Apple Anniversary Bowl

A year ago I was bridesmaid for one of my close friends. They got married on an old cider farm in Somerset, and were coming out to California for a visit for their one year Anniversary. I was looking for something nice for a gift, and came across a no longer available item on Etsy. […]

Crunchy Curried Egg Salad

The time has come where I need to start making my own food again, as I am no longer being fed for free three times a day, and needing some nice quick tasty lunches! I decided to try out a new book, which I had received from my brother for my birthday, written by the authors […]

Scotch Pancakes with Rhubarb, Apple and Ginger Compote

This morning, I woke up, did a bit more of my sewing, went and fed my friend’s cats… then on the way home starting feeling a bit peckish. I could have had some boring cereal, but this morning, I felt the urge for pancakes. Not regular english pancakes, something a little more Scottish. A quick […]

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 […]

Irish Potato Apple Cake

Irish cooking. Full of potatoes right? Well this is a recipe to live up to stereotypes! I went to Dublin the weekend before last, and if you go away, of course you have to bring stuff into work. However the joy of Ryanair baggage allowance meant that we didn’t actually bring anything back from Ireland, […]

Paul Hollywood’s Cheddar and Apple Sourdough. (and a cheese and pickle variation)

Since I got my sourdough starter (Pauline) in July, I have made quite a few loaves. Some have been good, some not so good, some got welded to the surface of the baking stone because I was too impatient to wait for it to properly come up to temperature…………. However, all have been just the […]

Baking with Herman: take 7 – Banoffee Herman.

This post was a bit delayed I’m afraid, this week has been super hectic. It is also going to be the last Herman post for a while, I’ve ran out of inspiration temporarily, and want the freedom to explore making other things. I have enjoyed playing with the Herman recipe, and it has given me […]

Applesauce Softies

Over the weekend (while making Hermans), my kitchen slave (thanks Mum) chopped up lots of lovely apple into little bitty bits for the cakes. I had some leftover, so made it into applesauce with a view to making these lovelies that I had earmarked for making. P.S. my method of choice is chopped up apple, […]

Baking with Herman: take 6 – Carrot, Orange, Cinnamon and Raisin, Apple, Cinnamon and Oat, and Apple, Rosemary and Orange

Baking with Herman: take 3 – Almond, Apple, and Blackberry.

I actually gave away some Herman this time around, and made two carrot cakes (from the previous Herman post) as they were amazingly tasty, I upped the ground ginger in the second one and it came out lovely and fiery. I did then realise that my next bake day was this weekend, when I had […]
