I recently read an article by Felicity Cloake in the Guardian, on how to make the perfect chocolate biscuit. That is a chooclate flavoured one, rather than with melted chocolate on the top. I was intrigued and, happily, Felicity had tried recipes from several sources before arriving at what she called the perfect version. So […]
White Chocolate Brownies are a very nice variant on the more common, and very popular, brownie recipe. This particular recipe is to replace a bake I did that wasn’t as successful as I wanted it. What a very nice replacement too, since it has a lovely texture and flavour and is very simple to make. […]
I have seen several recipes for a form of fudge, with nuts in. But the fudge is such that it doesn’t need to be boiled up to a very high temperature. It is not a true fudge, but is very similar and so easy to make. Using chocolate, nuts, condensed milk and a little butter […]
Today’s recipe is for a Chocolate Tiffin, which could also be called a Chocolate Refrigerator Cake. It is a very simple recipe and doesn’t actually require any baking. But it does need some ingredients to be melted. Tiffin is actually a word that was coined in the days of the British Empire, when the British […]
As we approach the holiday season I wanted to make some easy but tasty treats. One of my ideas was rum balls and I checked on the internet and saw that Joyofbaking had a very simple recipe that looked good. So I decided to make mine using that recipe as the basis. There is no […]
Today I made some wonderfully crispy biscuits and sandwiched them together with a chocolate ganache. I got the idea when I saw some pictures of a French biscut Prince Chocolate. They are a two thin biscuits/cookies that are sandwiched with chocolate, with a pattern imprinted on them.. The biscuit has to be hard and crispy […]
Today I have a lovely recipe, from BBC Good Food, for a Chocolate Fudge Cake. This is a single layer cake, but could quite easily be turned into two layers by doubling the recipe to create two cakes and then maybe filling with a chocolate buttercream, using some of the frosting from the recipe. […]
I was reading Julia Child’s Mastering The Art of French Cooking when I came across what she calls Queen of Sheba Cake. I then took a look at Youtube and I found an episode of her 1960s TV show where she made the cake. It looked interesting so I thought that I would try it. […]
Bourbon biscuits are a favourite in the UK. They are two chocolate biscuits sandwiched together with a chocolate cream filling. I found a recipe for a dessert(he called it pudding) in Gary Rhodes’ Step by Step Cooking. It was for two large bourbon biscuits, sandwiched by two layers of chocolate brownie and a layer of […]
I often watch videos from Sorted Food, which is a group of guys having far more fun that should be legal, whilst cooking. One of their latest videos was for an Edible Nest, that looked so easy and would be a lovely presentation piece on a table. So I decided I would make one too. […]
