A quick bite of bread today; with yesterday’s Daring Bakers entry and my announcement of the Monthly Mingle tomorrow, not to mention various posts that are stacking up, things have been a bit rushed this weekend. Thus I am popping my head into the Fresh From The Oven party to say hello but I cannot […]
Orange Pannacotta Crumble Pots with Candied Kumquat
Orange Pannacotta Crumble Pots with Candied Kumquats were made for a Daring Bakers challenge. The February 2011 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mallory from A Sofa in the Kitchen. She chose to challenge everyone to make Panna Cotta from a Giada De Laurentiis recipe and Nestle Florentine Cookies. I had a couple of problems […]
February Top 10 Posts
Image credit: Kevin and Amanda At the end of January I started what I hope will be a monthly feature on Maison Cupcake, a top 10 of my favourite eye catching posts of the month. Although I’m a sucker for additional work for myself, I thought you’d get a lot more out of this post […]
February Cupcake Crumbs
Cupcake Crumbs is my end of the month round up of bits and pieces that haven’t made it into posts of their own. But they’re no less delicious for it. You frequently hear food bloggers, myself included, despairing of the terrible light for food photographs at this time of year. If only I had a […]
Seduced by Chocolate Forever Nigella Round Up!
Any notion I had about the inaugural Forever Nigella being a flash in the pan was swept away this month when SIXTY of you were well and truly Seduced by Chocolate for Forever Nigella #2. Without further to-do let’s linger over all our wonderful slinky chocolate smothered entries. You may like to take the phone […]
Forever Nigella #3 “Ciao Italia”
This month’s theme is Italian. For Forever Nigella #3 “Ciao Italia” you may submit any Nigella recipes for Italian dishes or any showcasing Italian ingredients.
Eat Pray Love Menu with Ms Marmite Lover
Long haul travel is not my thing so the likelihood of me visiting Indian or Bali is remote, less still to go there to pray or meditate.
The food however, the food, I am perfectly willing to travel in my mind’s eye via exciting things on my plate.
Pink Praline Macarons
Today I ground up some last few large chunks of praline to create a fine pink dust and stencilled it onto these macarons. An unexpected consequence of doing so was…
Pink Praline Palmiers with Krushchev Dough
You smash pink pralines up and scatter them over things before baking and afterwards you get these wonderful pomegranate coloured fragments of sugar on top.
Krushchev Rolls Filled With Boursin Cream Cheese
It may look like an organised Generation Game style conveyor belt of recipe posts round here but there’s a lot of stuff that can roll off the end and go splat on the floor when you miss the deadline for a blogging event. Often I have ideas lined up for things I want to submit, […]
Panettone French toast
French toast seems to be a generic term for eggy bread… you’d expect eggy cake to be a bit rich but I’m pleased to report that this was not sicky in the least and with a genereous coating of egg, made for a delightful winter breakfast.
Breakfast Club Yogurt Round Up
Thank you to everyone to who took part in January’s Breakfast Club… here goes with the round up, slightly later than planned. It has been a rather full-on week! You can checkout the details of the February Breakfast Club here with regular host Helen at Fuss Free Flavours where the February theme is “Breakfast To […]
