One of the things I love about creating recipes is all the additions and changes that readers suggest. I feel equally happy about recipe testing and happy accidents. When a reader, Bhavna, told me about adding a cup of coffee to my blondies recipe, I immediately thought I need to try that! I only had …
Raw Berry Cheesecake
I find raw cheesecake one of the easiest cake styles to make. There’s no baking, just soaking of raw cashews and some processing of nuts and in this case, berries. You will need a food processor or high-speed blender to get a creamy consistency. After that, layer all the ingredients in a spring-form pan or pie …

But the blackberries are going strong. The 2012 Seattle eternal summer brought quite a bounty of blackberries. All along the streets in my neighborhood …
Chocolate Macaroons
What do you get when you bring cocoa (cacao), coconut, and almonds together? In this case, very decadent chocolate macaroons. And while I’m not a huge consumer of shredded coconut, I enjoy a few macaroons every now and then, including these lemon, vanilla, chocolate-coated macaroons. I’ve been playing around with coconut oil and cocoa butter …
