Do Something Different - Meat Free Mondays
30 January 2012
So we're nearly into February and I'm not doing too bad a job of keeping my New Year's Resolution of being more organised : ) I bring this up because I've been reading the Flylady book (readers from across the pond may know who I'm talking about), and have been trying a couple of the things from ...
Julia Child's Reine De Saba (Chocolate And Almond Cake)
18 January 2012
Reine de Saba is the moist and fudgy chocolate and almond cake that stars in Julie and Julia. I decided to bake this cake when I had some leftover chocolate buttercream that needed using up. I'd started to mix the cake batter when I realised that the 'Tidy Fairy' had thrown away my buttercream... ...
Larger-Than-Life, Chunky-Bulky Bittersweet Chocolate Praline Cookies
11 January 2012
Happy New Year! Seems a bit daft saying it now, feels like ages ago! Well I've started the year with the best of intentions and (as always!) my New Year's resolution is to be more organised and hopefully free up some time to blog more. Feeling really inspired by the great foodie programs on telly ...
Tasting The New Menu At ASK Italian
28 November 2011
Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited up to ASK Italian in Spring Street, London to sample their newly revamped menu. All 123 of their restaurants are currently undergoing complete transformation in order to bring a 'fresh, bold and authentic dining experience to the high street.' The ...
Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake
18 November 2011
Ever do something that seemed like a really good idea at the time but in hindsight was probably best left well alone?! Well readers, allow me to introduce to you the Martha Stewart Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake... Our local newsagents has started selling Martha Stewart Living magazine and I picked ...
Vanilla Whoopie Pies
14 November 2011
For those of you that don't know, A whoopie pie is apparently 'not quite a sandwich cookie, not quite a cake'. They seem to have become incredibly trendy recently, popping up in supermarkets everywhere and already there are boxed cake mixes to make them. I find them quite intriguing, whoopie pies ...
Caramelised Banana Bread & Butter Pudding With Toasted Pecans
04 October 2011
There's nothing I love more than making a fabulous dish out of what would otherwise be odds and ends destined for the bin. This recipe, from Lorraine Pascale's Home Cooking Made Easy, has fast become my favourite for using up blackened bananas. It's a scrummy alternative to the usual banana bread ...
Spanish... Erm Well Quiche?!
05 July 2011
I'm not entirely sure where the inspiration for this came from, I think it's all this sunshine and the fact that I'm craving a holiday! For the moment it's only my cooking that seems to be transporting me to far flung places : ( I was originally going to make a Quiche Lorraine as I had a block of ...
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream!
04 July 2011
As promised here is the recipe for Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Superfudge Brownie Ice Cream : ) For some reason it didn't turn out quite as well as the first batch of chocolate ice cream I made, it wasn't quite as smooth, but was still delicious! I added chunks of white chocolate to jazz it up a ...
Ben & Jerry's Superfudge Brownies
27 June 2011
After making these I remembered why I don't make brownies more often... So addictive! I'm a bit of a brownie perfectionist, in my eyes the perfect brownie has to have just the right amount of squidge and these most certainly have that, along with a slightly crisp top, Yum! This recipe is from the ...
