Should I use a higher oven temperature for the sugar to cook properly? Anything else I need to be aware of ..read more

If I'm making a cake or chocolate quinoa, can I treat saxa salt and sea salt as identical? Waitrose & Partners I made this recipe with extra cacao, truvia and sugar, but didn't get the richness that I want. I used saxa salt and was wondering if I need to boost the amount. https://nourishingmeals.com/2022/04/buckwheat-chocolate-cake ..read more

Image courtesy of Waitrose website I've modified the original recipe slightly because I needed it dairy free. It is by chance also gluten-free (if your baking powder is gluten-free). I prefer to use frozen raspberries simply because they mix in better without disintergrating and ideally they will remain whole this way. I don't like overly sweet things so the sugar ratio has been dropped in both the cake and the syrup and you could try omitting the sugar from the drizzle... Read more ..read more

I'm guessing it's from the 1980/90's maybe? going by the picture on the back of the recipe. It has come off a box of eggs. Ingredients 175g (6 oz) shortcrust pastry 50g (2oz) Cornflour (UK term so think corn starch if you're in USA) 300ml (½ pint) water 25g (1oz) butter 1 large or 2 small oranges, rind and juice 2 eggs separated 175g (6oz) caster sugar...

I was looking through my late Grannie's recipe books and folders when I came across to recipe for Sticky Orange Cake. I can't name the magazine it came out of or date it other than by the colour of the paper. I reckon the recipe dates to the late 1950's. Between you and I, I think they've missed an opportunity to add an orange glaze to the loaf. I'd suggest that 250ml of orange juice is mixed with 2-3 tbsp of maple syrup or golden syrup and warmed and reduced to a thicker sauce (probably... Read more ..read more

It's very hard for me to do anything cooking related at the moment. I usually feed my starter once a week and store it in the fridge. How long can I go between feedings in the fridge ..read more

I wanted to put my new food processor through its paces, so I churned out a standard wheat sandwich loaf: Worked out really well, the food processor didn’t budge at all and was very quiet while kneading away at a 4-cups-of-flour dough ..read more
