Hoorah for World Bread Day! It’s been 2 years since I last participated and I was extremely not to miss the deadline this time around. Hosted each year by kochtopf World Bread Day aims to highlight bakers and bread recipes from around the world. Around 

Sarina’s Oatsy Orange French Toast (recipe)

Well here it is, my first entry to a food event since my ‘hiatus’. Color me all aflush with nervousness and excitement! One of the things that I love about this food events is that they push me into new creative areas where genres and 

Almond-Peach Muffins (recipe)

I first made these muffins late last year as the dessert portion of a Shabbat menu. Light, moist, and not too sweet they would make a perfect complement to an afternoon tea 🙂 The recipe is also very forgiving in terms of composition. Feel free 

Hay Hay It’s Donna Day #15 – Tarts: All-Inclusive / Caramelised Onion and Anchovy Tarts (recipe)

Welcome to the latest installment of Hay Hay It’s Donna Day 😀 It’s a huge pleasure (and honour) to host this current round, my first time hosting a food event of any kind! 🙂 Barbara, of Winos and Foodies has been an amazing help to 

Coconut Rock Buns (recipe)

Coconut rock buns are a nostalgic treat for me. I vividly remember saving up my allowance, as a child ,to buy them from the lady who sold baked goods out of the back of her station wagon every Wednesday afternoon at my prep school. Now 

Banana Bread (recipe)

So I’m down to the wire, poised like a racehorse at the starting gate, determined to meet the deadline of this month’s Bread Baking Day. So what if I waited til the last possible moment, it still counts right? 🙂 This month the theme is 

Fried Breadfruit and Buljol

Fried Breadfruit and Buljol

Fried Breadfruit and Buljol Yet another earthy rootsy breakfast fave. The creamy coolness of the fried breadfruit chips gives a solidity and neutral canvas for the spicy heat of the shredded saltfish and scotch bonnet peppers. So yum!

Herbed Square Bread (recipe)

When I saw that Zorra at Kochtopf had decided to start a monthly bread challenge I knew I had to take part. I love to make bread and I don’t make as many varieties as I would like 🙂 This would be an opportunity to 

Cinnamon-Apple Streusel Muffins (recipe)

Hearty, dense, earthy, wholesome. These are the words that I traditionally associate with muffins, thanks to years of my mom’s bran-carrot-raisin concoctions. As good and nutritious as those are they are also the polar opposite of everything that this recipe was. Yet another slam-dunk from 

Scottish Oatcakes (recipe)

When I first read about Beck ‘n Posh’s British food challenge (titled Fish n Quips) I was immediately filled with curiousity, excitement and fear. You see, and I hope I don’t offend too many, most of my memories of eating in England are far from 

Sarina’s Miniature Hot Pepper Soufflés (recipe)

I have always been intimidated by soufflés. No, that’s not quite true. I had never thought of a soufflé? as something that should intimidate me, until I saw the horrors that Lucy Liu’s character had with them in one of the Charlies’ Angels movies. Ever 

Baking Powder Biscuits (recipe)

There is something about Sundays. The pace of life is slower, the roads are empty, the neighbourhood is quieter, and the sunshine seems slightly brighter. Sundays lend themselves to leisurely baking like no other day of the week. That’s why last Sunday I decided to 

Carambola Bread (recipe)

Carambola Bread (recipe)

Two weeks ago I bought a bunch of starfruit (carambola) with the crazy idea of using it to make a cheesecake topping. Unfortunately the cheesecake never materialized and I was stuck with these silly green things in my vegetable drawer. Rather than let them go 

Trinidad Buljol (recipe)

Salted codfish, tomatoes and the hottest peppers known to man. Probably not the most scintillating combination on paper, but believe me one taste and you -will- be hooked! Buljol is without a doubt one of my favorite breakfast foods. I love the way that the
