Pertelote ~ superior wholesomeness. A cat in the kitchen. Essjayeats. A vegan cheesecake that will wow non-vegans. I don’t make claims like that without knowing for certain they are the truth.
I searched high and low for the perfect cheesecake recipe. But in the end, I went with my gut (and my taste buds). You see the cheesecake had to be better than good, it had to be “the best.” Why? Because it was specially requested by my coworkers who were dying to try some of my vegan baking. As you can imagine, the hype surrounding my goodies made me slightly nervous. The BakeryBits Blog.

I've had a few close calls with a gluten free lifestyle. As an infant, I was misdiagnosed with coeliac disease. Luckily, before I wrongly spent a lifetime avoiding wheat, my well-meaning Dad snuck me (then five years old) a doughnut on a day-out. I had no reaction, and so he had to wrestle with the decision of whether or not to tell my mum! Years later, we narrowed The Husband's horrific bouts of IBS down to his higher-than-normal consumption of bread. We've been living a gluten fuelled existence ever since.
I woke up early, and started mixing together the doughs for the two breads I would be trying, Gluten Free Brown Tinned Loaf, and Buckwheat Soda Bread: It didn't take long to notice the difference between normal wheat flour and gluten free flour.

It didn’t take long for a bike load of Brussel sprouts to become a tasty companion to our freshly butchered pork. Foodboog. Modern Meat. So, sorry it’s been a while (not that you’re really bothered).
Anyway, I’m back and this time I’m not just talking about meat, I’m cooking it too! A couple of weeks ago, it was my friend and housemate Jock’s birthday. Jock is a meat man to the core. When he’s not up in Scotland shooting stags, gralloching them on the heath and eating their hearts for breakfast (little bit of flour, lots of butter, salt and pepper – so so good), he’s shooting wild boar in France and slow roasting his spoils.
Ok, so it’s actually his mum that does most of the amazing cooking, but someone’s got to shoot it first right?! To celebrate his birthday, Jock invited about thirty friends to his home in the Essex countryside for a medieval themed evening and lunch the next day. Sounds like a lot of effort right? Casein point. Why does eating cheese make us feel happy and wanting more?
