Roasted Vegetable Cake

How flippin' gorgeous is this cake??? Part fritatta, part cake, part cutie patootie. I think the cooking skills to make this would be in the easy to intermediate range - I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility for most home cooks. Regardless, this is what I'd classify as a "weekend" recipe - something not to be rushed. Or, pre roast the veggies on Sunday, and have them ready to whip together for a Monday night CE feast.




Roast Vegetable Cake with Ricotta Cheese

  • 8 organic eggs
  • 250 grams ( 9 ounces )organic  ricotta cheese
  • 125 grams ( 5 ounces ) organic cream cheese
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to taste
  • 50 ml ( about 2 ounces ) olive oil for drizzling over the vegetables
  • 30 gram ( 1 oz ) organic butter  to saute the spinach
  • 2 large waxy potatoes,  peeled and sliced
  • 1 sweet potato,  peeled and sliced,
  • 3 roasted peppers (capsicums), roasted, skin removed
  • 9 ounces pumpkin or butternut squash,  peeled and cubed
  • 150 grams ( 6-8 ounces ) baby spinach leaves
  1. Place the eggs, ricotta, cream cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a food processor and mix until smooth.
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice the potatoes and sweet potato, peel and cube the pumpkin and lay these on a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with some olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft enough that you can pierce through them with a fork.
  3. If you are roasting the peppers yourself, char each pepper over an open flame using a pair of tongs. When the peppers have blackened, place them in a large bowl and cover with clingwrap for a few minutes. Carefully peel the skin off the peppers. Otherwise, you can use store bought peppers as well.
  4. Heat a pan with some butter and lightly saute the spinach. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a large round cake pan (mine measured 9" wide by 2" high), layer the potato slices, the sweet potato, red peppers, cubed pumpkin, and then pour over the egg mixture. Finally, add the sauteed spinach. Allow the mixture to settle for around ten minutes.


  1. Bake the frittata for around 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when you insert this through the center of the cake.
  2. Remove from the oven, allow to cool before slicing.

Another Falafel Cracker Recipe with Za'atar ( GF)

I know I made falafel crackers last week , but this is a totally different recipe. It's lighter and crispier than the previous recipe, so you might want to give these a try.  I had never made crackers before last week, but they are really fast, easy, and fun to make. A batch of these 50 crackers from start to finish took me under 30 minutes ( I didn't count the 15 minutes of chill time). In addition, they are gluten free, dairy free, egg free and delicious. We love falafel and it's interesting spices,  so naturally I knew we would love these tasty falafel flavored crisps. What makes them taste like falafel? The chick pea flour, the sesame seeds, the cumin, the turmeric, the coriander and the spice blend called za'atar. What is za'atar or zahtar? Za'atar is a prepared spice blend that is used in many Middle Eastern countries.Although the recipes might vary, Za'atar may be made of any of the following spices: ground thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, hyssop an...

Falafel Crackers Anyone?

This is an interesting gluten free snack idea and entertaining idea !  Can you imagine crackers that taste like falafel! For those of you who have tasted falafel before, you know you are in for a treat. For those who have never had falafel, you will have to trust me on this one. I assure you that the recipe is truly flavorful and is reminiscent of falafel. I found this recipe on a blog called May I Have That Recipe - a delightful blog created by two sisters who post vegetarian, vegan, and kosher recipes. This recipe happens to be gluten free as well - as many of their recipes are; many of their other recipes can be easily adapted to be gluten free.

This recipe calls for G arbanzo bean flour  ( chick pea flour) which can be found online or in most health food stores or health food isles in the supermarkets.
