Why not fill cupcakes, while you’re at it? Somehow I can’t resist punching a hole into the golden surface of the sponge, in order to add just a little extra – marmalade, chocolates, whisky-infused oats, you name it. Perhaps all those piñatas have gone to my head a little, but when it came to making…
Autumn has arrived in England – we know this because it’s suddenly sunny and warm outside, unlike in Summer, when it was rainy and miserable for most of the time. Autumn means shorter days, giant spider webs, yellowing leaves and, for me at last, a change in my daily breakfast routine. Whereas in the summer…
Making friends across the globe has been one of the many pleasures of taking part in Angie’s Fiesta Friday events, friends who inspire me to try out new things – I even went as far as cooking for Elaine of Foodbod fame! Imagine! – as well as learning from them how to do things better.…
The first time I ate raw seafood was when I was around 8 or 9: sitting on a rock off the Greek coast, my new-found friends showed me how to pick sea-urchins, pull them of the ground, knock them against the rock to open them and suck the insides out, on the spot. Needless to…
A few weeks ago we had a very special Fiesta Friday: following an invitation by the wonderful Selma, a few of us regulars met up in a beautiful setting just off Regent Street, for a bit of non-virtual fun. I was incredibly excited to meet so many of you in the flesh – reading your blogs,…
Since I started this blog, my partner has been threatening to set up a blog with the name TheTruthBehindGinger&Bread.com, documenting the mess I make and the chaos that follows in the wake of each post. Being very neat and tidy, any mess upsets him; but a mess that is not tidied up immediately, for example because…
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…
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…
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…
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…
