Blueberry Lime Buttermilk Pound Cake
Blueberries & lime - a combination made in heaven, makes for beautiful pairing. The buttermilk in the pound cake gives it a beautiful, light crumb. It's very nice warm, and good even the next day. The blueberries rehydrate with the lime and buttermilk and add glory to the cake. This is one basic cake I make ALL the time, the recipe lives in my head, and takes any number of flavour combinations willingly.

Baking| Whole Wheat & Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies … better late than never!
Chocolate chip cookies for a healthier 2011! I have always included some whole wheat by default, but was taken aback to see that using whole grains alone, whole wheat and rolled oats, still gave them a fabulous texture, and handsome bite.

Baking | Chocolate Orange Almond Gateau … Sweet beginning to our New Year!
The Chocolate Orange Almond Gateau is wonderful and moist, with a beautiful balance of flavours. Orange, almond and chocolate hang in delicate harmony, each complimenting the other, no overpowering flavours here. Even the basic sponge is a nice one to keep in your recipe folder as a base for layer cakes.
