‘Hitch Codes’ editorial by V Carre, via Pinterest Hi everyone. Long time no see! Goddamn. So… what’s up with the hiatus? The last several months have been a roller coaster but I am back on track and back to Kitchen Rebellion. Skip the next paragraph if you kinda don’t care and just want to see…

Decadent Chocolate Creme (Or: A Surprisingly Delicious Way to Eat Avocados)
Avocado as dessert? Uhh… what?! That was my initial reaction when I learned of the whole foods trick of giving chocolate sweet treats an avocado base; no way was that culinary train wreck going to taste fantastic. A couple of months went by, and I moved into might-be-crazy-enough-to-work territory. And if there is one…
Rustic Boysenberry Lemon Cheesecake (Vegan and Gluten Free!)
Summer is on its way in my part of the world, and the warmer weather has me craving chilled treats. One of the beautiful, fresh, sunny days we have had recently inspired me to make my first cheesecake of the season. Mmmm… cheesecake season. Come time for dessert, I tend to err on the…
Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am Banana Cake
For the last six months I have had my head down studying Patternmaking at Fashion Tech. Today we graduated! This is the course that I had to leave, because of my health foibles, four years ago, so it has been a poignant day. I am proud of myself and excited for the present and…

Food photography by Lissa Davidson; header image via Pinterest Do pecans make everything better? My vote is YES! I made this recipe when I had a craving for pancakes with a little somethin’ extra and it has become my go to recipe. Refrigerating the batter for 20 minutes might test your patience, but it…
Apricot & Berry Vegan Mini Crumbles
Image via Pinterest Last night after dinner I was craving something sweet, but was in one of those moods where spending a lot of time making dessert happen was not at all on the cards. My solution? An easy, old school fruit crumble. The only hard part about this whole gig, is leaving the…
Lemon Lime Pancakes with Berry Sauce and Coconut-Cashew Cream
Art by Paul X. Johnson, via Supersonic Electronic Strange times in our neck of the woods lately. I was on holiday in New Plymouth when the 6.3 earthquake gave Wellington a big shake last week – thankfully we arrived home to a house that was just as we left it. No cracks in the…
Berrylicious Vegan Mini-Cheesecakes
Image via I Fucking Wish This recipe is modified from Buddha Belly Bites’ epic Raw Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake. I have been meaning to make a cashew-based vegan cheesecake for a while now and let me tell you, I can’t believe it took so long. These things are damn incredible. Beware, you might end up…
Sweet & Simple Vegan Raspberry Muffins
Art by Brian Ewing via Ant Baena I love how easy these muffins are to throw together; I made a batch while prepping a quick sauce for tonight’s dinner (tofu-chili enchiladas – damn good, and resting happily in my belly as I type). Raspberries are definitely my go-to berry, but you might want to…
Chocolate-Pecan Brownie Loaf
Kielo S/S13 via VFiles This recipe is a kind of Frankenstein creation, part loaf, part brownie. I can’t decide whether it is a brownie-style loaf or a loaf-style brownie. Either way, it tastes damn good! Chocolately, chewy, moist and delicious, it is perfect with a cup of Earl Grey, or underneath a big dollop…
