Adventures in Color and Cooking

[livefrommombasa]

Cooking is one big adventure. I never cease to be amazed by the things that I can create just by following a recipe. Yesterday for Beltane I made some deliciously gorgeous food. What was so amazing was the color. I made a red velvet cake, which called for me to chop up and boil some beets in order to get the deep, rich red color of red velvet cake

It's from the book ExtraVeganZa by Laura Matthais. She runs an organic farm and B&B in British Columbia called Phoenix Farm. I'll post the recipes when I get a chance - they've very good, although the pesto was very very garlicky.
