The truffle strategy

Thu, 05/29/2014 - 12:59 — Eve

We have a new cook joining our email circle----Laurie S. of Lake Oswego (here in the Portland area). She got interested after tasting the prune truffles I brought to a gathering recently. Just think how our project would grow if we could entice people with prune truffles everywhere...hmmm... Welcome, Laurie!

In case you may have missed or forgotten about prune truffles, here is the recipe, which I see has had 489 "reads" since I posted it last May----so its goodness has been discovered. Let me know if the truffle strategy works on your friends : Prune Truffles

This week's new recipe is a hearty, whole-grain bread that happens to be gluten-free, so everybody who likes bread will be able to enjoy it. I am fortunate to have a VitaMix that grinds grain so I can make my own as needed (teff flour, millet flour, oat flour, etc.) If you don't have such a machine you can buy these things from Bob's Red Mill, and if you are in the Portland area you can be thrifty and buy them in bulk at Bob's Store.

Christel in Germany sent us a link to a project run by a very healthy guy----Brendan Brazier, a tri-athlete and ultramarathoner---who is now dedicated to helping people maximize health and fitness with a plant based diet. Thanks, Christel!

Great, great guidance from Brendan Brazier to a plant-based-living (recipes, health tips etc.).
And it's for free.

Looking forward to our Spring Potluck in Portland next Sunday. These gatherings are such a great source of new energy and new recipes. I'm sure to have something new for you next time!

Happy cooking,
Eve

As promised, I made the prune truffles for a gathering at our condo, and they were a hit. It was fun to have people guessing what was in them. I did make one change in the recipe--toasting the coconut before rolling the prunes, and I thought it was tasty. I've never had the raw coconut version, though. Because I'm a sweet tooth and a chocolate lover, next time I think I'd increase the cocoa measure to 1/3 cup and the maple syrup to 1.5 tablespoons. Excellent recipe and easy!
