Coffee and Comics

15 April 2010

I love creating the perfect birthday cakes for family and friends; whether it’s making their favourite flavour or a “novelty” cake tied into their interest, it’s all great fun.  This year I attempted both for Dave’s birthday… Our weekends often revolve around ...

Rib-eye steak with Chimichurri

21 January 2010

In our house, steak and chips is an irresistible treat and the ultimate in “cheery-uppy” dinners after a hard day at work.  When Dave came home after a thoroughly rubbish day I immediately abandoned my plans for a virtuous (yet delicious!) stir-fry and pulled a couple of beautifully ...

Ten in Ten: Week 3

17 January 2010

This week I have lost four pounds.  I’m really pleased with that, but that’ll be my last big loss for quite a while, I think.  You see, on Phase One of South Beach, you’re essentially doing a detox.  Most of the weight I’ve lost is water weight but I’m pretty sure ...

10 in 10: Week Two!

12 January 2010

First, the good.  I have lost 7 pounds this week, courtesy of Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet getting rid of lots of water retention and maybe a pound or two of fat.  Hooray!  So I’ve lost all my holiday gain in one fell swoop, which is awesome. This week I have been eating Kaylan’s ...

Ten in Ten: Week One

02 January 2010

Hellooooooo, 2010!  And hello, new diet! This year I’m participating in RecipeGirl’s “10 in 10″ challenge—ten weeks of healthy living to start the year off right.  Last year I did really well on the South Beach Diet until I got derailed by a spate of birthdays and ...

The December 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi. They chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch. They chose recipes from Good Housekeeping and from The Great Scandinavian Baking ...

Merry Christmas! I hope that each and every one of you, my readers, has a wonderful day.  Whether you’re celebrating with friends, family, or by yourself, may it be full of joy, fun, laughter, great presents and amazing food! This gloriously festive stollen comes from the Christmas issue of ...

Sparkling Snowflake Cake

23 December 2009

This sparkling snowflake cake was my contribution to the Christmas Raffle at Lucas’s pre-school.  I was asked if I knew anyone who could make cakes, and without a shred of modesty I said, “That would be me!”  So having bigged myself up, I felt that I needed to make an ...

Nutella Tart

17 December 2009

Few things make me happier than being asked to bring dessert for a party or gathering.  It’s an opportunity to pull armfuls of cookbooks off the shelf (and we all know how much I love my cookbooks, right?)  I pore over them, meeting recipes that I have somehow missed on my first ...

Christmas Pudding Cake

28 November 2009

“Hope you don’t mind… but I’ve… um… volunteered you to make a cake,” my friend Caz said. It turned out that Caz had managed to draw the short straw of organising the “Guess the weight of the cake” competition for her school PTA Christmas Fair, ...
