Sparta Rotterdam – The Oldest Club in Holland
The story of Sparta Rotterdam started in 1888, when it was founded, being a cricket club. Sparta is the oldest professional football club in the Netherlands. Sparta's home town is Rotterdam, Spangen. They play in an impressive stadium which is called "Het Kasteel" - The Castle.
In 1890 Sparta started playing football within the Dutch competition. Their first match was against Kralingen, a game they won easily: 6-0. After having played national matches for four years, Sparta wanted to see if they could succeed against an opponent from abroad. In 1893 Harwich & Parkstone FC (founded in 1877) visited "Spangen" to compete with Sparta Rotterdam, a game Sparta lost with a result of 0-8.

Trump considers "essential" houses of worship in the midst of the pandemic, but does not have the power to force the reopening
Trump has threatened to "get over" the governors if their states have not followed the new federal recommendations, but he has no authority to do so. Recommendations are voluntary.
"Some governors considered liquor stores and abortion clinics essential, but they left our churches and houses of worship. It's not fair. So I'm correcting this injustice and calling the houses of worship essential," Trump said. during his announcement in the White House.
The president said that, under his direction, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will provide guidance.
Trump said he called on governors to "allow churches and places of worship to open at this time."
"If there is any question, they will have to call me, but they will not be successful in that call," added Trump.
"Governors need to do the right thing and allow these vitally important places of faith to open right now, this weekend. If they don't, I will replace the governors," he continued.
Later in the briefing, White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx and White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany stressed that the reopening was at the discretion of governors and religious leaders.
"I think each of the leaders of the faith community should be in contact with their local health department so that they can communicate with their congregates. Certainly people who have significant comorbidities, we want them protected. I know those houses of worship want to protect them, "Birx said. "Maybe they can't go this week if there is a high number of Covid cases. Maybe they wait another week. But there is a way for social distance … in places of worship."

McEnany, when asked about Birx's answer, said that the decision to reopen on the basis of the new federal guide is "up to the governors".
McEnany would not explain which authority Trump would use to "override" governors' decisions to keep places of worship closed.
A senior administration official told CNN that the lead had initially been delayed because some officials believed the proposals were too detailed and that they would be impossible for churches and others to reach. There was also talk of not providing any guidance to religious services, but Trump had conversations with CDC officials and urged them to release something.
The White House coronavirus task force finalized the guide during a meeting on Thursday, the source said.
The president referred to conversations with CDC officials on Thursday, telling attendees and the press in a listening session with African Americans, "I said, 'You'd better put him out.'"
"Today I spoke to the Church CDC. We have to open our churches. We have to open our country," he said.
While Trump has lobbied localities and states to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, he has given special weight to the reopening of places of worship.
In April he said it would be "nice" for churches to be open and "crowded" on Easter Sunday. He later said the date was aspirational.
Before Easter Sunday, he advised faith leaders to wait for the country to "heal" the coronavirus pandemic before holding services in person.
But more recently, the President has complained that digital religious services are not the same as those in person.

"People want to be in their churches. It is wonderful to sit at home and watch something on a laptop, but it can never be the same as being in a church and being with your friends. And they want to have it open, and I think it will happen .. very soon, "said Trump during Thursday's listening session.
Large gatherings, such as those in houses of worship, have been linked to coronavirus groups. This month, two churches in Northern California have linked the spread of coronavirus among church members and clergy to Mother's Day services. A Texas church recently wiped out its masses after the death of one of its priests and five others later tested positive for coronavirus.

And the joke for the day begins along the lines of Liam Neeson's popping out of the crematorium oven in The A-Team movie and saying, "So Satan walks into a bar…" which causes the furnace operator to faint. I always wondered what the rest of the joke was. Today's similar knee slapper has Huawei asking the Department of Commerce why they were excluded from bidding on a wireless network for emergency responders. Well gosh, guys. Let me see here. Oh, yeah. Maybe it's because you are part of the Chinese cyberwar machine, and you've done jack squat to disabuse the world of your nefarious connections? You could have taken my February 22nd advice and had this problem long behind you. Now, however, you actually ask this question with a straight face? Get serious!
I'll pay $10 for the best shot at the rest of the joke.
AP reported Sunday (from Wired Magazine and finally picked up by CNN) that a computer virus has hit the military drone program.
