Well kids, it seems I'm still out of words -- sort of. I can of course talk your ear off over tea or cocktails, and there are a thousand travel stories running through my head that are trying to formulate themselves into something digestible, but somehow I'm struggling to come up with any incidental tidbits that can be remotely linked to English Muffin Bread. Of course as I type that my bunny-hopping mind has just spun into the following stream of consciousness tangent ... English … [Read more...]

Sweet Potato Stout Quick Bread
If this is your first time here you may be better served heading over to look at popsicles or brownies and coming back another day... It's been an, interesting, few weeks on a few different fronts and I'm feeling a bit ranty. Still around? Well you've been warned, and as always there is cake at the end so make yourself a cup of tea and take cover. It's not just that I'm ranty, I'm relatively pissed off and generally annoyed -- at people who blame others for their mistakes or don't take … [Read more...]
Rye Sourdough Crackers
I'm not sure I have the temperament for sourdough. I make up all sorts of crazy creations from all sorts of things and will happily bake yeast and quick breads with my eyes closed -- but a bit of flour, water and starter has me quaking in my boots -- or at the very least ignoring the bubbling bowl waving at me each time I open the fridge. You see, a month or so ago I made up a batch of yoghurt and olive oil whole wheat flatbreads but only used two thirds of the dough. The rest became my … [Read more...]
Pan Con Tomate – Tomato Bread
Sometimes simple is best. Take for example basil - chopped with a few walnuts and whisked into a perfect pesto. Or peaches - sliced and slightly spiced and baked into a pie. Or tomatoes - pureed into a drink or roasted for sauce ... ... or rubbed on garlic-y bread with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of thyme. Simple and perfect. … [Read more...]
Grape & Rosemary Focaccia – Schiacciata Con l’Uva
The air is heady and sweet, greeting us as we turn into the driveway, painting our thoughts purple. It is the scent of bubblegum and ice blocks and lollies, the scent associated with most grape-flavoured childhood treats, yet not usually with real grapes. We stand in the middle of the wide green yard, taking in the vineyard's proud perfume for a moment before we wave absentmindedly back at the farmhouse and head for the leafy rows. Dodging dogs, skipping over patches of poison ivy … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Quinoa Cornbread
I've been a touch quiet 'round internet-land these past few weeks but there's been lots happening in the background... A few Dining Out posts, a few events, and a whole lot of design / editing / food photography for a new extremely fast turn around project has meant that this is not only the first recipe post in two weeks but the first thing I've cooked and photographed for my own purposes since those Almond Croissant Makeover treats. Phew. Of course that meant I not only tackled one … [Read more...]
Berry Filled Hot Cross Buns & an Easter Breakfast Braid
How does one make a batch of Hot Cross Bun even better? Stuff them with berry filling of course. Yes, it is a genius idea [if I do say so myself] but I can't take full responsibility for it... Let me back up a little bit first. A few months back I was over on Claire's site and she was sharing the exciting news that she had become a member of the Secret Recipe Club. It reminded me that I had applied for a spot at one point so I chased it up, and before I knew it I had a group! The way … [Read more...]
