Summary: The twelfth night after Christmas marks the end of the celebrations and is the time for taking down the decorations. The French still keep the medieval tradition of baking a cake containing a dried bean. The person who gets the bean is the King or Queen for the evening, and is crowned with a paper crown. He or she is all powerful and can demand favours and forfeits from the guests, so make sure you know where the bean is hidden in the cake.
Just use gluten free flour and gluten free baking powder to make the cake gluten free.

Summary: Traditional Pesto calls for generous quantities of basil, but wild garlic and other herbs, greens and edible weeds also make for equally tasty pestos. This Raw Vegan Wild Spring Greens Pesto uses wild garlic, plentiful in Spring, various foraged edible wild greens : chickweed, dandelion, lamb's quarters, ... and spring baby spinach.
Cashews and flaked almonds bring crunch, while nutritional yeast replaces the traditional hard cheese flavour, and this version leaves the garlic out, due to the heavy presence of wild garlic.
Absolutely delicious on toast, pasta, eggs, in sandwiches, to make a pesto risotto or even as a dip for raw vegetable sticks.