Italian researcher has disclosed "several zero-day vulnerabilities in SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems."
"Momma, this elevator seems to be stuck, and I'm having trouble breathing."
"Momma, why did that airplane blow up the car ahead of us?"
You think the whacky clowns at Anonymous infected the military drone program? Get serious. A bunch of low-tech anarchists whose top tricks are DDoD or SQL-injection attacks are not up to this one. They couldn't even blitz all the DNS (Domain Name Servers) hardware to make good on their threat to erase the NYSE today (see my story here). Yep, all pants and no leg.
It takes government-level resources and something more closely approximating The Perfect Virus to hack our Predator program. One of last week's headlines is that U.S. lawmakers question cloud security. How about real clouds? The ones over the capitol?
Adolescent hubris tends to cheapen your "brand" when you fail to deliver on promises/threats. Simply put, no way in Hell is Anonymous going to "erase" the NYSE on October 10th (see PC Mag story). Alas, anarchists are like proverbial women: "Ya can't live with 'em; ya can't live without 'em."
My advice to Anonymous: Never EVER make threats you don't have locked and loaded (ie; already installed trojans, data bombs and other malware). I once debated the head of the New York chapter of the ACLU on the McNeil-Lehrer report (a national nightly news program). I'd invented a voice stress analyzer, and the ACLU claimed my product was an invasion of privacy. I actually agreed with them on the air. Stunned, everyone just blinked at me, incredulous that I'd make their case. So I subsequently added, "But if my device is declared illegal, I'll simply place an ad in a national newspaper and show how anyone can a voice stress analyzer from about $300 of Radio Shack parts). Several viewers subsequently commented to me that they could actually see the rush of pus hit the ACLU flack's brain. In short, my threat was specific and credible.
But to erase the NYSE? Come on, guys! Go take a bicycle ride. You're spending WAY too much time in the bat cave.

The Memory
A Nearly Normal Family
Lack luster
The story kept my interest throughout the entire book. However I kept hoping she would just leave the son of a B. The ending is lack luster and ends with a thud. It could have been a lot better. The characters are interesting and the dialogue is good. Again...the story just never really ends...which is not great.
Kept me interested and made me laugh several times. Also love the narrator! So happy I picked this book!
Not a psychological thriller<br />
I listened expecting this to be twisty and dark. Although, twisty in it's own way, it was not thrilling. I will say it makes an interesting statement about relationships, honesty and expectations
PollyAnna2
Great Great Great
It has been a very, very long time, since I've enjoyed a book this much. The writing is fantastic, the narration was perfect for the character, and overall the story was very relatable (though, not every unhinged idea that pops into your head, should be acted on). I truly enjoyed the fact that the emotions Mia went through, were spot on, and for that very reason, I laughed out loud at several points, and could completely (sadly) relate to the gut wrenching pain, of loving and trusting someone, so securely, that you don't even think it is possible, that they could look you in the eye, and lie to your face; smooth as butter. When in fact, it's margarine.
There are some stories, that can only really come across with this much impact, if the storyteller has lived through it themselves.
I wouldn't call this one a psychological thriller, at all. Just a completely relatable, and a totally addicting read.
Michele Kennedy
An excellent book from beginning to end. No fillers, boiling bunny in a pot mad🐇
Suzzann Villegas
Great book but.....
a rather strange ending. I hope there's going to be an additional book to answers & explain some of the questions and issues left open. Overall worth the purchase!
Booker Burney
Worth the credit
I enjoyed this book from start to finish. Drama, love, and revenge. Crazy what love makes us do.
Natasha Zar
Drama That Could've Been Saved With 1 Conversation
There were some interesting parts of the book, even some parts that were funny. But as a whole, I didn't like this book. Most mature adults will approach their partner upon finding what seems like a suspicious text message on their phone. Mia went from seeing a message that may or may not have been evidence of infidelity and just ran with it, plotting and planning and doing all kinds of ridiculous things to get rid of the other woman.
There were a few questions I kept thinking as I listened:
Why the hell would you want to "fight" for a scumbag if you believe he has cheated on you in the first place?
Why would you have sex with him if you believed he was having sex with someone else, not only putting your health at risk but totally flushing your pride and self worth down the toilet?
Why were you willing to confront and cut off your friend who kissed him in the past but be willing to stay quiet in light of his affair?
