This recipe for fruit and nut bread is my submission to Fresh From The Oven. This month, our host for Fresh From The Oven is La Cuisine de Sarah. She set us a lovely task of making a breakfast fruit bread. Ordinarily I would get the challenge on the 1st of the month, and then have a good … Continue reading Fruit And Nut Bread
These hot cross buns were made for the Fresh From The Oven challenge. They are meant to be made over Easter. But I could well imagine making them year round. I can remember at high school being late for a class and telling the teacher "better late than never" (cheeky bugger me) and he replied … Continue reading Hot Cross Buns
I was like a child, the day before Christmas, checking the blog very half an hour on the first of the month, to see if this month's Fresh from the Oven challenge had been posted. Eventually I had to leave work and on the 2nd the first thing I did was check in. I was … Continue reading Panettone

I must have tested ten biscotti recipes, and each and every one has been different in some way but all have had the same results! They have not worked. So, when I was at lunch at Delheim for the mushroom day and we were … Continue reading Dried Shitake Mushroom and Apricot Biscotti
I have a handwritten recipe for cranberry and oat slices that I must have copied down when at a friend a long time ago. If it had been done in the past two years I would have made a note from where I copied it, as I do not want to copy other people's recipes … Continue reading Cranberry And Oat Slices
I was inspired by a recipe posted by Cook Sister! to make a lamb shank curry. If you remember, I had decided after testing the Adoro Mouvèdre, with both cheese and chocolate, to make a curry to see just how well this wine complimented a curry. In my opinion, star anise is one of the … Continue reading Lamb Shank Curry
I have posted this recipe on my food24 blog and it does not work if you tweak it too much, as my friend Zabwan discovered. I was not going to use this recipe again for the challenge, as the aim is to make something new. But, yesterday I tried a recipe from the Vital Club … Continue reading Berry Bars
As I am sucrose intolerant I find it easier to make my own breakfast cereal than read all the ingredients on all the packets of muesli's available in the supermarkets. This granola is by no means the cheaper option, but it is the healthier choice. I have been making this granola recipe for so long … Continue reading Granola | Easy To Make At Home
