This month I have been baking five recipes from Rachel Allen’s Bake. This time I have baked red velvet cake for the first time. Although this is my last Bake Five blog using Rachel Allen’s Bake, I can honestly say that I will go out and buy this book. It’s been a while since I [Read on...] Now I don’t want you to eat seventeen of these cupcakes, it is the name of the shop they came from. My local deli is called Eat17 since we live in the postcode East 17. Quite a few of my friends have been asking whether I’ve tried the cupcakes in Eat17 so I have [Read on...] 
The perfect Saint Patrick’s Day recipe: Rachel Allen’s Beef, Guinness and Anchovy Pie Fourth installment of my series of five “Bake” by Rachel Allen recipes. Today I have made her Beef, Stout and Anchovy Pie with hot water pastry crust in honour of my fifth wedding anniversary. We’re not big Guinness drinkers so I [Read on...] Here we have the vanilla and chocolate cake mixtures for yesterday’s Bake Five Rachel Allen recipe. As I explained there, I had too much mixture for the tin I was using so I kept back some mixture and put it into six cupcake cases. They would be a gift for Josie’s 2nd birthday, who [Read on...] 
The third installment of five recipes I am baking from Rachel Allen’s Bake . Today it is Chocolate & Vanilla Marble Cake. The recipes in Rachel Allen’s Bake are for quite large sizes of cake. Here an 8 inch springform pan was required but I only had a 7 inch one to hand. I [Read on...] Today we paid one of our regular visits to Whitstable in Kent. It is one of the closest seaside places to East London and traffic permitting, we can be there in around 1 hour 15 minutes. Our previous trip had been in the spring of this year where we had been dismayed by the impact [Read on...] Gladstone Pottery Museum: My dad and son in the Emma Bridgewater factory shop: Five years ago I bemused my colleagues with news of a trip I’d taken to Stoke on Trent. I had spent a happy day with my husband viewing the bottle kiln at the Gladstone Pottery Museum (pictured above), with it’s cafe [Read on...] I say #1 as I know three Marthas who are all 2 years old. I have promised my friends each a batch of cupcakes with their child’s name on them – fortunately everyone’s names have six letters or less so they will fit into these plastic boxes. Today is Martha’s birthday and we are meeting [Read on...] 
This month I’m baking five recipes from Rachel Allen’s “Bake” and my next offering is Oat and Vanilla Shortbread Cookies. I was very impressed with this recipe. Using the Magimix to make the cookie dough I left it in the fridge before taking my son to playgroup. When we got back they were just [Read on...] 
This month I’m baking five recipes from Rachel Allen “Bake”. I’m hugely fond of recipes using sweet potatoes so my first recipe baked from Rachel Allen’s “Bake” is Sweet Potato and Pecan Bread. It’s called “bread” but is actually a cake in a loaf tin. It was a very easy recipe to follow, however [Read on...] We eventually found Primrose Bakery further down Gloucester Avenue back towards Camden. They have two shops, the one here and one in Covent Garden. I assume from the name that the Primrose Hill shop was the first. Their shop is a modestly sized cafe in shabby chic style with primrose yellow formica tables. Cupcakes were [Read on...] Today, despite all the weekend tube and rail closures, I have made an expedition to Primrose Hill to check out the cupcakes at Primrose Bakery. After a pleasant walk past London Zoo along the canal (from where we saw vultures in the Snowdon Aviary) we climbed Primrose Hill itself and made our way to [Read on...] My mother and I are having a shopping mission in Oxford Street today. Our day started in the basement of John Lewis looking at baking equipment and we continued to Divertimenti in Marylebone High Street, then onto Emma Bridgewater and Cath Kidston in Marylebone High Street followed by M&S at Marble Arch and Selfridges. [Read on...] More of the same here except I have used Silver Spoon White Chocolate Cake Covering instead of either ordinary white chocolate or Silver Spoon Milk Chocolate Cake Covering. I like topping cakes with chocolate as you don’t have to faff about getting the consistency of icing correct. So it is nice and quick for practising [Read on...] Today’s batch are for my Big Lunch girlfriends who are coming round tonight to celebrate our successful Big Lunch Street Party on 19th July. These cakes have a chocolate base and are presented in gold foil cases. On the top I have used Silver Spoon Milk Chocolate Cake Covering. It doesn’t taste so good as [Read on...] |
