Last week’s food headlines proclaimed that the Mediterranean diet, according to an American study, may slow the aging process of our brains considerably. How fortunate for me that I had just purchased a kitchen gadget that would ensure my following of that particular diet: a churros press.Similar to donuts, churros are deep-fat fried and covered…
If you have an apple tree, chances are you are currently desperately offloading apples to friends and family, as well as to innocent bystanders. If you’re in such a fortunate position, steamed apples might be the answer to your apple glut: easy to make, simple to preserve, and incredibly low-maintenance to store: by sterilising the…
This dish doesn’t need much by way of an introduction: the intensely sweet combination of sugar, pistachios and crisp filo pastry speaks for itself. As it takes a few hours to seep through, making it perfect for a party, such as Fiesta Friday! Every Friday lots of bloggers join the fun, linking up their recipes or…
This popular traybake is so wrong, and on so many levels, that it simply has to be right. It has everything you’d expect from a cake: it’s pretty, delicious and it contains every ingredient you’ve ever been warned about. And in double quantities. Its German name is ‘Waves of the Danube’, probably because of the beautiful…
When the email arrived in my inbox last year asking me if I wanted to take part in a cookery show, my first response was a snigger. For a start, this had to be a joke; I don’t really watch much TV, never mind cookery shows, so I was ready to dismiss the whole thing…
Some of you might remember the cranachan-inspired cupcakes I made for I made for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. They called for recipes for whisky-based cupcake recipes for a baking competition, a challenge I could hardly resist! Anyway, I was very excited to hear that my entry had been chosen, together with four others, to be baked during…
Strawberries are back in the shops, and although I know it is far too early, it is still tempting to buy a punnet, especially if they are on offer. They are rarely ripe enough to be eaten on the spot, but they’ll make a delicious topping for a tarte like the one Linda brought along…
When I stumbled over Selina’s poppyseed-filled dumplings on her delicious blog Krümelkreationen the other day, I knew I had to give them a go: lightly sweetened yeast dumplings, filled with ground poppy seeds and drowned in custard … my idea of paradise. You might have noticed that I have a soft spot for Austrian food,…
Today it’s been officially one year since my first post – 365 days of checking for comments, deciding on 176 recipes and working hard to create pictures that do justice to the dish … a steep learning curve is all I can say! It’s been a wonderful year, especially thanks to all of you who inspire me…
This week’s task has been to visit the German embassy in order to get a new passport. And going to the embassy fills me with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. The dread is easily explained by the number of forms I have to fill in, the need for documents I mislaid but now need to…
