    Hi Tiana!

    Was interesting reading your staples! I’m intrigued on why you keep your coconut flour in the freezer? Is there a spoilage issue I am not aware of? I guess logically it is quite high in fat so perhaps would spoil…?

      Hey lovely,

      Thank you, haha I always keep coconut flour in the freezer to extend the shelf life as I don’t use it very often! I store it in a air tight jar to keep any moister out. I find this works well because of the high oil and protein content, it’s more susceptible to spoilage.

      How do you store your flour??

      Lovely to hear from you,

      Tiana xx

    Hi, Tiana.

    What type of blender do you use I ? I can’t decide if I should get one or a food processor as I have neither and would really love to make some raw food.

      Hi Serah,

      I use a bio chef blender and have been for about 3 years! It’s great to make raw desserts and will make smoothies so creamy and delicious! Also vitamix is amazing but a little bit more expensive. I started off using a food processor and it was also good but I liked the blender because I make smoothies most days and just wanted one that does it all. Hope this helps xx

    Hey Tiana!
    What is the size if a spring form you use cooking cashew cheesecakes? And how much grams in a cup?

      Hey Lovely Marina,

      I use 20cm spring form cake tin. The smaller the cake tin the higher the cake will be!
      Grams vary depending on what ingredients you are referring to for example: 1 cup oats is 85g and 1 cup of honey or maple syrup is 340g!

      Hope this helps and feel free to ask me if you want to know anything else:)
