Apple & Pistachio Danish Braid

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

For the first time I read the new recipe for the month of The Daring Bakers, I got excited. No fancy schmancy cakes with lots of layers and different fillings or bizarre frozen cheesecake lollies. No, this challenge’s end result I was actually keen to eat. Unfortunately, it had to wait a while because we […]

Crunchy Rough Scottish Oatcakes

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

A while back I decided to cut wheat from my diet for a whole year. One of the first things I did was stock up on oatcakes. They do make life a little bit easier and you can still enjoy your favourite toppings like Smoked Salmon Pâté or cheese on them. When Gabriel started eating […]

White Opéra Cake with Lemon Butter Cream, White Chocolate Mousse & Almonds

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Little Gabriel loves these muffins, even though he has no molars to […]

Chocolate & Pistachio Brownies

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Brownies as they should be: moist, soft and squidgy on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. Shop-bought and other recipes I’ve tried but these brownies are by far my favourite. This recipe is foolproof; never have I had a disaster with this one. Many would agree that chocolate is the ultimate comfort food. […]

Nigella’s Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cake

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Back in late March Neil’s 50th birthday (oops, I said it) was coming up and I asked him what he would like as a special meal. Chocolate cake was one of the requests. (Neil is a self-confessed chocoholic and his excuse is he’s in touch with his feminine side.) He regressed by telling me on […]
