Pink galore!
August 23rd, 2007 @ 6:49Ok, so I’m off to work in a couple of minutes but first I really wanted to post this mosaic of what I’ve cooked lately.
It’s actually just two things. A strawberry mousse cupcake that Alex has been eyeing lately, he gets news from Peta2 and the vegcooking blog and this was one of their recipes of the week. He’s a sucker for pink sugary things so we agreed on making these together. Together, however, means that I do the baking and he does the eating. (I know her cupcakes are prettier, but don’t you dare get bitchy with me, this is my second cupcake frosting ever!)
The other thing I made lately was this pink beetroot pie. Alex claims beetroot pie is his favourite so I make it fairly regularly and it’s always soo good. This time one of my friends came by for dinner and we all enjoyed this pie with some salad on the side. The filling is just pickled beetroots cut in pieces, leek, red bell pepper, salt and pepper and some thyme. I mixed some tofu with some soymilk, cornstarch and nutritional yeast and then threw in some more beetroot and blended that with the rest to make it lovely and pink.
Yesterday we went out and bought 4 bags full of lovely produce so we can finally COOK again. The fridge has been very empty lately and I’ve been feeling uninspired but now I can’t even wait. I bought mangold /CHARD!(i’ve never tried it before) so if you have a favourite recipe, please share! I have no idea what to do with it.
1. Strawberry mousse cupcakes, 2. Beetroot love pie, 3. Love pie, 4. Strawberry mousse cupcakes, of love!
thank you for the cupcake recipe! the beetroot pie looks stunning too.