I rolled my eyes so hard and so many times that I think I sprained one.
Lucy Dawson is a good writer but her plot needs to be a bit sturdier.
CBA_13
I would not categorize this as a psychology thriller.
There were some decent parts, but it was painful to listen constantly to how sad/tired/unsure/exhausted/upset/confused/teary/bewildered/stillll tired and sad, etc., she is- allll the time.
It was just okay.
And warning, you will want to smack the lead character, tell her to get a backbone, and get on with her life.
Tons of eye rolls.
Narrator was great.
Khristina
Not a fan of a blank ending
The story line is very compelling. Also, more truth in the book that relate to people in real life. I loved the story, alllllllll they way until the end. Very disappointed. Very disappointed! I love Lucy Dawson though, this book just wasn't for me.

Where to stay in Dubrovnik – A guide to the "Pearl of the Adriatic"
The old city of Dubrovnik, which delves into the Adriatic Sea with a backdrop of rugged limestone mountains, is known as one of the most beautiful and best preserved medieval towns in the world.
For centuries, Dubrovnik competed with Venice as a trading port, with its huge and sturdy stone walls, built between the 11th and 17th centuries, providing protection to this ancient city-state.
Today, these walls, which protected a civilized and sophisticated republic for centuries, still enclose the historic center of Dubrovnik and it is possible to walk on them with the best views of the Pearl of the Adriatic and its lush green islands of turquoise waters.
Its white limestone streets, baroque buildings and the infinite shine of the Adriatic Sea make Dubrovnik one of the most romantic cities in the world.
Although the bombing of Dubrovnik in 1991 horrified the world, the city recovered vigorously to enchant its visitors again.
Dubrovnik has a convenient bus system for those who do not want to walk or take a taxi to get around the city.
Dubrovnik has a warm subtropical Mediterranean climate with a dry and hot summer and a moderate seasonality. Winters offer mild temperatures and a rainy and variable climate.
As for the best areas to stay, the historic city center offers medieval street full of charm and most of Dubrovnik's tourist attractions ( see hotels in Dubrovnik's Old Town). If you are looking for tranquility and a more "small town" vibe, then Cavtat is probably the best option (see Cavtat hotels).
This is a list with the top districts to stay in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Best areas to stay in Dubrovnik
Our favourite district: Stari Grad
Stari Grad means "Old Town" and it is the historic quarter of Dubrovnik.
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic', located on the Dalmatian coast, became an important maritime power in the Mediterranean region from the 13th century onwards.
Although severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains.
Although the city was damaged again in the 1990s by the armed conflict in the Balkans, the city is now the focus of a major restoration program coordinated by UNESCO.
For centuries, Dubrovnik rivaled Venice as the quintessential commercial port of the Mediterranean, with its massive, solid stone walls, built between the 11th and 17th centuries, which provided protection to this ancient city-state. Today, these walls still enclose the historic center of Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik's churches, monasteries and baroque palaces, its fountains and Renaissance facades stand on its gleaming marble squares. Most cobblestone streets and houses in the Old Town have remained unchanged for centuries.
The attractions of Stari Grad include its famous city walls, with its towers and fortresses, the Knezev Dvor and Sponza palaces, the churches of Sveti Vlaho, and Dubrovnik Cathedral, several monasteries, the Stradun square, Luža square, Orlando's Column, Jesuit Stairs; the Bell Tower and the Old Port.

Why we love this area for a stay in Dubrovnik:

Shopping and leisure options
Great tourist attractions
Charming hotels
Studio Apartments Stradun
Studio Stradun enjoys a convenient location on Dubrovnik's famous waterfront, within walking distance of many shops, bars and restaurants. It offers studios and air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi and TV.
Villa Sigurata is located in 3 stone houses in Dubrovnik's Old Town, 50 meters from the famous Stradun Street. It offers air-conditioned rooms with a flat-screen satellite TV and stone elements.
The Pucic Palace
Pucic Palace occupies an impressive 18th-century Baroque building, located in the historic center of Dubrovnik, next to Stradun Street, combining classic architecture with the comforts of a 5-star establishment.
Cavtat is probably the most southern resort in Croatia, located about 20 km south of Dubrovnik and only 22 km from the border with Montenegro.
