Seeking perfection? or just a change?

I hope you don’t mind hearing more about my oat cakes. It was time to make some more and this time I thought I would experiment with a couple of changes. The two changes I had in mind was to grind up some of the oats a little less finely and to add baking powder.… Read More Seeking perfection? or just a change?

Making Oatcakes

Not sure how easy it would be to get my favourite sort of oatcakes and having plenty of oats I decided to try and make my own. I actually made them at the same time as I made the Hot Cross Buns as they needed the same temperature for about the same amount of time.… Read More Making Oatcakes

Good Friday

Wishing you a Blessed Good Friday. I include a poem that I think is very old therefore hopefully not in copyright. O King of the Friday Whose limbs were stretched on the cross, O Lord who did suffer The bruises, the wounds, the loss, We stretch ourselves Beneath the shield of thy might, Some fruit… Read More Good Friday

Cranberry sauce recipe

I have just made this and taken photographs quickly with flash. The recipe is mainly for my niece but I thought anyone might be interested. It is my own personal combination from a variety of recipes as I like the addition of the orange and cinnamon flavours. Here is a copy of my recipe card.… Read More Cranberry sauce recipe

Strawberry cake

Now that recipe I mentioned last Monday. In my recipe book it is called ‘Danish’ strawberry cake but as it is a ‘Cordon Bleu’ cookbook I don’t know how authentically Danish it is. As we were going to be five for lunch that day, I decided that I needed to make double quantities as I… Read More Strawberry cake

Oat Bread recipe

Last weekend I decided to try making some oat bread. I thought I would share the recipe with you. This is how I made it, slightly modified from the book I got it from, though I have given the full quantities not the half amounts that I used. You start with 8oz wholemeal bread flour,… Read More Oat Bread recipe

Making marzipan fruits and Christmas baking

One thing I like to do when the occasion arises is to make marzipan fruit. I don’t think I learnt to make these either from my mother or school; I think it must have been a book or leaflet. For those of you who have never tried this is what you need. Some marzipan, of… Read More Making marzipan fruits and Christmas baking

Not quite a recipe!

First a little story. I am very fond of the flowers of the Japanese quince (Chaenomeles), I had one in the last house, so when I moved here I planted one in the garden. However a few years ago it became infested with a pest that covered it in fine cobwebs and which died down… Read More Not quite a recipe!

February Montage

In February I shared some knitting, crochet and a recipe plus a couple of photographs. The light has not always been good for photographs this month. For knitting I showed you my first attempt at a new way of knitting a short row heel with a chart and link in case anyone else wanted to… Read More February Montage

Another tea-time treat

When I was a child chain-letters were very popular but having had the process explained to me I never had anything to do with them except for once when my mother was the recipient of a recipe chain-letter. We decided that you couldn’t go far wrong with that and took a chance. In the event… Read More Another tea-time treat
