Cherry Chocolate Bakewell Tart

Photography, Sweet — June 28, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Even with a British background, I hadn’t tried a Bakewell Tart. With a sweet shortcrust, sticky jam and a classic almond frangipane, it sounded delicious and seemed easy enough to try. The only question left was which jam flavour to layer beneath the frangipane. Almonds are the main inspiration in the tart, so I wanted to pair that as best I could. I had homemade jams in my pantry, but of course, for...

Saucer Peaches

…And here I thought they were aptly named after their small tea cup size but noooo. It’s the “Saturn” sticker that finally gave it away. Awhhhhaa! Still juicy,  sweet and and an oh so perfect size for snacking.

In Awe Of Asparagus.

Between redesigns and volunteering I was beginning to think I wouldn’t get the chance to create this month’s Daring Baker challenge. As I searched for time and innovation, I was left with nothing. No rum, no raisin, not even a cooking apple in the house to play into this month’s strudel...

Lasagne of Emilia-Romagna: March Daring Bakers

Aren’t we lucky? Mmmmm. Lasagne for a Daring Bakers Challenge?? Um, thank you!! I’ve made lasagne, I’ve even made pasta before but, as all of the Daring Bakers challenges, I try to follow the recipe given. …And  I did, until I got to the ragu. The veal and pork is out in this...

February Daring Baker’s: Flourless Chocolate Torte

I’ve been starting to think the monthly Daring Baker’s choices were pretty serendipitous. From the Perfect Party Cake for my birthday right up to this month’s Valentino Cake. The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.  We have...

Going Nuts

Actually, I’m not all that bad. I feel quite great really. For the first few days on the other hand, I was hungry. All. Of. The Time. I’m getting over it, but when it’s already tough to figure out what to eat, snacking is even worse.  When I stopped to consider what I’d usually...

Figuring Out What To Eat

It’s not like finding something to eat has ever been a problem before. However, I’m finding it out now, more than ever since starting the Detox of ‘09 that it’s just far too easy just to reach for a bag of pasta or a potato when setting in on the evening rush to the dinner table. In...

Detox

Not even because it’s January, well maybe because it is… A detox, a cleanse, a rebalancing, what ever you choose to call it, has been in order for some time. Every one could probably use one and it really wasn’t the Holidays that instigated it, it was the lack of them. I’ve been...

Classic French Yule Log

This month’s challenge is brought to us by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux. They have chosen a French Yule Log by Flore from Florilege Gourmand. Now I love a good challenge, that’s why I joined the Daring Bakers. Of course...