Cavtat is an extremely nice town, and it is a great place to stay if you are looking for all the sights and culture of Dubrovnik, but do not want the hustle and bustle. It is very easy to travel between Cavtat and Dubrovnik.
Without Cavtat, there would be no Dubrovnik, since it was refugees from the original Cavtat who founded the city of Dubrovnik in the year 614.
But Cavtat is an interesting destination in itself. Much more "local" than Dubrovnik, that is, it is not flooded by tourists every day, and it also has its own charm.
Its beautiful harbor, surrounded by beaches and with a backdrop of towering hills is nothing if not charming.
Cavtat is very easy to access from Dubrovnik and vice versa: local bus number 10 makes this route approximately every hour. You can also travel between the two by boat and water-taxi.
Cavtat is actually very close to the Dubrovnik airport. If you fly from the airport, which is only 6 km away, it is easy to get to Cavtat by taxi.

Ploče is one of the districts of Dubrovnik, just east of the old town.
Ploče is the most attractive area to stay in Dubrovnik (apart from the Historical Center).
Ploče iza Grada can be translated as Ploče "behind the city", which is exactly where the Ploče district is located.
From anywhere in the Ploče district you can easily reach the Old Town.
This district is located next to the eastern walls of the city, which means that it is a few steps from the attractions of the Old Town (5-10 minutes on foot). Ploče is an excellent place to stay because it combines the two best characteristics of Dubrovnik: views of the sea and the historical charm of the old city.
Some of Dubrovnik's most exclusive hotels are located in front of the beach in this area. From many of Ploče's hotels, rooms offer views of the old city walls, the blue Adriatic water and the lush vegetation of nearby Lokrum Island in the distance.
The bustling historical area of Ploče is right next to the city walls, where you will find charming cafés, souvenir shops and several historical attractions.
Banje Beach, the most attractive public beach of Dubrovnik, is located in this area.
Here you will also find the boarding station of the Dubrovnik cable car.

Sunset Apartments
Dubrovnik Sunset Apartments is located at the entrance to the Old Town, and is only 300 meters from Stradun and 5 meters from the beach. All accommodations offer views of the center, and some have views of the Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik Residence Nodilo
Dubrovnik Residence is 100 meters from the beach and 500 meters from the Old Town of Dubrovnik. It offers air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi and free private parking. All rooms are modern in style.
This 5-star hotel occupies a monumental building facing the sea, just a 5-minute walk from the historic center of Dubrovnik. It offers 850 m² luxury spa, private beach and 4 restaurants.
Lapad is a large peninsula just outside Dubrovnik's Old Town, on its western side.
Lapad is mainly a residential district, located about 3 km northwest of the walled city. The interior part of this neighbourhood is very quiet and full of green areas, with many views of the sea and some excellent restaurants.
Lapad boasts a large amount of accommodation options, including hotels, apartments and bed and breakfast, but as it is so residential, you do not have the feeling of being in a super touristy spot (like you do in the Old City). There are bars, cafes, restaurants and shops used by locals and visitors alike.
Lapad is a relatively new part of Dubrovnik.
Lapad Bay is perhaps the best bay for swimming in Dubrovnik. The area is like a valley between two hills. Most of the accommodation options here are located in the valley or in the lower parts of the hills. Lapad has a large stretch of gravel beach, so no matter where you stay, you'll always be a short distance from the sea.
To get to the peninsula from the old town of Dubrovnik you can take a bus from the Pile-bus station Libertas, routes 2, 6 or 4.

City Break Apartment
City Break Apartment is an accommodation located in Dubrovnik, 1.4 km from the Old Town. This two-bedroom apartment features free WiFi, a flat-screen satellite TV, a washing machine and a kitchen with a dishwasher.
Located north of Lapad, Babin Kuk is the beach area par excellence of Dubrovnik.
Adorned with shrubs and Mediterranean trees, this quiet peninsula offers a more "resort" experience than a cultural or urban one.
Babin Kuk is ideal for families, since there is a lot of wooded space and hotels are usually very family-friendly.
Couples looking to pamper themselves at a five-star hotel, relax on the beach or take romantic walks will also enjoy Babin Kuk.
However, spending time with the locals is not part of the Babin Kuk experience. As there are few residences and even fewer restaurants and cafes, hotel guests have to utilize the hotel facilities or take one of the frequent local buses to go to the old town of Dubrovnik.
