cake

I made this pretty moist and delicious bundt cake this afternoon. It came out of the oven around 4.30 pm, then had to cool and by the time I wanted to take a photo there was no light left whatsoever. That meant having to wait either until the next day or find an alternative solution. [...]

Isn’t it funny how certain foods can transport you right back into your childhood? When I was a little kid I already loved to bake, but we never really got much further then the standard (but tasty!) apple pie and this Arretje Nof.. Now as far as I have been able to tell, this is [...]

Delicious and moist

Do you have certain ingredients that you simply cannot resist? The type of ingredient you see in the markets or supermarket and just HAVE to have? I’m pretty terrible when it comes to things like that, so I tend to end up in a lot of cases with ingredients that have no immediate need or [...]

orange and poppyseed bundt cake

As soon as I open our stock pantry I feel like closing the door right back again. There is so much junk in there that it scares me to start organizing. Going through the contents however I do find a large jar of poppy seed… Remember I told you I would probably have to give [...]

There are those things that you can almost predict will go wrong. As I had told you when announcing the Donna Hay Challenge nr. 2, I didn’t have time to make the challenge recipe prior to the actual challenge so I had to do it still, just like the rest of you and then shoot [...]

Did you know that the task of filling the black box with meaningful contents is actually underrated? It’s almost as difficult, if not more difficult, to decide what to put in as it is to make something out of it! For those who do not know… the Black Box is some kind of mystery box [...]

It’s been quite a rollercoaster week this week. Due to the passing of my mother in law we’ve not been home much, going between my father in laws house and our house. We stayed there for dinner most of the days. To begin with there are so many things to arrange for a funeral that [...]

When I went out for grocery shopping the other day I “bumped” into plums. Now I know it is not the season for plums yet so in terms of sustainability and all that I should have left them but they were smiling at me!! And who am I to disappoint those delicious looking plums when [...]

You had to wait for a while but here… finally… can you see the result of our combined efforts in producing the delicious passionfruitmousse (which turned out to be tropical mixture fruit instead but that’s a minor detail) pie… Last sunday we had our third lesson with Carle and as it turned out the fruits [...]
