On farm classes
Er, am I allowed to say things like that?! I'm not blowing my own trumpet. I didn't create this recipe, just tinkered with it a bit. It's Australia Day here tomorrow and while my mind is wandering to Lamingtons and Pavlova, here's one I made before the move which DAMN […]
I'm sure it's around here somewhere. Hello? … Mojo? Dammit I need it. And totally do not have it. Right when it's all systems go, I seem to have hit the wall. Which could have something to do with about four weeks of religiously interrupted sleep (not just the six […]
Ah well. When it falls apart it kind of makes sense for it to all fall apart. I have a pretty solid habit of leaving things to the last minute. Er, make that everything. I know better. I do. I just never learn. Here's what happened yesterday. Yesterday was Henry's […]
So we have a bit of yoghurt here – I've kinda gotten into making it in a big way. Once you get the hang of it it's dead easy and makes itself, mostly. Culture and all that. Anyway, we were out of icecream so I thought – wonder what happens if […]
Hi! Can't chat, am actually working tonight (for Amazon book money!) so better get back to the numbers and thought I'd leave you with a snack. Morning tea (or afternoon). Fresh scones with butter and jam. Does it get any better? I think this recipe may be my Nan's. Or […]
It's rare for me to seek out a gluten-free recipe. I am a dedicated full wheat bread baker (and eater.) Pasta, too. And pizza. You could in fact call me Fiona Gluten Walmsley. I'm baking for a school cake stall this weekend though, and apparently the gluten-free options are big sellers. […]
So, do you want to know that you can make kick arse caramel with stuff already in your pantry?! Butter, sugar, milk? If this sounds just too damn dangerous, exit now. Right. It started like this. I wander around the supermarket shunning bad food. No, not buying chocolate. No, not […]
What's delicious around here at the moment: :: School holiday mornings! No rushing, no "come ON get your shoes on!", no "PUT THAT AWAY WE HAVE TO GO!"; rather, a bit of lego, a cup of tea, a nice slow start, and if you're lucky a bit of a sleep […]
Some people cook with a recipe most of the time. Some people never use recipes and just wing it. I have to admit to supreme dorkdom: I memorize recipes. Always have. I carry quite a lot around in my noggin, most of them very basic, Country Women's Association-type recipes. This […]
Here is the recipe I promised yesterday. It's a minor variation on the good old butter cake, but the yoghurt makes it so moist and light and the passionfruit flavour is delicious. They really don't need icing but a cream cheese icing or lemon icing does nicely too! INGREDIENTS 125g […]
