Supper Club Sinless Dessert

 

Supper Club…It was my turn on dessert and I decided to try out a

RICH CHOCOLATE AND BEETROOT TORTE courtesy of Susan Jane White aka The Virtuous Tart

Ingredients

2 cups pitted dates

125g good cocoa powder

1 cup pureed beetroot (about 4 baby beets from vacuum pack without vinegar)

3 tbsp tamari soy sauce

4 medium eggs

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp baking powder

Coconut yogurt and crushed pistachio nuts to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 170 C /335 F, Gas 3½

Boil the pitted dates in a small saucepan with about 1 inch water for 10 to 15 minutes. Puree in a blender. You only need one cup for the recipe; the remainder can be used to sweeten natural yogurt.

Mix the cocoa powder, the pureed beetroot and the tamari soy sauce with the date paste until smooth. Blend in the eggs, the olive oil, the vanilla extract and the baking powder until everything is well mixed.

Immediately pour the batter into a well-greased circular cake tin/springform type. Speed is of the essence as the baking powder has been activated. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. The cake is closer to a ganache torte and should be moist and rich. Allow to cool before removing from the tin. To serve, sprinkle the coconut yogurt and scatter the pistachio nuts over the torte.IMG_4311

I can unreservedly recommend this torte. It was relatively easy to make and tasted absolutely delicious and it is so good for you. If beetroot isn’t a superfood, it should be! Also I had great fun getting my supper club to guess the ingredients. This recipe is from her first book “The Extra Virgin Kitchen” and her latest offering “The Virtuous Tart” recently won the best cookbook in Ireland at the book awards. I know what’s on my Christmas wish list.

    bring up a lot of good points, but I have a question (rather unrelated to the debate).How do you define/What do your consider as ‘Modern’? Cause, I believe what you really mean is post-modern. I say this because for a long time now, I have viewed the general progress of Western Man since the inception of the Industrial Revolution as “Modern’. Nowadays, I associate the decline of Western Man, as a direct result from Jewish influence, as post-modern. Essentially, the more control and influence the Jews and their collaborators exert over White society, the less modern it becomes.

    C’est certain que le vécu diminue pas en passant la vingtaine. Mais je crois que c’est différent d’une personne à l’autre. Quelques uns sont de plus en plus débordés par leur problèmes en viellissant et d’autre les gèrent de mieux en mieux. Quelqu’un qui gère bien tout les petits problèmes ne sera surement pas lourd pour son partenaire même en étant enseveli de problèmes.

    I agree with Catsmum – some yarns just need the simplest of patterns. The yarn is gorgeous and the hat looks lovely on you. I was in Katoomba last Saturday and that would have been very welcome! I’m told it was 8*C!

And I am lounging around in a hoodie  @primark and @carraig_donn comfy trousers. Psst! They have a slightly elasticated waist. I always swore I would never wear trousers without a structured waistband!
And yet here I am. But they are comfy and stylish and I love the stripes down the sides. Check out my blog and my friends  @is_this_mutton_  @annasislandstyle  @mummabstylish  and @thestylesplash.
And recommend some nice loungewear sets please. I need to up my game!

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

From the archives. Remember when we tried on dress From the archives. Remember when we tried on dresses etc in changing rooms? And browsed in shops?
This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
