Orange pikelets/pancakes
Jun. 6th, 2011 12:54 pmhighlyeccentricThis recipe comes from the original Australian Women's Weekly cookbook. It's supposed to be a pikelet recipe, but IMHO the batter is too thin and it works better if you make big thin pancakes out of it. [Note - my idea of a 'pancake' is a thin batter in a wide circle that can be rolled. But not as thin as a crepe. A pikelet is closer to an American pancake or flapjack. Yes, I know, this is linguistic ridiculousness at its best.]

Croissants
Apr. 9th, 2011 10:33 pmshadowandflameI love these. They are a great choice for having people over for brunch or anything like that. :) They're best the first or second day (I haven't yet tried freezing them; usually I just take the leftovers to work and they disappear pretty fast).
They are extra delicious if you give them orange chocolate fillings (just wrap each croissant around a segment from a Terry's Chocolate Orange.)
You need to start the dough the night before, and you'll need to be around for three or four hours so you can roll it out periodically.

Trail Tofu
Apr. 4th, 2011 06:24 pmjesse_the_kTurns out I've been making this every other week all summer, and I've modified it with much better results. So if you think you'd like something that's not as sweet, keeps better, and not as salty, please visit my version 2.0 Trail Tofu at my journal.

My "trails" are urban not wilderness, but where ever you're going, this easy recipe makes a good portable food for traveling, where finding high-protein gluten-free can be tiresome. This recipe does include white & brown sugars (starred) but it's not baking. I'm not familiar with dry vegan sweeteners, but if they exist, they'd work.
There are three steps, with a lot of time in between:
Squeeze water out of tofu to make room for marinade: prep 0:10 wait 4:00 hr
Slice & Marinate: prep 0:10 wait overnight
Dehydrate: prep 0:10 cook 3:00 hrs

Focaccia bread with grapes and rosemary
Oct. 25th, 2010 08:06 pmsidI saw this recipe the other day, and while I'm not about to start baking, I did have red grapes and rosemary languishing in my refrigerator. So I bought some readymade focaccia.

On Brussels sprouts.
May. 15th, 2009 03:41 pmdistractionaryMy father taught me to make Brussels sprouts.
More accurately, my father made them – frequently – and then would tell me, and my slightly-older sister, that we wouldn't like them, that they were grown-up food, that there just weren't enough for us to have any – you can guess other, similar phrases, and you'd probably be right.
( More explanation, recipe, and picture under here. )
I hope that you enjoy!

Cinnamon Biscuits
May. 1st, 2009 01:17 ammatgbLoosely based on a recipe for Ginger Nuts from Delia (for USians, if you've not heard of her, she's Alton Brown in a twin set. Who runs a football team as a hobby. Also, they're a type of biscuit. Which is sort of like a cookie, but not. And yes, we get the 'nuts' joke).

Toasty Coconut Macaroons
Apr. 1st, 2009 10:24 pmhighlander_iiThis is the recipe for the macaroons I passed around IRC this afternoon:
(shamelessly swiped from Alton Brown over on FoodNetwork.com
( Toasty Coconut Macaroons )
Very simple to make. The hardest part, really, is toasting the coconut. Oh - and not eating all of them as they come out of the oven. *g*
