My father in law has Coeliac Disease, and so cake was always a bit of a hit and miss affair, until ma in law made these little cakes. It’s such a versatile recipe. You can make small ones, one large sheet cake, or bake it in sandwich tins. I’ve used all kinds of chocolate and …
Financiers
I’ve had a hankering to make small, almondy cakes for a while now. I remembered reading that Chloe had made Friands, and they looked so fabulous, that I think they’ve been in my brain ever since, so when I happened across a recipe for Financiers, I had to make them. That’s a very good site, …
Tahini Cake
Yes, that’s right. Tahini cake. Tahini isn’t just for savoury things. It also makes the most delicious sweet things. After all, you can have sesame ice cream in Japan, and mochi rice sweets with a sesame filling, yes? Sesame is one of those things, like cinnamon, which is neither sweet nor savoury, despite the thought …
Turkish Breakfast Rolls – acma
I love bread. Almost all bread. But there is a special place in my heart for sweet, tender, yeasted doughs that yield to the knife with just the merest hint of resistance and accept the butter graciously.Turkish breakfast rolls are one such bread. I love them, I wanted to make them, and I found a …
Easy Hollandaise with Wild Garlic
Every so often I get to London Bridge very early before work, and I simply can’t resist heading in to explore Borough Market before getting the bus to Aldwych. It starts the day off nicely, and I also get to catch up with some of the traders. I am honestly never happier than when I …
Turkish Spinach Cake
Yes. Spinach. Now, before you go “Ugh!” or roll your eyes, just remember back to when carrot cake was seen as something weird and possibly icky. Cakes made with vegetables are really not new, and they can be incredibly tasty. Chocolate and beetroot, parsnip and walnut, courgette bread, sweet potato brownies and, of course, the …
A First – Plain Scone Round
DISCLAIMER: It’s MY scone, so I do it MY way. Jam or cream, they go on the way that I see fit. Ner. You all can argue about the right and wrong, I’ll be eating my scone. Anyway. I’ve never made scones. There. I’ve said it. I hate rubbing the fat into the flour, as …
French-ish Onion Soup with Cheese Sprinkles
Lordy I just have to write this recipe down before I forget it. I wanted soup. I’d baked a lot today, and didn't want anything heavy for dinner so soup seemed ideal. I just seem to have a thing lately for clear, hot stocks. Nothing claggy, no roux, just stock with interesting things in. This …

Mutton, Spinach and Coconut Curry
I made this on Monday, and gave it a good four hours of cooking time. I will definitely be using mutton on the bone again. To be honest, you could make this without the mutton, and just use a vegetable stock cube. I'd probably add in chick peas if I did that.1.5 kilos cubed mutton, …
Rose and Cinnamon Tea Bread
I saw a post today by The Ginger Gourmand that got me all inspired. Tea loaf. TEA. I love tea, me. http://www.thegingergourmand.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/earl-grey-fruit-loaf-with-lemon.html I’m not a huge Earl Grey fan, and I didn’t have any, but what I did have was Twining's Rose Garden tea. That’ll do says I. So, as is my wont, the recipe …
