως δεν μαγειρεύω…. Παραμαγειρευω θα έλεγα, και έχω φτιάξει πολλες και νόστιμες συνταγές τον τελευταίο χρόνο. Απλά- εκτός απο πολύ δουλειά- με είχε (έχει;) πιάσει μια αρνηση με τα social media και μια ανάγκη απομάκρυνσης απο αυτά, όποτε πήρε η μπάλα και το blog μου! Επίσης βαριόμουν χαχ��!

Αυτή τη συνταγή όμως δεν γινόταν να μην τη γράψω. Ήταν και πολύ εύκολη και νόστιμη, και dairy free (αν παραλήψεις το frosting) και gluten free και sugar free! Δοκιμάστε την αυτό το μήνα που με το Halloween ίσως σας περισσέψουν κολοκύθες και δεν θέλετε να τις πετάξετε, και θα με θυμηθείτε. Ειδικά το frosting, είναι beyond this world!

Για το κέικ:

• 250 γρ αλεύρι αμυγδάλου

• 200 γρ κολοκυθιά βρασμένη (σε μορφή πουρέ)

• 120 γρ μελασα Emelia

• 3 αυγα

• 1 κγ βανίλια

• 1 κ σ κανέλα

• 1/2 κγ Nutmeg

• 70ml coconut oil

• 1 τσιμπιά αλάτι

• 100 γρ άμυλο καλαμποκιού (corn flour)

Για το frosting:

• 9 χουρμάδες medjoul χωρίς το κουκούτσι

• 150 ml ζεστό νερό

• 120 γρ cream cheese χωρίς καραγενανη

• 2 κ σ ghee

• 1 τσιμπιά αλάτι

• 1 κγ βανίλια

Για το κέικ: κοιταχτε. Θεωρητικά ρίχνεις πρώτα τα υγρά στο μίξερ και μετά αφού ανακατευτούν ρίχνεις και τα στερεά. Αλλά δεν θα σας πω ψέματα. ΒΙΑΖΟΜΑΙ. Έχω να πάω σε παιδικό παρτυ σε 40 λεπτά! Άσε μας κουκλίτσα μου (στον εαυτό μου) τώρα με τα στερεά και τα υγρά, ριχτά τώρα ολα εκεί μέσα μια χαρα θα βγει. Και βγήκε ! Τα ρίχνουμε λοιπόν ολα μέσα στο μίξερ, αλλά αν θέλετε να είστε καλά παιδιά εσείς ρίχτε τα με το σωστό τρόπο , θα βγει όντως ένα τσακ καλύτερο. Και αφού ανακατέψετε, τα βάζετε σε φόρμα του κέικ και ψήνετε για 35’ στους 175. Η κορη μου είπε πως η ζύμη πριν ψηθεί μοιάζει με εμετός σκύλου. Οκ παραληψτε αυτό το σχόλιο, απλά σας το αναφέρω πως αν σας θυμίσει και εσάς αυτή την όμορφη εικόνα, μην πτοηθείτε! Πριν το βγάλετε απο τη φόρμα , βάλτε ένα μαχαίρι στη μέση του κέικ και βεβαιωθείτε πως βγαίνει «στεγνό». Αφού κρυώσει, το ανάποδο γυρίζουμε προσεκτικά στην πιατέλα που θελουμε να το βάλουμε

Για το frosting: μουλιάζετε του χουρμάδες στο ζεστό νερό για 10-15’. Έπειτα του βάζετε στο μουλτι ή το μπλέντερ να γίνουν σαν πουρές . Αφού γίνουν πουρές οι χουρμάδες, προσθέτετε το cream cheese και το ghee και τα υπόλοιπα υλικά και ανακατεύετε αρκετά μέχρι να γίνουν όλα «ένα». Το απλώνετε στο κέικ, αφού έχει κρυώσει το κέικ.

tip 1: μπορειτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε και άλλο γλυκαντικό στο κέικ αν θέλετε (πχ μέλι ή maple syrup), αλλά θεωρώ πως η μελάσα ταιριάζει πιο πολυ απ όλα

tip 2: αντί για ghee μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε κανονικό βούτυρο, αν δεν έχετε, αλλά η γνώμη μου είναι πως του δίνει «κάτι» το ghee. Απογειώνει τη γεύση του frosting.

tip 3: αν δεν χρησιμοποιήσετε αμέσως το frosting, μπορειτε να το φυλάξετε στο ψυγείο (όπως και το υπόλοιπο γενικά που θα περισσέψει - αν περισσέψει- το κρατάτε στο ψυγείο για 5 ημέρες. Και απλά το βγάζετε 10’ πριν το απλώσετε στο κέικ να μαλακώσει.

tip 4: διατηρείται στο ψυγείο όλο μαζί όπως είναι.