The southern tip of Babin Kuk contains the largest beach in Dubrovnik, Copacabana, a well-equipped pebble beach for a day of sun and sea.
Those looking for a more exclusive beach experience should head to the nearby Coral Beach Club, one of the best beach clubs in Croatia. This new and modern establishment looks towards the island Daksa and is known for its cocktails.
For a different view, try Solitudo beach a few steps east of Copacabana.

Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on NCIS: LA, Grey's, This Is Us, The Resident, The Gifted, Runaways, SEAL Team and More
By Matt Webb Mitovich / August 14 2018, 10:38 AM PDT
Courtesy of CBS, Fox and Hulu
Do things look grim for an NCIS: LA agent? Is a Resident role terminal? Will a Grey's romance hit a baby bump? Read on for answers to those questions plus teases from other shows.
I'd love a Season 2 scoop on The Resident, preferably Conrad/Nic-related. —Colleen
Well, this major spoiler could be about one of them — but I really hope it's not, seeing as the Fox sophomore is gearing up to kill off what sounds like a major character. "We really want people to get attached to all of these characters this season," EP Todd Harthan tells TVLine, before cryptically adding, "because… not everyone survives Season 2."
I was so impressed with the first season of SEAL Team. What's next for the team? –Mark
Now that deployment is over and the team has returned home, it's safe to say that Jason will have to deal with the new normal with estranged wife Alana — especially since Michaela McManus will be back for the Season 2 opener. "I had such a blast on that show," she told me at the Upfronts, where she was promoting her midseason NBC drama The Village. "I love working with David Boreanaz, and I love that character and how they gave me some really great material. That show really gives you an inside look at what it's like for their families that are left behind."
Hi there! Any scoop on This Is Us? –Rebecca
At a red carpet event on Monday night, we asked EP Elizabeth Berger to tease one of Season 3's funnier story points, and she said that Kate, "in her singing career, has some odd jobs we're very excited about. We see her in different situations and Chrissy [Metz] is tackling them so beautifully."
Any teasers for this upcoming Season 10 of NCIS: Los Angeles? —Tony
They say a picture is worth 1,000 teasers. Or something. So… there's this, below. (Plus some actual words, from the logline for the Season 10 premiere, titled "To Live or Die in Mexico" and airing Sunday, Sept. 30: "Gravely injured and unable to communicate with the team in the U.S., Callen, Sam and Kensi, with an unconscious Deeks in tow, search for a safe way home as the Mexican Cartel places a "dead or alive" bounty on their heads.")
With the new season of The Gifted on the way, I know you have something to get me excited! What will make my jaw drop? –Keith
Caitlin channeling a chiseled Sarah Connor sends my jaw south, and it sounds like we'll get a bit of that. As Amy Acker told me the other day, "We got the script for the first episode [of Season 2], and it said 'Six months later, Caitlin's face is hardened by grief, her body is hardened by six months of intense training' — and I was like, 'Uhhhh… someone could have mentioned that to me!," seeing as she only had five days to get pumping some iron. As for the now-infamous rumor of Caitlin swinging some steel, "That has yet to come to fruition," Acker clarified. "But I paid for sword-fighting lessons, so I feel like we've got to do something, right?"
Anything on how Teddy's return on Grey's Anatomy will affect Owen and Amelia's relationship? –Ellie
Heck, that is almost the exact question I asked Kevin McKidd when I saw him at ABC's TCA party. "It's the 'Season of Love,' they say, and love can be complicated. And it is going to be complicated for a while for Owen," he shared. After all, "Owen has yearned to be a father, for years. It's what broke him and Cristina up," he reminds, "and it's been the Holy Grail for him, to achieve that." That said, learning that Teddy is carrying his long-awaited scion won't be all warm fuzzies. "We haven't played that moment yet," McKidd said, "but the reality is that the last time we saw them together, she basically said, 'I never want to speak to you again! We're done as friends and everything' — and he deserved it! So, I think it's going to be fun."
Good Behavior is a great show, so why hasn't TNT given an answer on whether it's coming back or not? –Christopher
As recently as May, TNT chief Kevin Reilly said that he couldn't foresee "multiple" more seasons, though he did hope to "properly bring [the series] to a conclusion." Now, three months later, I am hearing the show's fate is… still "in flux."
