~Cook Up With donna......and Irina~ No 23


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
