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…

Tempt You With Bitter Orange Marmalade? Why Ever Not??
“I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It’s amazing how it cheers one up to shred oranges and scrub the floor.” D.H. Lawrence Marmalade : (n.) A preserve or confection made of the pulp of fruit, as the quince, pear, apple, orange, etc., boiled with sugar, and brought to a jamlike consistence. Another beautiful and wonderful tradition I follow is bitter marmalade making. A tradition which is about giving and not so much about getting. This is the time of the year that the tangerine tree is laden with fruit and calling my name. I have a tradition of making bitter…

OOOOPS, I DID IT AGAIN! CRYSTALLISED GINGER & TANGERINES
“I loved ginger; I’ve always recognized its tremendous healing power,”Chris Reed I thought I would never let me heart win over my head again. Have made the same mistake a 1000 times over, but ooops, I did it again! A month ago, while talking to my friend in Kiev, she mentioned that she couldn’t find any crystallised ginger in Kiev at all, & was in a fix as she really wanted it in her Christmas cake. She excitedly called back a few days later to say her friend who was visiting Istanbul found some & picked it up for her. End of story, blah, blah, blah. Hmmmmmm…or so I thought!…

…& LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE – CLICK CITRUS!
“The distance doesn’t matter, it is only the first step that is difficult.” Marie de Vichy-Chamrond Life comes a full circle in many more ways than 1. Yes, I’m 1 year old in blogland & everyday offers exciting, new insights & views galore. Gathered some courage to peek into my first couple of posts & know now how far I’ve come. One of my first posts were not even remotely related to baking…the Indian tailor Bird in our yard, which adopted a plant in our garden & sewed a nest, laid eggs, hatched the chicks…which flew crookedly from plant to plant! I followed crookedly with a camera not knowing that…

SEVILLE/BITTER ORANGE MARMALADE…Bittersweet pleasure!
“And the fruits will outdo what the flowers have promised.” Francois de Malherbe SEVILLE/BITTER ORANGE MARMALADE…locally called ‘TANGERINE MARMALADE’ I sent my daughter & her friend off to my neighbours house to get a bagful of these tart little oranges; also referred to as ‘narangis‘ here. My neighbours’ tree was laden with them & she was more than happy to see them put to good use. I sent her a jar too, & distributed all but one, as I have a long list of bitter marmalade lovers waiting for their anual share! Most people here grow these plants for ornamental value. I got this British-style recipe from a friend of…
