Rhubarb and Ginger Cake
I bought some Rhubarb the other day. It has since then been in the fridge. Staring at me. I was walking home from work yesterday though, and a sudden thought occurred to me, a previous well loved recipe is for apple cake, and surely rhubarb is pretty similar to apples when it comes to moisture content? […]
Bake Sale Bakes: Chilli Cheese Twists
So, the last of the things I made for today! I have made some cheese twists before, but added a little spicy extra this time. Rough Puff Pastry Recipe – this is the same recipe as the Banana Tarte Tatin I made from the Great British Bake Off book, but is also available here. Ingredients 225g/8oz plain flour, plus extra […]
Bake Sale Bakes: Rhubarb and Apple Softies
Here is recipe number 2 from my bake sale goodies. I always try and make at least one vegan friendly thing when we have a bake sale, as one of my coworkers is vegan and so I like to make sure everyone can have some goodies… and of course donate to charity! So I made […]
Bake Sale Bakes: Almond and Chocolate Cupcakes
We love a good bake sale at my workplace, quite often it’s for the hospital charity, but this time around we had one for a charity that one of my colleagues was involved with while she did VSO in Indonesia. I made some “Rolo” Cupcakes like I have made before, and also some individual Bakewell […]
Saffron, Broad Bean, and New Potato Salad
Hot hot hot! Of course, when it’s hot, you don’t really want to be cooking heavy meals. This week I received my Riverford Veg Box, and included in the box is usually a recipe using some of the contents of the box. I decided to make it to go with some barbequeing with friends. It […]
Chocolate Coconut “Fudge”
News: it’s still summer. It’s still hot. I still can’t really be bothered to cook anything. Still requiring appropriate summerwear, so I made another Sorbetto crossover variation, and updated the blog post with a bit more info on how I did it. It got positive comments! Both at work and at the pub: Successful I […]
Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies
Really, it’s too hot to be spending any large amount of time in the kitchen with the oven on… But, I am way overdue taking in my birthday cakes, so I thought I would use up the remains of the peanut butter I bought to make the quadruple layer Peanut Butter and Salted Caramel Billionaire’s […]
Mocha Tarts
Man this week has been a busy one! So busy in fact that I have had no time to write this little post about something I made for last weekend! (The cushion post I scheduled a while back, but didn’t want to post it until after we had given them away!) It was Mr M’s […]
Busy week!
You might have imagined from my lack of posting that I have been not doing a lot. That would be incorrect. It has been a very busy week indeed! The Rhubarb cordial I made at the beginning of the week formed part of a little breaktime treat on Tuesday. As we are now civil servants, there is […]
Isa’s Quinoa Puttanesca
An unfortunate side effect of a 3 and a half week holiday is, well…… not doing any of the walking, or metafit, or anything I usually do, consuming more than even my usual amount of doughnuts, icecream, and other goodies….. my jeans are now somewhat tight. Erk. This is not only a “low calorie”, healthy […]
