Often (okay, sometimes) I use the freedom of my Sunday to bake… bake cookies that is. Because I love cookies. And cookies love me. <\/p>\n

But I have been flat out these past few weeks and have not had a chance to try Momo’s recipes<\/a> that have been in the kitchen <\/a> this last month. But today was the day and I can’t wait to show and tell…<\/p>\n

choc-banana.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting with this one, Momo’s choc and banana slice. Now I think I have explained before, habit of my occupation I cannot help but detour off the beginning recipe – Momo did call this a pudding but as you can see mine turned out more like a slice. And WHAT A SLICE it is! I asked French Boy who is un palais<\/em> (translation ‘to be a palate’, or to have a fine sense of taste) to taste test the result with me. Deliceux<\/em> was the answer. Et je suis d’accord.<\/em> As I’ve now discovered with Momo’s recipes<\/a>, she allows the sweetness to speak through the fruit she uses and in this one, the banana and raisins add the sweetness necessary to bite through the cocoa. This is a perfect naughty afternoon treat that actually is not naughty at all, just take a look at the recipe <\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next up is this treasure I’ve been wanting to try ever since I saw Momo’s batch<\/a> come out of the oven and onto her blog<\/a>. This is how mine turned out…<\/p>\n

Yes they are so very different to hers! I didn’t actually follow the exact instructions and just went with the flow, creating a log with the fruity filling. <\/p>\n

When I scrolled through the quantities in Momo’s recipes<\/a> I thought they seemed tiny – I’m so used to seeing recipes with cups of flour and cups of sugar, and I was intrigued. When I made the dough for this it seemed so little but it is just absolutely perfect. Note there is no baking powder and hardly any sugar. Again, the fruit reveals all. I would suggest baking two ‘logs’ as these little pillow cookies will be eaten up quickly.<\/p>\n

I love that at the end of Momo’s recipes<\/a> she wrote this:<\/p>\n

This is a gentle vegan baking.
\nGentle to animals.
\nGentle to the earth and gentle to us too. <\/p>\n

And gentle is exactly how I would describe the process of cooking and enjoying these recipes. It was such a pleasure to cook these recipes too. I am not a vegan or vegetarian but absolutely adore the real and simple flavours within Momo’s<\/a> ingredient choices. Thank you so very very much for being my very first guest in the (blog)house kitchen<\/a>, it was such a beautiful birthday gift. <\/p>\n

In light of celebrating love, a new menu will be in the kitchen this week. So please make a copy of Momo’s recipes<\/a> if you haven’t already. If you would like to submit a menu of your own for the (blog)house kitchen<\/a>, please send me the recipes and some photos if possible, and also a story about what this menu means to you. Or if you just have one recipe then send that and I will endeavor to make a menu collaged from the submissions. And for those who haven’t yet tried my chocolate and cranberry cookies<\/a>, the recipe is over at A World In A Pan<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Happy Sunday mes chers amis<\/em>, see you tomorrow! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
