My latest cook up with donna hay and Irina saw me using the Spices Cinnamon and Star Anise
Green Apples
and the last of the Season's Mandarins
All from this beautiful issue of donna hay magazine No 69 Jun/July 2013
Beautiful in that there are some lovely Flourless Cakes recipes in it.......Perfect for Gluten Free people
The menu......Mandarin and Soy Braised Ribs
Boiled Rice
Red Cabbage
Fennel
Telegraph Cucumber with Fennel Tips
Spiced Layered Apple Cake
I started off by slicing the apples in my new super-duper Food Processor
Look how beautiful the apple slices look......seeds'n all!!!
I used Rapadura Sugar instead of White Sugar
The apples had to be held down by cans when finished cooking
donna's version above
and my version ready to be chilled for Dessert
Now it's back to work preparing the Ribs
All done now
Red Cabbage
and Cucumber
And here'tis......all ready
And the flavour combinations were just delicious!!!
The Layered Apple Cake was just sublime nice and cold
With or without some Whipped Cream!!!
I love doing these cook ups especially now that Irina has joined me

Great pictures!!!!!
They all look so yummie...
Have to take a trip to the kitchen, rightaway.....
Enjoy!
Love, Ria.
Oh Dzintra....two of my favorite people on the planet cooking up what looks like HEAVEN ON EARTH..you and Irina! That apple cake reminds me of the TARTE TATIN French version that legend says was a mistake; the baker forgot the under crust and at the last minute put a crust on top of the apple mixture in a pan. After the pie was baked, the pie was flipped over, resulting in these pressed and glorious apples with the crust beautifully placed underneath.
It's fall time here now, FINALLY! And thank you my friend, for coming to visit. I hope your blog site is going OK NOW! Anita
It all looks sooo yummie! And that apple cake.... :)
Gee wiz, what a bommer! Just my luck that you live on the other side of the world! This looks absolutely njammie. Your version or Donna's version, there is no difference. I could almost taste it!
I love reading your foodie posts!! Everything looks so delicious. I'm still planning to make the beetroot and goats cheese risotto you shared a few weeks ago.
Mmmmmmmm, drooling now!

Apples and cinnamon my favourite smell in the kitchen and your delight is great!!!!!!
DZINTRA!!! My lemon/almond/ricotta cake is in the oven as I write!!
(hee...I almost said "as we speak"...it does feel like I'm right there cooking with you!)
Your styling and photos are GORGEOUS!! I was contemplating the apple cake recipe, but you made it, and wow...it looks amazing...I love how you added and cut that strawberry...perfect...
Wasn't it wonderful to have a whole section devoted to gluten-free? I am trying to get away from wheat, and love the almond meal. I must try the apple cake...
Will be posting it tonight...
Bon Appetit chere amie!!!

Dzintra, dear, thank you so much for coming by to share in the meal! That was wonderfully fun...
You absolutely must try the cake when you have a chance...and eat it the next day out of the fridge...I promise there won't be a crumb left! :))
Enjoy the weekend, dear friend!!
Love and hugs,
