Fall’s the best. I remain broken-hearted that I was too busy to stop by the Portland Nursery for the Apple Tasting for the first time in years and years, so I’ve been consoling myself with autumn’s other BFF: pumpkin. I don’t take a knife to its face anymore, but I will scoop out the insides [...]

S’mores Pie with Roasted Dandies
In a shocking turn of events, this pie is not from the upcoming Vegan Pie in the Sky cookbook. I repeat, this is not an official, Post Punk Kitchen endorsed pie. This creation was inspired by the recent Portland VegFest, Chicago Soy Dairy’s sweet deal on those sweet little ‘mallows, Julie Hasson’s cream pie demo and [...]
Salt Spring Inspired Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup
Break out your rain boots, adorn your favorite hoodie and repeat after me: it’s officially soup weather. It seems like only yesterday, but I earned some real Pacific Northwest points with a British Columbian adventure back in May. It was my first ever visit to Canada, at all, and I’m truly an idiot for waiting so [...]
strawberry balsamic pie
This is admittedly, one of my more rushed, rustic crust jobs that I’ve been rolling out with brown rice flour. Simply because….the bag is sitting on top of my fridge, locally milled and purchased from the farmers market, duh. More importantly, it served as a party pie for a dear friend’s birthday last weekend. This [...]
and the pie goes on
Non-stop pie making continues with 2 more from the PPK test kitchen: Cashew Creme Apple Crumb and Pumpkin Cheesecake. Back to the land of Vida Vegan Con and Vegan Iron Chef planning for me! Rolling out pie crusts is way therapeutic.
the dawning of the pie
So, I currently have a few friends who are into no-sugar cleanses. Personally, I think it’s a sensible idea, but it’s become a little too trendy for my tastes and I’ve been busy stockpiling my organic, evaporated cane juice for an important reason: recipe testing for the newest in-progress Post Punk Kitchen cookbook has begun! [...]
berry picking, subsequently followed by strawberry chocolate swirl cream pie
Blueberry Fields Forever, Sauvie Island I had my first taste of berry picking fulfillment this past weekend with a few friends. As usual, it was a berry stained dress of a blast. Getting to farms and carrying home pounds of berries is problematic without a car (or ambition to drive), so I am thrilled when [...]
Petunia’s Pastries, be still my heart-shaped vegan heart
Mini Marionberry Pies $5.95/each Last year, I was introduced to Petunia’s Pastries during their premiere Last Thursday on NE Alberta via my friend Michelle Crocodile. I sampled one of their very few vegan offerings at the time, a beautiful Chocolate Hazelnut cupcake. This was before I was aware of my stupid new hazelnut allergy, and [...]
Apple Butterscotch Pie, Diners & American Vegan Kitchen
apple pie, meet the no longer so elusive vegan butterscotch chips. thanks to Tamasin, you’re going to be great friends. I had a hard time deciding what to make first from Tamisan Noyes’ diner-themed American Vegan Kitchen cookbook. Rather, I had a hard time getting her amazing-sounding Battered Avocado Wedges out of my head, and [...]
Candy Cane Layer Cake Construction
Frankly, I’ve made prettier cakes, but I think this one is the awesomest. Toot toot! It had been too long since I’d made a complete layer cake. I was out of practice, but having a blast with every step involved, surely on a high from inhaling peppermint candy dust. There’s nothing like a homemade cake, [...]