Any chance you have scoop on The Flash's 100th? –Chris
I thought CW boss Mark Pedowitz would for sure come to TCA with a vittle to throw us, but my fishing expedition came up empty. And though he for a hot second suggested that Episode 100 would be The Flash's contribution to December's crossover event, I have since confirmed that what Comic-Con told us holds true — that milestone hour will precede the three-way mash-up.
Any scoop on what to expect from Hawaii Five-0 Season 9? –Justin
This season's Thanksgiving episode comes to you from the keyboard of series costar/new Writers Guild member Chi McBride, "and that's a big deal for us," showrunner Peter M. Lenkov notes. "Chi called me up and said, 'I have this thing…,' and I said, 'Write it!' We met a couple of times and he turned in a great script."
Gimme all that you can on Good Witch! —Alyssa P
We caught up with Catherine Bell at TCA, where she noted, "There's supposed to be a wedding in the Halloween special" airing Sunday, Oct. 21. "But I'm not sure… We'll see what happens!" As for what the recently ordered Season 5 holds, "We're just starting up again in a couple of weeks, so I don't have a lot of information yet," she hedged. "I know that the Halloween special is always my favorite. It's what the show is about, so I'm excited about that."
Who will be the main villain of The CW's Legacies? —KoS
We don't necessarily have a name — or even a species — for Legacies' first major villain, but series creator Julie Plec promises it's coming. During the show's informal TCA Q&A, she confirmed that "there is definitely an overall Big Bad that we slowly hint at." In the meantime, "We're doing something … that I have never done before, which is embracing, not always, but often, a Monster of the Week."
Is there any news on Season 4 of Angie Tribeca? I know it was renewed, but it's been well over a year since the last episode aired. –Jennifer
As noted in TVLine's "Missing Shows" round-up, Angie will be back "in 2019."
What can we expect from Season 5 of How to Get Away With Murder? –Leor
"Oh my gosh – the first episode is like a return to form," ABC entertainment chief Channing Dungey raved to me at TCA. " Like, I felt the same way reading it when I first read the first script of Season 1." Which is not to say, as I hoped/suggested, that the Iconic Twirling Cheerleader is back. Rather, "The twist and turns come at you right away," Dungey said. "I think people will be really excited to see how the mystery unfolds this season."
Any scoop on Marvel's Runaways? –Michelle
The Karolina/Nico relationship that sparked at the close of the Hulu series' freshman run "is, in a large way, the emotional core" of Season 2, co-showrunner Josh Schwartz says. And yet the freedom the girls now enjoy might just flummox them a bit! "They both sort of declared themselves to each other," says co-showrunner Stephanie Savage, "and now they're in a situation where they're living without their parents but they're living with the rest of the runways in the same house — which is a pretty quick advancement of a new relationship for young people. They're going to be struggling not just with trying to save the world, but how to have an appropriate teenage relationship in such an adult situation."

Some ladies go ga-ga for flowers, or a box of fancy chocolates. Some like sparkly hand bags (they're not called purses anymore – I just learned that). Some will swoon over a pair of designer shoes, or a fine piece of jewelry stashed in a velvet box.
But to me, few things say "I love you" more than an industrial food processor or heavy duty stand mixer. I'll take the steel of a good chef's knife over gold or platinum any day – though I'm equally happy with a set of vintage silver flatware, or perhaps some BPA-free polycarbonate.
This tart was inspired by a few different sources: a raw pumpkin pie I tried at Cafe Gratitude many years ago, and Comfy Belly's Raw Chocolate Cheesecake. I wanted it to look as pretty as the Marbled Pumpkin Gingersnap Tart in The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. So I made something up, and tweaked it three times to get the flavor and texture just so.
I start with a crust of pecans, almonds, coconut oil and maple syrup. A hit of salt gives the crust a crack-like addictiveness, and ginger and cinnamon add warmth. I found that toasting the nuts lightly makes the crust infinitely more flavorful.
The filling begins with a cashew cream flavored with vanilla, a bit of salt, and maple syrup. Melted coconut oil, which is solid when chilled, sets the tart to a slice-able consistency. Before adding butternut squash puree, carrot juice (to give the tart a brighter hue), and spices, I set aside some cashew cream to swirl into the top of the tart. A combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and fresh ginger give the filling a classic taste which, it you're like me, will bring on a flood of positive Thanksgiving dessert memories.
the same time, like a good cheesecake or a thick whipped cream.
