Almond Thumbprint Cookies
My baking mojo has been lacking lately. I think this is part because I have been: a)busy; b) trying not to eat as much; and c) disappointed with the results because of my crappy crappy oven. #firstworldproblems Anyway, yesterday I felt the urge to bake, and also wanted to use up some of the random […]
Baking for guests: Gluten-Free Banana (and Chocolate Chip) Cake.
This weekend I had the last of our visitors for a while, two of our awesome friends from Bristol, one of whom I used to work with, and who we had a reciprocal cat-sitting arrangement with. I think they were just as excited (if not more so) to see our cats as they were to […]
Cherries and Cherry and Almond Pie
Each time we drive to Tahoe, we go past all these fruit stands by the side of the road. The benefits of living in Northern California I guess! GIVE ME TASTY FRUIT! Anyhow, this time around on the way back we actually stopped off and bought some stuff from the Dixon Fruit Market. Oh. My. […]
Double Chocolate and Coconut Chunk “Icecream”
It feels weird calling this icecream when it doesn’t involve any cream. It’s more like Chocolate and Coconut frozen coconut milk dessert with chunks of chocolate and coconut. But that doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue now does it? The desire to make icecream, and the subsequent creation of this dish of joy arose from […]
Chickpea and Spinach Pie
My old job was located right in Bristol city centre. Close proximity to all kinds of tasty foodstuffs, including the joy of Pieminister Mothership Tuesdays, Pippin doughnut Fridays, and a little place called Royce Rolls, which was just inside St Nick’s Market, and sold super tasty flapjacks sarnies and bits of pastry. This is my […]
Coconut, Ginger, and Banana Pancakes.
Happy Pancake Day! …or Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, or whatever you call it. This day last year, we had everyone round to our house and whipped up a whole load of pancakes for everyone, in our annual Pancake Day Pancakeathon. This year is slightly different, as we don’t have oodles of people to […]
Banana, Chocolate and Ginger Softies
After seeing I think the 20th place, we have finally come to a decision on places to live. Hurrah! No more endlessly looking for places, touring around places…… It gets kinda dull after a while. One of our things we were looking for was lots of storage, and a nice big kitchen for me to […]
An Indian Burrito: Chapati filled with curry and rice.
Last weekend when my Mum was here, I took the opportunity to try out a couple of recipes from a fairly new book that I hadn’t quite got around to trying yet. The book is Prashad by Kaushy Patel, and it was another book that The Book People had brought into work. I wasn’t planning […]
Chocolate Coconut “Fudge”
News: it’s still summer. It’s still hot. I still can’t really be bothered to cook anything. Still requiring appropriate summerwear, so I made another Sorbetto crossover variation, and updated the blog post with a bit more info on how I did it. It got positive comments! Both at work and at the pub: Successful I […]
Hobnob day: Chocolate and Ginger, Cinnamon and Raisin, and Seedy Vegan.
It’s International Homemade Hobnob Celebration day! I spent the majority of the morning in bed reading my Kindle. The benefit (and indeed, the drawback) of the Kindle, is that when you finish one book in a series… you can just download the next one… until you run out of books of course. Eventually however, I […]
