When it comes to children’s birthday parties, there’s nothing more entertaining than a giant piñata! This year, as a friend and I joined forces for a combined 4rth birthday bash for our daughters, the piñata had to withstand not only hordes of kids, but also an equally eager gaggle of parents who wanted a go. Fortunately…
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…
It’s rhubarb season! When I saw Vasun’s delicious rhubarb and coconut crumble on Cupcakesncurries, I knew I had to get my first fix of the season! Little did I know that it would take 3 attempts to get the cake onto this post in one piece … The tartness and acidity of the rhubarb needs to…
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…
The last week has been a right nightmare – so much so that I simply dropped off my bottle of pisco at last week’s Fiesta Friday anniversary, nodded once around the room and headed off. To look after sick children, sort out work stuff and to try and catch up on lost sleep. Unsuccessfully, I…
The end of the school year means a lot of thank yous – to my colleagues in the department as well as to the countless colleagues all over the school who have helped me (and my students!) to get through the year in one piece. Unfortunately, writing cards does not come naturally to me. I usually…
That Uruguayans like meat is well known, not just since this World Cup; lesser known is the fact that they have quite a sweet tooth, as the dessert ‘Chajá‘ demonstrates: invented in 1927 by an Uruguayan pastry chef, it consists of layers of sponge, meringue, whipped cream, apricots and – sometimes – dulce de leche,…
Strawberry season is our second favourite season, topped only by Christmas. We grow them in all shapes and forms, but thanks to our in-house foraging squad we never seem to have enough to bake or make anything with them. Fortunately there are supermarkets, and although it is hard to resist a nicely-presented punnet in mid-November for…
Having been asked to provide cupcakes for kids at a wedding, I found myself in new territory as I had never made cupcakes before. The reason for this is twofold: on the one hand, I have always felt that cupcakes were a clear example of form over matter: they look great, and nobody really cares what they…
This is one of the simplest and easiest strawberry cake recipes I know, and also one of most delicious ones! The roulade is light and fluffy without any baking powder, but you will be left with four egg whites – a perfect excuse to whip up a few meringues for an Eton Mess… 4 egg whites…
