Tartine’s Zucchini and Orange Marmalade Tea Cake … as healthy as it gets
“Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.” Jim Davis Saw something stunning the other day – Zucchini & Orange Marmalade Tea Cake. The minute I saw it at Manggy’s No Special Effects, I could hear Ten in 10 yelling at the back of my head. Having made a Chocolate Zucchini Cake in the past, and the children not figuring that out was a gleeful experience. But I hardly ever make that one because of all the butter it takes to make the cake luscious and delectable. So when I read that Manggy had made this cake probably 4 times in nearly…

Red Velvet Cake Roll with Strawberries and Ricotta …give me RED!
“Lots of bright colors like lime, orange and red this year.” Barbara Henderson The sight of the brilliant RED in the RVC takes my breath away each time I see a picture. Does that happen to you too? I have always wanted to make a red velvet cake (RVC) for as long as I can remember. So much talk about it, so many pictures calling my name, but I never quite had the courage to try making something so red which often involved a whole bottle of red food colouring. It scared me! Almost every recipe I came across had about that amount of colour to lend the cake its…

Chocolate chip, Cranberry & Walnut Sconies (Scones+Cookies=Sconies) … we l♥v them!
“Sometimes me think what is love, and then me think love is what last cookie is for. Me give up the last cookie for you.” Cookie Monster I love making cookies, and I love making scones. This time I decided to combine my love forthe two, using a recipe I turn to often. It’s one I use from Romney Steels cookbook My Nepenthe that was reviewed on Heidi’s beautiful blog 101 Cookbooks. These are the best I’ve ever made, and oh-so-accomodative. What I like about them is the ease with which the recipe embraces different ingredients. Had posted the scones over Christmas ‘Orange & Oat Scones‘. My nephew who was…
