Gluten-Free Pie Crust from Gone Pie Vegan Bakery

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:00:58 -0500

Gone Pie Vegan Bakery was kind enough to submit this Gluten-Free Pie Crust.

This year we went with a new pie crust for our gluten-free holiday pies. It is adapted from the wheat-free crust we have been making for years. I think it actually held together better and was an all around better crust than its inspiration. It is not a crust without issues. Using both tree nuts and gluten-free oats, it is not for everyone!

Here is the recipe. It makes enough crust for one 10 inch tart crust or three 7 inch crusts.

Drunken Mushroom and Barley Soup

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:03:44 -0400

When the weather starts to cool and gets a little drizzly (as Seattle is known to do) I start craving warm and hardy soups. Thick, earthy and when you get up from the table, you don’t even care that it’s already dark.

Most of the vegan barley soups I’ve found seem to be too brothy and not enough of a bold flavor for me. My family is newly vegan so we still need that “meaty” flavor. So what do I do when I need a bolder flavor? I booze it up. Yep. That’s the bam around my house. “Booze it up!” I know, what a wonderful role model I am! I also like to add kale. Mostly for color but also because it is super nutritious and I am always trying to toss it into my dishes.

Food Photography Tips

Use these food photography tips to make your treats really pop out:

It's important to use as much natural light as possible when taking pictures of food. Those compact flourescents you just installed in your kitchen are great energy savers but they'll make your recipes look slightly stale and less vibrant. Taking the finished treat outside is sometimes a great way to get it bathed in natural light.

Try not to use a flash. Leave flash photography for those intensely choreographed shots whe your aunt Myrtle visits.

Use Macro Mode on your camera. That's usually the little flower icon. Macro Mode is great for close-up shots when you really want to get intense detail.

Try to have a plain background if possible. Plain white backgrounds will give your recipe maximum pop-out-ability. Your dishes in the sink in the distance will not.

Take a several pictures from different angles with different lighting, different backgrounds and take the best one from the lot. Usually the first picture is not the best one.
