TutuTallulah Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We have had a birthday celebration for my baby Ruby who is 4 today (she's one of my two Bassett Hounds ) So I cooked: Pear, Parma ham and pecorino salad with home made garlic bread. Spaghetti bolognese. Red velvet cake with American frosting. Ruby and her best friend Millie (my other Bassett) had spaghetti bolognese and then a slice of cake as a birthday treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I made a sort of plain cheesecake (crushed ginger biscuits for the base and some vanilla in the topping) . The ones in the shops are always have fruit on and the plain New York cheesecakes seem rubbery. Mine was absolutely delicious (if I do say so myself). OH doesn't do puds tho, so I will have to eat it all myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 My hubby made a lovely large steak and kidney pudding in the Lakeland metal basin with lid that is in their sale at the moment. It comes with the recipe and was yummy. I can see why the product gets such mixed reviews because we need our huge deep stock pot to fit it into. I have used it a couple of times for family sized steamed puds, saves all the faff with greaseproof paper, tin foil and string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I love eccles cakes, hmm might have to try to make some. Today I have made some carrot & sweet potato soup (with homemade granary bread) and banana loaf. The soup has cumin in in and tastes lovely.

Lesley Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 There are lots of recipes if you Google..... I tried one at the cafe at Deddington Farmers' Market last summer and realised the flavour was the same as the Wacky Cake I make (recipe on here somewhere) so I made my 'Guiness' Cake with that recipe as it was lighter sponge than the one I tried and added the cream cheese topping.

The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I make the same one as Lesley with Guinness (or a local stout) instead of the water - it's delicious with a cream cheese topping, in fact it's Rosie's 'cake of the moment' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Claret I have just made your lemon drizzle cake Very proud of myself, first cake I've made for years and it was yum. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 You all make such lovely things. Now that I'm single and boys work shifts I don't have the inclination to make anything apart from a main meal which I leave out for them. I used to really enjoy baking but doesn't seem any point now I need to get my cooking mojo back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddie Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Have just taken flapjack and rock buns out of the oven, where the beef casserole is cooking away for tonights dinner. Made dried apricot jam earlier, with cinnamon, and other spices in it, though i feel the consistancy isnt as good as fresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 For the first time I've pickled some eggs looking at the jar I'm not sure if my hubby or ES will actually eat them as the recipe called for cinnamon sticks in it and it looks like there are lots of dusty bits in the vinegar We'll see how they turn out once they've matured for a bit. Just got a spag bol on the go for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
