CHIPS OFF THE OLD PRETZEL

CHIPS OFF THE OLD PRETZEL
You know I love a good bread recipe, and never short on food ideas, I am happy to say that I found a couple of fellow bloggers on the same wave length for these ones; Pink Parsley did an excellent recipe adapted from the now extinct Gourmet Magazine and added Jalepeno Mustard…terrific idea! But...

THE FULL WILLY!

THE FULL WILLY!
Yes, The Full Willy! As in Willy’s Wonky Chocolate…its a long story, but after watching the amazing Willy on SBS and being totally charmed by the romance of it all, I happened to visit my sister and found that her husband had gone ahead and ordered some of Willy’s amazing chocolate...

THE BEST ROLLS EVER ~ just ask my niece!

THE BEST ROLLS EVER ~ just ask my niece!
Sweet Butter glazed rolls I had a lovely family dinner at mine on the weekend, enjoyed trying a few new things, something that I don’t often do in the family setting. I never cook the same thing twice at work, but at  home we have our tried and true faves. As you know I love making bread, there...

MENOPAUSE CRACKERS!

MENOPAUSE CRACKERS!
Go crackers! Now that could seem a little tasteless, if they weren’t so darn tasty! Full of linseed, a little Chia to chia you up, no soy, but plenty of phyto estrogens going on…and we all know how good they can taste! Crackers with no wheat as well, which as you all know is my new mantra,...

NO PAIN, ‘PAIN BRIOCHE’!

NO PAIN, ‘PAIN BRIOCHE’!
Golden Brioche Eat Me Eat Me The Love Affair I have with bread apparently should stop or at least slow down. According to an Ion Cleanse I had this last week anyway. Not sure I am completely convinced, but I have stopped eating all gluten for a week, and I must say, I have more energy, so that can’t...

THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!

THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!
Parmesan Pretzels Pretzel-in-a-basket Told you I was stuck on bread and ice cream! Just can’t think past that at the moment…work recipes are sucking my brains out through my taste buds I fear, but all to good result. Those big buttery pretzels you buy in a popular chain right now are so overpriced,...

PERFECT FRENCH STICKS or bâtons Français parfaits

PERFECT FRENCH STICKS or bâtons Français parfaits
Sliced French Bread French Batons I love making bread! There is something deeply satisfying about a perfect loaf with a crispy crust, and after a little chat on the Forum Thermomix about just that, I thought I would give myself a Saturday treat and make a couple of batons! (She says casually!) Of course...

A DATE WITH SWEET ROLLS

A DATE WITH SWEET ROLLS
Date rolls with homemade butter Well folks, I’m trying to get back on deck, and I haven’t even been on holidays yet. Between a Vegetarian cookbook, a Back to School cook booklet, the work recipe blog, and 3 kids leaving the country for a while, an up-coming wedding across the world and a...

THE CHRISTMAS STOLLEN

THE CHRISTMAS STOLLEN
Without too much ado about nothing, Stollen originates from Germany, and apparently has been around for at least 500 years. Buttery, almond laden, fruity, sweet and yeast risen, my dear mother used to make it each Christmas, and I confess I was never keen on it, but with a tweak or two, this is stunning...

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
I made a terrific bread recipe during the week, part of which I used as a crusty base for an onion tart…the rest made the most delicious bread which toasted to nutty perfection and was swiftly polished off by the hungry hoards that inhabit my kitchen whether I let them or not! SO two recipes...
