Tiramisu
22 November 2011
It’s been a bit quiet round here lately, what with me moving house (twice) and Jo having a baby and moving house (once). I’m living in Rome now, in a rented flat, and it’s taken me a while to get used to not just a new kitchen, but also unfamiliar ingredients (for example, the ...
Date and banana wholesome cake
09 June 2011
So I was encouraged to add this even though I feel I’ve done many like it before but Dan said it always worth posting old favourites! I’ve been off the boil, so to speak, lately with general life things getting in the way and attempting to set up a business! I think both Dan and ...
Chocolate, almond, orange biscotti
22 May 2011
Moving house, so trying to use up as many oddments as possible. Got a huge tub of cocoa, odd flours, a load of ground almonds, a few flaked almonds and some foul orange and geranium chocolate. These were the result. Unless you really like icky geranium chocolate, I’d avoid it and use orange ...
More cookies
11 April 2011
I have a thing about peanut butter at the moment, and cookies! This is a standard cookie recipe but with peanut butter and banana, I used some dark muscovado sugar which made them rather rich but lovely. It’s essential that these cookies remain soft in the middle so 10 minutes seems to be the ...
Streusel cake
03 April 2011
This one’s from an old Katie Stewart recipe book my mum used a lot when I was growing up. It’s a cake we used to make a lot, but I’ve not eaten it for years. So we revisited it on my dad’s birthday a few days ago. We were hard at work shifting scalpings around ...
Star sandwiches
03 March 2011
Inspired by Dan’s biscuits and leftover ganache I made these with Ivy – she helped with the mixing and cutting. The chocolate with orange icing biscuit recipe is from my M&S chocolate box book (which they don’t seem to make anymore) but I added some nutmeg for a change. I had ...
Heart Cake
22 February 2011
I’m used to not receiving anything on Valentine’s Day so thought I’d make something for ‘him’ that we could all enjoy! In a way this cake it kind of sinister with it’s blood-red centre but it certainly has an impact! We’ll not dwell too long on the ...
A ginger cake
21 February 2011
Went for some old-school doily action with this one. The recipe is from Dan Lepard in the Guardian – his original version is called “Hemp and ginger cake“, but as I’ve got so many different types of flour, and am hoping to move house soon, I didn’t want to add hemp ...
White & dark blondies
08 February 2011
It was our nephew Ruben’s 1st birthday party at the weekend, His mum Riette made a huge amount of wonderful cakes and I contributed with some very sugary blondies for the adults and jam muffins (which I’ve made before but with cranberry). This recipe is from the More from Magnolia ...
Peanut butter chocolate sandwich biscuits
30 January 2011
Still had some ganache left over in the freezer from the wedding cake, so these seemed like a good idea. Very pleasant they are too. The biscuits are fairly crumbly when you bite them, and they use peanut butter, giving them a slight saltiness, which contrasts nicely with the richness of the ...
