“Friendships develop over food and wine”

Prince Nicholas Romanoff

I made this cake once again yesterday…really enjoyed doing it. The basic cake is an orange flavoured sponge from a book by Sue Ross. It’s sandwiched with an almond whipped cream & topped with a dark chocolate ganache…really excellent. I made the one below using this recipe for the first time… A Chocolate Orange Gateau. You can find the recipe HERE.

The word excellent has reminded me of some urgent & overdue stuff to be done. I have received this lovely award three times; once each from Susan @ Food Blogga, Joy @ Joy the Baker & from Andrew @ New Cook…

…THANK YOU to all of you; each time I receive it makes me feel even more special. It’s time to pass this treasured award on to 10 blogs of my choice in no particular order. A tough choice with the blogosphere packed with excellence all over…

Suganya @ Tasty Palettes…she leaves me in awe with total perfection in every post. Mind-blowing pictures with clarity beyond belief…‘CHECK IT OUT’!!
Amy @ Familia Bencomo…she’s making chicken tikka while I’m trying her devilish marinade. We’re egging each other on, while the families on either side are having a rollicking good time. Isn’t that excellent!!
Nags @ For the Cook in Me…her blogs had an excellent make-over; she’s clicking beautifully & I think it’s because she’s gonna tie the knot soon! Something excellent stirring in there…
Manggy @ No Special Effects…a doc who’s a chef, & an excellent one at that! Check him out!! Don’t get misled by ‘no special effects’; I’d rename it as ‘Only Special Effects’!!!
Mike @ Mike’s Table…from seductive strawberries to home-made mango ice-cream to die for; he’s rocking the blogosphere!
Marie @ Proud Italian Cook…we shared serendipity (thanks to Amy). Her blog’s home to Italian cuisine which never fails to impress.
Ann @ Redacted Recipes…reflecting an eclectic mix of a Brit & American in Brooklyn, Ann’s blog has plenty of surprises with blasts from the past too. Cake with oats? Got ya thinking, didn’t I?
Arundhati @ Escapades…if you want to escape the mundane world, get to Arundhati’s. I’ve got to try her Star Anise ice-cream which has haunted me for a while, & then she posted some great mango pickle. I hope to catch up one day, unless she’s gallant enough to mail me a jar (hint,hint)!!
Miri @ Peppermill…if she’s not roasting the peppers & serving them with applomb, she’s churning out tales from days gone by. Connecting food to memories of childhood summers…that’s Miri!!
Amanda @ I Love to Eat…love pancakes? Brownies in many avatars? Mandy’s busy at work at school *sigh*, does an excellent job on her blog too *jump for joy* & has an infectious level of excitement…YAY!!
