Book Review: My New Roots by Sarah Britton
I have a fairly large, and getting bigger, collection of books dedicated to natural and vegetarian cooking. Before selecting this book, I did a bit of research into what it would add to my library: Sarah Britton is the lady behind My New Roots, a blog, recipe site, and now book dedicated to what she calls “all-inclusive” […]
Fiery Cinder Toffee (with Chocolate and Ginger Cupcakes)
Today I contemplated the purchase of some sparklers. A little bit of low key fireworks to celebrate the 5th. However, the only place in Santa Clara County that you can buy fireworks is in Gilroy….. So I decided to do a bit of alternative celebration by making some delicious cinder toffee. Fiery Cinder Toffee Recipe […]
Apricot and Ginger Upside-down Cake
I am a collector. A collector of souvenirs. Some of my souvenirs are small, like fridge magnets and those little snowglobes, but I also collect recipe books. A whole load of recipe books. I have the more practical recipe books, like my beloved Delia, but my souvenir books tend to be a little on the […]
Coconut, Ginger, and Banana Pancakes.
Happy Pancake Day! …or Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, or whatever you call it. This day last year, we had everyone round to our house and whipped up a whole load of pancakes for everyone, in our annual Pancake Day Pancakeathon. This year is slightly different, as we don’t have oodles of people to […]
Banana, Chocolate and Ginger Softies
After seeing I think the 20th place, we have finally come to a decision on places to live. Hurrah! No more endlessly looking for places, touring around places…… It gets kinda dull after a while. One of our things we were looking for was lots of storage, and a nice big kitchen for me to […]
Lemon and Ginger Baked Doughnuts.
I was starting to worry that my brain was atrophying from lack of use. It’s been a month today since my last day at work, and since then I haven’t really done anything science related, and I worry that I will forget it all! Thankfully, as part of the welcome package our relocation agency gave […]
Great British Bake Off Week 6: Mango, Coconut, Ginger, and Mint Tea Loaf
Can you tell I’m trying to use up some of the random ingredients from my cupboards? I have made regular tea loaf cake before, and it’s a much underrated baked good I think, so simple to put together, but of course requiring a bit of forward planning to soak your fruit overnight….and yeah, technically it isn’t […]
An Indian Burrito: Chapati filled with curry and rice.
Last weekend when my Mum was here, I took the opportunity to try out a couple of recipes from a fairly new book that I hadn’t quite got around to trying yet. The book is Prashad by Kaushy Patel, and it was another book that The Book People had brought into work. I wasn’t planning […]
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 […]
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?
