This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe comes from Baking with Dorie. Maple Walnut Pie sounded delicious to me but my other half doesn’t like walnuts (!) or pecans (!) so because I don’t even need two tiny pies to myself, I went with slivered almonds which is what I had on hand. Knowing this was ... Read more ..read more

Did you know? Today, November 24th is Fairy Bread Day! Hold on… what’s FAIRY BREAD? A favourite childhood treat in Australia, that’s what! Right up there with a sugar sandwich (yup – white bread, butter and sugar, a VERY occasional treat), fairy bread was something you got to eat rarely – mostly at birthday parties. ...

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe comes from Baking with Dorie. Tarte Tatin is one of my favourite French dishes so I couldn’t wait to make it, especially since Dorie had just recently written about it again in her newsletter. Basically this is pastry topped with caramel and apples, but it’s baked upside down so ... Read more ..read more

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe comes from Baking with Dorie. Morning Bundt Cake sounded wonderful until I realised that 1. I don’t own a full-sized bundt pan and 2. I have given away my mini bundt pans (in a fit of equipment organisation, where I was ruthless about what I actually use most). Also, ... Read more ..read more

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe comes from Baking with Dorie. Apple galette was the perfect dessert to welcome the first of the truly autumnal weather. Galettes are the gateway to pastry (or at least they were for me!) – they’re meant to look rustic and imperfect so if you’re not a pastry pro or ... Read more ..read more

Today would have been my mum’s 82nd birthday. Sadly, this is the first birthday she’s not with us to celebrate and I’d be lying if I said it isn’t a hard day for us all. Mum was the baker, the cook in the family and she relished this role. It wasn’t a chore to cook ... Read more ..read more
