It only seems like yesterday that I was outside the city hosting another beautiful Secret Supper alongside my beautiful team! This Supper felt a bit extra special as I had a guest in town, Valentina Solfrini! We’ve been online friends since my early blogging days, and it was such a treat to meet in person! She joined us for the weekend all the way from her home in Italy to help partake of the exciting weekend and also see Portland. It was such a joy to have her ( I could go on and on about our sweet time together), and of course we had to plan an epic collaboration with her, Eva and I post Supper! More on this below, but first:

So if you’ve been around Instagram the last week, you’ll see I’ve been hinting at an exciting announcement! Thrilled to finally be able to share the news. I’m excited to let you know that Valentina and I are co hosting an Online Food Styling & Photography Workshop! You can see all the details at the below link! The course is 4 weeks in length and starts the first weekend of August. Space is limited and there’s an early bird price valid for the next 6 days, so make sure to sign up asap!

The morning after we returned from the Supper, we met up, walked down the street to the store, got some tasty ingredients, and then came back to my studio and made Gluten Free Pancakes with Fresh Ricotta & Maple Chai Rhubarb. We were all quite spent after the weekend to say the least, but I tell you what, every time I get behind my camera, I just come so completely alive. The beauty of our collaborative shoot fueled us all the way through, and at the end, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast together. It was perfect! Make sure to check out Valentina’s post at this link.

If you’ve noticed the gorgeous wares used in this shoot, I’ll let you know that we used a set of Mimi Ceramics that Mica hand crafted for our June Secret Supper. Aren’t they gorgeous? You can purchase your very own set, as Mimi is selling the stock left from our Supper, link here! In addition, we used this beautiful cast iron Staub oval baking dish We also incorporated Dona Chai into the rhubarb compote, another sponsor from the Supper. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to see the full lineup of sponsors and items in next week’s post!

Gluten Free Pancakes with Fresh Ricotta & Maple Chai RhubarbRhubarb Chai CompoteHoney Figs

Gluten Free Pancakes

Serves 4

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup ricotta
  • 1/2 cup milk (or alternate milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup brown rice flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch salt

Rhubarb Chai Compote

Makes approx. 1 cup compote

  • 2 stalks rhubarb, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup Dona Chai tea concentrate

Honey Figs

  • 6 fresh figs
  • honey

Directions

Add the eggs to a bowl with the melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla, and whisk well with a fork until the eggs turn slightly frothy. Add the ricotta (pass it through a sieve for an extra smooth result, but it is really unnecessary), and mash it in the eggs with the fork. Add the milk, ad whisk again.

Add in the flours, baking soda and salt, and mix until well incorporated, but do not over mix. The batter should be quite thick, but pourable.

Lightly oil and heat a nonstick pan or skillet. Once hot, add a couple tablespoonfuls of batter per pancake, cover, and cook for one minute. Once the edges of the pancakes begin to set, carefully flip them and cook, covered, for another minute, or until golden brown. Repeat until you run out of batter. You should end up with 9 pancakes.

Serve immediately. If there are extras, allow to cool at room temp. The pancakes can be stored in the fridge or freezer, then reheated in a toaster oven or under the grill for best results.

For the compote, add all the ingredients to a pot and simmer over low heat, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, stirring every now and then, until thick and jam-like.

For the honey figs, preheat oven to high on broil. Slice figs in half lengthwise and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with honey and place in oven on top rack. Let figs broil for about 10 minutes, checking every few minutes to ensure they don’t burn. Figs are done when they’re lightly brown on top and are sizzling throughout. Remove from oven and serve; hot from the oven or at room temperature.
