I’ve been reading a lot of the raw/free from food blogs lately, mainly because their Instagram feeds are just so pretty that I get drawn in, but also because Tex and his dad can’t have cream or milk, and Pa also can’t have wheat, so dairy and wheat free free desserts are useful. I’d managed …

Blood Orange, Almond and Pistachio Cake
I have finally succumbed to the blood orange fever that's been going around instagram and Twitter.I will now admit to never having actually eaten a blood orange, so after everyone was going on about them, I thought I should.
