OK this must come with a health warning! It is absolutely the sweetest thing that has ever been made in the Barking Baking kitchen. My HUGE thanks to Ronald for introducing me to this traditional sweet treat from the Philippines. He assures me that if in doubt, add sugar. Sounds good to me! This is very easy to do and absolutely incredible. Try it.  Last Sunday Elena and I went to the Durham Christmas Market. We bought the most amazing sausages from The Northumberland Sausage Company. They made this pasta bake soooo good! Thoroughly recommend them or indeed any slightly funky sausage!  Elena suggested this. I thought she knew what she was doing. It transpires she has never made it before. Neither have I. So I actually don't know if this is egg nog. However, I do know that it tasted great - a lovely winter drink! Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.  OK. It's December. It's Christmas. We have to have mince pies. This is a really easy recipe - originally a Paul Hollywood but I have added a bit more sugar. Give it a go. Rob, Elena and I made these and they are fantastic! Check out the video below!   This is so healthy it is unreal. Literally nothing wrong with it. Tastes delicious too! Very easy to do. Don't be intimidated by butternut squash either - remember to peel it. This was inspired by one of Jamie Oliver's recipes - he puts a lot more stuff in it but this tasted great so I really wouldn't worry about it! Not going to lie I found this hard to photografy (that is my new word - pronounced: fot-og-raf-i) but I can assure you it was fab.  I think it is generally accepted that Bagels are the best type of bread. Nothing beats them. For Ultimate Frisbee players, to bagel another team is the greatest display of superiority. To the rest of the population, they are just great for brunch or a cheeky snack at 3pm in the afternoon. However, this blows anything you have done with a bagel out of the water. It is stunning. A kind of bagel pudding. It is crunchy on the outside, moist in the middle. Absolutely gorgeous. And at the time of writing, they are on offer in Tesco! Such fun!  Nothing like a good apple tart on a cold December day. Furiously procrastinating right now. This tastes great and is actually dead simple to do. Not that bad for you either as it is mostly apple #oneofyourfiveaday #dubious Give it a go!  Another slightly adapted Crumbs recipe - as ever very nice! Good light lunch or supper. Give it a shot! Elena tried it the other day and said it was good. Crumbs reckon it only takes 10 minutes but we both found it takes more like 15-20, depending on how you like your egg. I realise I have not excelled myself with the photo below but this does TASTE great.  This recipe was taken from Jamie Oliver's website but was actually done by a lady named Maddie Rix. It is amazing! I have always been a little hesitant to leave out flour - it is such a staple that it just seems wrong to have it loiter in the cupboard. However, this has changed my views. Get on it. It is cheap and tastes a bit like brownie (i.e. fab). We've affectionately nicknamed it "cowpat cake" because it looks like one...as a result it is pretty difficult to present nicely. But it does taste gorgeous.  Now it is December (and basically Christmas) I find myself yearning cake. This smells particularly gorgeous. There is something deeply satisfying about this cake - it is sticky and sweet, yet surprisingly light... #ListenToMe #Arty I did not have time/was too lazy to peel the apple; from a purely aesthetic point of view I would peel them if you have time!  This was a fantastic evening. Elena and Venus cooked the turkey. Ronald and David made the best mashed potato ever, and Lawson Terrace (our house) made Apple Pie and Double-Decker Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding (posting soon!). It was just a superb night. Thanks to Venus for the picture below.  This was part of our pudding for the grand Thanksgiving meal! It was really good. Not going to lie I had planned on making the pastry but lectures finished late and so I did not have time. This uses ready roll puff pastry and it is divine.  |
