Cheesy Tomato Bread
When I’m at uni, I’m more or less completely cut off from what’s on television. I occasionally visit iPlayer or 4OD if I’ve got an hour to kill, but I never really keep up to date with anything. It’s because of this that I was totally unaware of Paul Hollywood’s Bread programme. I watched it the other …
The Best Cake In The World
Hello again, I’m so sorry for the lack of posts recently, I just honestly don’t know where the time’s been going. Actually, it may have something to do with the fact that my body seems to think it’s perfectly acceptable to sleep for at least 11 hours EVERY night when I’m at home. Seriously, every …
Chocolate Ganache
Just a warning, this is a very picture-heavy post. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but I just thought I’d prepare you! When I was home, nearly two weeks ago now (I honestly can’t believe how fast time is going! I seem to have so much work and it’s just …
Scones
As promised, here’s the first recipe following my weekend of food – scones. I’m not sure why I was craving scones, as they’re definitely a summer food for me, but I just couldn’t get them out of my head! So I made some, and then ate lots of them! The first step is to sieve 8 …
A Weekend of Food
The weekend just gone, I decided to come home just because. It actually turned out to be quite an extended stay as I didn’t have any lectures on Friday, so caught the train back on Thursday evening and then went back to uni on Monday morning. It’s strange, but I always find when I come …
University Style Apple and Pear Crumble
On Wednesday evening after tea, I just had a craving for a proper homemade dessert. Usually I have a chocolate bar or a piece of fruit or something, just because I NEED something sweet after tea, but on Wednesday, neither of them would do. I was on my own in the house and decided that …
Eclairs
Before I went home last weekend, I’d said to my mum that I really wanted to do some cooking while I was there. I love cooking and baking, but it’s just so hard to do it at uni – the kitchen’s tiny and most of the time it’s covered with dirty washing up. I also …
The Morning of Two Cafes
On Thursday, I didn’t have any lectures in the morning and the roads were clear of snow, so my mum managed to come over for a visit. I met her in town and, of course, we headed straight to our favourite cafe here. This is the one where they use real chocolate in their hot …
Christmas Bake Off Challenge – Gingerbread House
I have FINALLY finished the little (haha) project that I’ve been working on for over a week now, and as you’ve probably guessed, it’s a gingerbread house. I had the idea to make one when they had to do them on The Great British Bake Off and was going to do one for a bake …
Christmas Spirit
One Sunday earlier this term, my flatmates and I nipped into town to buy a friend a birthday present. As we walked up the main street, we saw that the whole road was closed and there were stalls everywhere – it was a Christmas market! We walked around a few of the stalls and bought …
