Yuzu Angel Food Cake

May 6, 2022Mar 24, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 6 Comments

I would love to experiment with fresh yuzu, but this is a citrus fruit we do not get here. There are always egg whites in my freezer so I used them to make this yuzu angel food cake with dried zest. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Yuzu Angel Food Cake ♥ I … Continue reading Yuzu Angel Food Cake

Orange And Almond Cake

Apr 25, 2022Mar 15, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

I love the method that Ellie Goulding has used for her Orange And Almond Cake. An entire orange is cooked until soft, and then used, peel and all. Zero wastage for a healthy sweet treat! Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Orange And Almond Cake ♥ About 15 years ago, my Doctor prescribed … Continue reading Orange And Almond Cake

Chocolate Fudge Cake

Apr 15, 2022Mar 7, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 5 Comments

The secret ingredient in this chocolate fudge cake is freshly made espresso. It added a richness of flavour and the cake stayed super moist for a week. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Chocolate Fudge Cake ♥ I use quite an expensive razor blade that for years was sold online at a 3-for-2 … Continue reading Chocolate Fudge Cake

Condensed Milk Rolls

Apr 1, 2022Feb 23, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 11 Comments

These condensed milk rolls are sweet and best suited to toppings that are super salty, or fiery from the heat of chilli. I took some west coast rock lobster, slathered in a Sriracha sauce, and made lobster rolls for dinner on Valentine's night. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Condensed Milk Rolls ♥ … Continue reading Condensed Milk Rolls

Bacon And Leek Quiche

Mar 14, 2022Feb 10, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

This bacon and leek quiche took several attempts to get it perfect. I wanted the leeks to be cooked and not squeaky when you bit into them. And the bacon had to offer some texture. To me, what makes this a must try dish is the addition of the cheese. Head straight on to the … Continue reading Bacon And Leek Quiche

Quiche Pastry

Mar 7, 2022Feb 7, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

James inspired me with his bacon and leek quiche and I set about making my own. This quiche pastry is a doddle to make and to me, the key is refrigerating it for long enough. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Quiche Pastry ♥ Having heard the term ‘ladies who lunch’ bandied about … Continue reading Quiche Pastry

Orange And Cranberry Shortbread

Feb 25, 2022Feb 2, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

These Orange And Cranberry Shortbread are not the traditional ones you find in Scotland. This flavour combination is amazing and I urge you to try them. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Orange And Cranberry Shortbread ♥ Living in Gordons Bay, we are quite used to gale force winds. At 34 - 40 … Continue reading Orange And Cranberry Shortbread

Roasted Plum Cake

Feb 18, 2022Jan 24, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 9 Comments

This roasted plum cake will stay moist for several days due to the natural juices that come from roasting the stone fruit. I may adjust the recipe slightly if I make it again, but that does not detract from how good it was. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Roasted Plum Cake ♥ … Continue reading Roasted Plum Cake

Vanilla Cookies

Jan 17, 2022Nov 30, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

Hannah came to bake with me and we made vanilla cookies. This is a simple recipe that works well for cutting out. You can add sprinkles etc. as a topping or change the flavour profile as detailed in the recipe. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Vanilla Cookies ♥ Never before has reading … Continue reading Vanilla Cookies

Mocha Tart

Dec 27, 2021Nov 29, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

It took me close on a year to remake this mocha tart. It had to be perfect before I could share it. The ganache is on the bitter side which I prefer. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Mocha Tart ♥ Last year I wanted to get the curtains for our dining room. … Continue reading Mocha Tart

Chocolate Bites

Dec 20, 2021Nov 29, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 22 Comments

These chocolate bites are a delicious choc chip cookie. Make them  gluten free by using gluten-free flour. Or lactose free by using dairy free chocolate. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Chocolate Bites ♥ Yesterday I had a good chuckle. A woman drove into our private parking and attempted to park her car … Continue reading Chocolate Bites

Vanilla Pastry

Dec 13, 2021Dec 14, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

I first made a mocha tart using this vanilla pastry on the 8th of February. I was not happy with the original mocha ganache so I decided to make it again. That did not happen until last week, 10 months later! Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Vanilla Pastry ♥ Dave and I … Continue reading Vanilla Pastry

Liquorice Biscuits

Dec 3, 2021Nov 11, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 7 Comments

I used liquorice powder to make these liquorice biscuits but do not worry if you don't have any. The flavour is easily replicated using fennel seeds. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Liquorice Biscuits ♥ *Screeeech* That is the sound of the brakes being deployed in my life. I had a plan to … Continue reading Liquorice Biscuits

Cheese Muffins With Piquantè Cream Cheese

Nov 29, 2021Nov 11, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 13 Comments

The recipe called for 1 teaspoon of the mixture to be used for each of the cheese muffins which did not make sense to me. I used slightly more and still ended up with 21 small muffins. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Cheese Muffins ♥ 16 years, 8 months and 2 weeks … Continue reading Cheese Muffins With Piquantè Cream Cheese

Cocoa And Almond Meringues

Nov 19, 2021Nov 5, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 9 Comments

To make these Cocoa And Almond Meringues a little bit special I piped the meringue onto a turned over silicone mould. This created lovely meringue baskets which can be filled with anything you want. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Cocoa And Almond Meringues ♥ I really thought when I left the Cellular … Continue reading Cocoa And Almond Meringues

Curd Tart

Nov 15, 2021Nov 16, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 7 Comments

I love how simple a curd tart is to make. This one uses a mandarin curd but you can use any curd flavour you like.  Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Curd Tart ♥ So many things changed with regards to the pandemic from when I wrote about it, to when we travelled. … Continue reading Curd Tart

Orange Blossom Brownies

Nov 12, 2021Oct 14, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 21 Comments

When Ben from Havoc In The Kitchen posted a recipe for lavender brownies I thought they would be perfect for me. However, when I got home I decided to change the recipe completely and make orange blossom brownies. This used up the last of the cordials I had received as my Christmas gift from the … Continue reading Orange Blossom Brownies

Tart Pastry For Set Tarts

Nov 8, 2021Oct 12, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 5 Comments

Making tart pastry needs to be simple and easy. To me, a tart is about the shortness of the crust and the richness of the filling. I used my pastry for a curd tart. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Tart Pastry ♥ It used to be that getting a Visa was simple. … Continue reading Tart Pastry For Set Tarts

Chocolate And Tahini Banana Bread

Oct 27, 2021Oct 1, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

If you only bake one recipe from Nigella Lawson's latest recipe book then it has to be this chocolate and tahini banana bread. I used rather large chocolate chunks which I think made it ever so much better. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Chocolate And Tahini Banana Bread ♥ I wrote about … Continue reading Chocolate And Tahini Banana Bread

Lavender And Lime Drizzle Cake

Oct 18, 2021Sep 16, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 13 Comments

Whenever I can, I create recipes bespoke for my blog. This lavender and lime drizzle cake came about quite by chance. I had a gift of lavender cordial that I was not too sure what to do with. And I had bought limes for a recipe and had some left over. I adapted Nigella's recipe … Continue reading Lavender And Lime Drizzle Cake
