(First post on my new computer, finding new programs and functionalities as I go… let’s hope for the best…) We had friends to dinner tonight, and I thought it would be nice to make David Lebovitz’s fresh ginger cake and…

Cooking around allergies
I’m right in the middle of wedding cake cookery right now – the cakes are cooling, and tomorrow I’ll be decorating them. I may also have a new recipe or two for you tomorrow, if all goes well, as well…
Recipe: Delicious, But Disappointingly Un-Purple, Carrot Cupcakes
Ever since the weekend, I’ve been thinking about purple carrot cake. Whether purple carrots would make purple cake. How to maximise the purpleness of the cake. Whether a vegan carrot cake (lacking alkaline egg-white) would get me a better purple…

Recipe: Potato Salad with Saffron and Herbs, for Beth
This is another recipe that I promised to pass on more than a year ago. Maybe two years go. Oh dear. Sorry, Beth… Anyway, this recipe’s a real delight – light and herby and tangy, without the creaminess of traditional…
