I’VE BEEN TAGGED…Kiwi Cake & ‘Meme’ in My 100th POST!!
‘Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!’ Seuss KIWI FRUIT in a Sponge with Fresh Cream, Almonds & Marmalade I can’t believe that its time for my 100th post. Phew…it’s been a long journey by my meagre standards when I entered the world of bloggers a few months ago, with thoughts if I would last it out. Can say I’m having a great time & am still in awe of bloggers who’ve been around for years. It’s a wonderful world out here in the blogosphere which goes by the mantra “THE MORE, THE MERRIER”!! My…

BISCOTTI…The Great Italian Cookie!
“You’ll always make good food from great ingredients,but you will never make great food from bad ingredients.” Michael Chiarrello BISCOTTI in 2 TONES!! Here’s what I baked yesterday…BISCOTTI. It’s been on my mind for really long ever since I’ve been haunted by a picture posted on Group Recipes.This particular biscotti recipe is from Rogers page on Group Recipes which I have adapted to suit the ingredients I had available. The fact that the recipe uses olive oil & not butter won me over!! The recipe is a wee bit fiddly as it uses no butter which makes the dough quite sticky and squishy; but don’t let this put you off.…

GINGER IN MANY AVATARS…Diversity is the ‘Spice of Life’!
“Had I but a penny in the world, thou shouldst have it for gingerbread.” William Shakespeare (1564-1616) GINGER GINGER EVERYWHERE…& a pile of it here!Time again for the monthly ‘Think Spice’ at Sunita’s World & it’s GINGER this time. Known for its great digestive properties & medicinal value, ginger is widely used in cooking in this part of the world. I love the warm, earthy flavour it imparts to dishes it’s added to. I use ginger quite extensively, and thanks to Sunita’s spicy thoughts, have been given an opportunity to post a few recipes. With diversity being the spice of life…here goes! GINGER LEMONGRASS COOLER…I found the idea while browsing…

ESPRESSO CAKE…Can you smell the coffee??
““Everybody should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another coffee.” Author Unknown My ESPRESSO CAKE….Mmmmmmm Here starts a brand new week of coffee opportunities. This happens to me every November, when coffee is my favourite ingredient in my month of the ‘Scorpio’! In my words, there are very few things that I would attach an ‘automatic-droolamatic’ quotient to. This cake is just of those..bittersweet & just the right dessert with a cuppa coffee! This is a must for serious coffee lovers, and recommended for those who would like a change from chocolate.The cake has been put together and is waiting to be cut later this evening. It’s a basic…

‘Just around the corner, There’s a rainbow in the sky. So let’s have another cup o’ coffee, And let’s have another piece o’ pie.’ Irving Berlin, 1932 ‘COFFEE IN A TRIFLE’… Here starts a brand new week of coffee opportunities. This happens to me every November, when coffee is my favourite ingredient in my month of the ‘Scorpio’! In my words, there are very few things that I would attach an ‘automatic-droolamatic‘ quotient to. One of them is this…‘Coffee in a Trifle’ as I choose to call it, which I made up as I went along the way. Baked a coffee flavoured sponge this morning, for a birthday cake later…