A few things worth mentioning: Cafe Gratitude's original recipe calls for raw, grated pumpkin, but I prefer to roast and puree my own butternut squash, as butternuts tend to have more consistent flavor, and the thought of eating raw squash gives me the willies. I've given directions on how to do this in the headnote below. If you're not already a squash puree-maker, know that the process is simple. Most of the time is hands-off while the squash bakes and then cools, and extra puree can be refrigerated or frozen for future use.
Also, for this kind of dessert, it's important not to over-process the filling once the coconut oil has been added, since this can cause the coconut oil to solidify into tiny, white speckles. If this happens, the dessert will still taste fine, but it will look grainy and curdled rather than silky smooth. To avoid this fate, work quickly once you've added the oil, and blend just enough to combine. I like to stir together the squash puree, carrot juice, and spices separately to minimize the blending time.
Jay insists that this is the best dessert he's had in a long time, though he admits that his nostalgic soft spot for pumpkin desserts may have something to do with it. Clearly, the way to a man's heart is through his pumpkin dessert stomach.
And though the way to mine may be through a workhorse of a kitchen appliance, I still wouldn't turn my nose up at a bouquet of tulips or two..
With inspiration from the Marbled Pumpkin Gingersnap Tart in The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, and Comfy Belly's Raw Chocolate Cheesecake.
This recipe has several steps – making the squash puree, soaking the cashews, toasting and cooling the nuts (optional), and chilling the assembled tart for several hours – so you'll want to begin this project a day ahead or early in the day. The tart keeps well airtight and refrigerated for three or four days, and the flavor only improves. It can also be wrapped snugly and frozen; defrost before serving.
I use homemade butternut squash puree in the filling, as the flavor is more clean and fresh than the canned stuff. To make butternut puree, cut a butternut squash in half lengthwise. Leave the seeds in (they're easier to scrape out post-baking) and place the squash halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF until the squash is soft and collapsing, about 45 minutes. Let cool enough to handle, scrape out the strings and seeds and discard. Scrape out the flesh, discarding the skin, and puree in a blender or food processor until silky smooth. The puree will keep in the fridge for up to several days, or it can be frozen for future uses.
I prefer the flavor of lightly toasted nuts in the crust, though if you prefer to go raw, or are short on time, you can skip this step. To toast the nuts, place the pecans and almonds on a smallish, rimmed baking sheet and toast in a 325ºF oven or toaster oven until fragrant and slightly darkened. Do make sure they're completely cool before proceeding, lest you end up with steamy nut butter.
In the body of a blender or food processor, pulse together the pecans, almonds, ginger, cinnamon and salt until the nuts are finely ground (but not becoming nut butter). Drizzle over the maple syrup and coconut oil, then pulse just until the mixture begins to clump together.
Dump the crust mixture onto an 8- or 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use moistened fingers to press the crust squarely up the sides and into the bottom of the pan. Freeze the crust while you prepare the filling.
Wipe out the blender (or food processor) body, and add the soaked and drained cashews, maple syrup, and salt. Pulse until the cashews are ground. Add the water and vanilla extract, and blend on high speed until the mixture is silky smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. With the motor running, pour in the melted coconut oil; mix just until combined. Remove 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the cashew cream and set aside for the swirl.
In a smallish bowl, stir together the squash puree, carrot juice, grated ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add this to the blender, and blend on low just until combined.
Remove the crust from the freezer, and place on a platter or rimmed baking sheet for easy maneuverability.
Pour the squash mixture into the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the reserved cashew cream onto the surface of the tart. Use a toothpick or the tip of a paring knife to gently swirl the mixture; be careful not to over-swirl, or you will lose the definition of the swirls.
To serve, place the tart on a large can or an inverted ramekin. Gently east off the sides of the pan, taking care not to break the crust. Use a large, sharp chef's knife, wiped clean between cuts, to cut the tart into wedges.
The only pumpkin lover? Madness! I guess there's no accounting for taste… Thanks for the sweet note!
Haha, thanks, Eileen! In a just world, pumpkin pie would be eaten year-round rather than be relegated to a single day, so say I!
Wowza! This is incredible! I'll definitely have to try this one out. I love how the gingersnap crust doesn't have actual gingersnap cookies!
