Cherry, Marzipan & Pistachio Cake
Ladies Who Inspire Me
There's an inordinate amount of bad news to discuss these days. I've never been so interested in politics and I've become one of those people who argues with racist twerps on the internet. But we're not even gonna go there. This is a purely positive post which I'd like to dedicate to the go getting ladies out there. With a female PM now leading our country I want to talk about some REAL inspirational ladies.
All the following ladies are STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMEN who I admire for various reasons. Lets discuss.
Reshmi Bennet - Baking Genius
Rebecky Alford - She Gone and Done It
Darshanee Amlani - The Determinator
First Attempt: Rhubarb & Custard Eclairs
I very nearly didn’t post this recipe because the eclairs didn’t come out quite as I’d imagined they would. Technically the pastry was, as far as I could tell, great, as was the creme patissiere. It was just the piping of the eclairs that let me down. I chose a nozzle that was too thin so the eclairs didn’t come out quite as wide as they were supposed to which meant that when I sliced them they tore quite easily ?
Raspberry & Orange Blossom Lemon Drizzle Cake
I am off to Kenya today. It seems the only time I actually find to blog is right before I am about to go away somewhere. Last time it was Glastonbury. I was going to share photos of what I ate but I somehow only managed to take 2 photos both of which are of things I ate and shared with you last year. D'oh. So let's just say I ate a lot of good food at Glastonbury and some not so great food. My favourite vendors were; Buddha Bowl, Tea & Toast, The Cheese Truck and The Hippy Chippy. If you see any of these guys at festivals you go to, hit 'em up!
(So I've actually been to Kenya and come back since I began writing this post. Whoops)
