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…
Not everybody is as excited about the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest as we are in my house. Do not mistake this competition for a ‘song contest’, because it isn’t. The truth is that the Eurovision is a thinly-veiled politically motivated popularity contest – in fact, you will pick up more about European history and geography in those two…
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…
After the excesses of the last weeks (cake! bun! more cake!) I thought I’d give you a break and preach sourdough instead. Especially as it is Real Bread Week, an annual celebration of real bread run by the charity Sustain. Their aim is to get people to take their bread more seriously, either by becoming…
The last couple of days have been incredibly busy – planning for and going away for and recovering from a May bank holiday weekend has never been easy. This year, especially with a halfway promising weather forecast, we decided to go to the coast: a caravan on Hayling Island, overlooking the Isle of Wight and…
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…
I got so cross at a comment in this month’s BBC Good Food magazine that I simply had to respond with a rant. Oh no, not again! some of you will think. And rightly so – after all, it’s my first time co-hosting Angie’s weekly Fiesta Friday party, and the last thing you need is…
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,…