Thanks, Katie! I usually have issues with people labeling things like nut crusts "gingersnap," but I did it as an homage to Smitten Kitchen's tart, so hopefully that makes it ok. Thanks a lot for the kind words!
My mouth is watering. I want this right now!
The patterns are just gorgeous. Pinning this. And love the 'gingersnap' crust- flippin brilliant.
Ha! Thank you, Shu Han.
Beautiful recipe and styling… you're making me want a blender upgrade along with a slice of pie. I've always wanted to try cashew-based filling, but have never gotten around to it. This could tip the scales!
Thank you, Irina! I'm admiring your recipes and styling, too! I'm so happy about our blender; I've been practically leaping out of bed every morning to make smoothies for breakfast. Hooray for modern technology!
This looks exquisite, and I've been on a pinning rampage through your site tonight!
Hello Alanna. What a gorgeous tart. I'm pinning this right away. And I'm also pining over your blender! Thank you for sharing!
A must try recipe, I admit! I also didn't know butternut squash is also called pumpkin (?) Anyway, lovely presentation and picture so I think I'll try this out. My previous experimentation with vegan pumpkin tart was all right, nothing too special/ great about it. I also am on the look out for a nice blender and with so many choices/ price level, it's quite exhausted to get one that fits what I need for it to do! Thanks for the post and for sharing!
We almost always make one of your recipes for our once a week sweet thing. We made this Sunday and it was amazing!! And it didn't make me feel like I'd eaten a sugar rock like most pumpkin pie always has. Thank you so much!
You do?! That makes me so happy! Thank you for the sweet note, and I'm so glad you liked the tart!
So I am going to make this for Thanksgiving – really excited about it! Because I have an abundance of sweet potatoes, I'd like to substitute them for the butternut squash. Do you think that would work as well?
And – did your crust get soggy really quick? I would like to make this on Wednesday before the big day and I'm wondering if that will be alright.
Thanks so much for the beautiful post!
Hi Penni! I think sweet potatoes should work well in place of the butternut; they tend to have less moisture, so the tart may be a bit more dense unless you add more carrot juice. I thought this tart only got better after a day or two in the fridge, so making it Wednesday should be perfect. I don't recall the crust getting soft. Please let me know how it goes!
Alanna, I can't eat coconut oil and your recipe looks so delicious. Do you have any substitute suggestions for the coconut oil? Butter maybe? I know it isn't vegan but couldn't think of anything else that is close.
I made this for Thanksgiving and it turned out PERFECTLY! I followed your recipe exactly (thank you for the great instructions) and the pie was a work of art. I was so proud! And no one shunned my vegan/gluten-free confection at Thanksgiving. I always expect someone to be reluctant, but I think the beauty of this pie overcomes any doubters. I've made many recipes from your blog and I'm always inspired by your amazing photography. Thank you for doing this work. I'm going to make a full-sized raw vegan chocolate cheesecake for Christmas Eve. My cashews are soaking as I write … And I'll be tacking some truffles this week, too! Can't wait :-). Happy Holidays!
Hi Vanessa! I'm so glad you made the tart and that it was a hit – that's awesome! Thank you for the glowing review and the super sweet words! That completely makes my day. :D I hope you love the truffles and cheesecake – be sure to come back and tell me how they turn out!
This came out amazing! It looks just like the pictures. The texture of the filling is so airy and the spice level is spot on. The only thing I did differently was to add a little extra maple syrup to the filling, about 1.5 tb. it was not quite sweet enough to my taste. Different strokes for different folks :) but we absolutely love it and will definitely make again.
if I don't have access to a removable bottom tart pan, is there any alternative option I could use? or will it ruin the tart?..
I was wondering, could I use orange juice instead of carrot juice or wouldn't those flavors pair well?
Hi Ingrid, Hm, I'm not sure. It could be good, or the acidity might be clashy with the spices. Please let me know what you end up trying and how it goes.
Could I make this on Sunday and freeze it for Thanksgiving on Thurs?
hello! I stumbled across this amazing recipe looking for a yummy raw pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving this week! I don't have a juicer though and wondering if I could just omit the carrot juice? Would that totally mess up the recipe? This looks delicious, can't wait to try it!!
Oh, I just thought – apple juice might work!
