Super Natural Every Day: Well-loved Recipes from My Natural Foods Kitchen
By Heidi Swanson
Ten Speed Press - 2011
Baked Oatmeal : page 44
Heidi has been my go to recipe maven lately and we have reveled in the delicious results! This recipe is no exception. I used coconut milk and coconut sugar/crystals, frozen fruit (bananas and blueberries). Topped with homemade almond milk the next day- so good. Will try making it with almonds and almond milk next time.

Buttermilk Cake : page 194
I liked it, didn't love it. The texture was nice and it was very pretty, but I thought the flavor was lacking. It may be better with some vanilla or almond extract thrown in.

Little Quinoa Patties : page 121
I really don't know how to rate these - if someone else was cooking them and I was doing the eating then I would definitely give them an easy 5 stars, but alas, I am the cook, consumer and last but not least, the cleaner! The mess I can make (with quinoa especially??) is ridiculous, so should I knock off a star for trouble? I didn't make it any easier when I decided to split the recipe in half - doing Heidi's version and a cilantro/ jalapeno /cumin version. I didn't have trouble with them falling apart though they are very fragile going into the pan. However, with all sorts of variations knocking around in my brain (spicy harissa, sun dried tomato, black olive) I'm sure I'll be making them again soon.
I baked a couple patties about 30 minutes (flipped after 20) in the oven at 400 on a greased pie plate. These were less brown, a touch less crispy but just as satisfying.

Oatcakes : page 204
These are very tasty! Reminds me of a British Flapjack, but slightly more cake-like. I agree that a little dried fruit would also be a welcome addition.
