cooking up a storm at the edge of the world
“With each mouthful there is a definite taste of Shetland sea air, it is like tasting the wonderful cleanliness of the Shetland coastline as it reaches the lungs. Amazing!!” Jane, taste-tester I have to admit it, yes, this is one of my more unusual creations. I feel the need to say I am not in …

Recently while making a Black Forest Birthday Cake for my significant other I learned a few things.
This week saw another birthday celebration in Elizabeth’s Kitchen. I wanted to make something a little extra special for my significant other
Just imagine you are ten years old. You wake up in the morning and unzip your sleeping bag. The sun is streaming through the window and you can hear birds chirping outside.
It’s that time of year again (if we’re really lucky!) – it’s picnic and barbecue time!
July 1st is Canada Day; a perfect excuse to make a cake don’t you think?
My regular readers may recall me saying on a previous bread post that I’m in a bread phase right now. I’m making and enjoying all sorts of different breads recently and this often forms the main carbohydrate component of a meal.
I go through bread phases. Sometimes I can’t get enough of it and then I go months before I make it again. I’m in a bread phase right now and I’m making (and blogging!) a lot of bread. Fresh bread straight from the oven can’t be beat.
Following on from my confession in the Rhubarb Ripple Ice Cream with Hazelnut Oat Clusters blog post, my love of all things ice cream and cookie continues to be strong. But who says the cookies have to be cooked? Everyone loves cookie dough, no?
The 21st of June is Shetland Flag Day. Designed in 1969 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the transfer of Shetland from Norway to Scotland the Shetland Flag was not officially recognised until 2005 by the heraldic authority in Scotland.
I am still a child at heart. I really am, and as a child I was absolutely in love with jelly, especially red jelly. I was positively mad for it, if my mother is to be believed.
I have a terrible weakness for cookies… and cakes, and ice cream, and all things sweet… but mostly cookies.
In February of this year Vanesther at Bangers & Mash started a new food blogging challenge ‘Recipes for Life’ to help out a charity that operates just down the road from her.
Some years I discovered the magic that is banana ‘ice cream’.
The first time I was ever introduced to flatbreads was through an employer of mine back in Canada.
I love fresh bread. I have fond childhood memories of visiting my friend’s house when her mother had her bread-baking days. She’d spend a whole day making the bread for the month and the table and oven would be filled with loaves and trays of rolls, glistening with the melted butter brushed over the top.
We live out in the country where there are no takeaways. If we were to get a takeaway we’d have to drive for at least half an hour to town and back
I simply adore garlic, onions and roast chicken and this French-inspired recipe is a most delicious way to combine all three ingredients.
Be warned. This recipe is far too tasty. It’s so good that I’m not going to check the calorie content because I don’t want to be put off making/eating it!
