Peanut butter biscuits – baking and eating to soothe the soul

Caroline von Schmalensee March 27, 2020 March 27, 2020
When I put dollops of mixture on baking sheets, I wasn't sure what would come out. These have perfect shape, texture and flavour.

In these uncertain and stressful times, cooking is helpful. It keeps you busy inside and gives you delicious things to eat. We were already cooking most of our food from scratch but have extended that habit to treats like biscuits and cake. It keeps us out of trouble and off the…

Bondkakor (farm biscuits) – making a Swedish classic a little fancier with pistachios & chocolate

Caroline von Schmalensee January 31, 2020 August 25, 2020
Tender, rich and rather lovely: fancy farm biscuits.

There was butter in the fridge and I realised I needed to use it. So I went to my favourite Swedish cookbook, the one that’s been with me since I was a kid, and looked through the biscuits there. I was quickly reminded of how much I like bondkakor (farm…

Home-made yogurt: easy and satisfying. Is it?

Caroline von Schmalensee November 29, 2019 November 28, 2019
Yogurt. Home-made. Creamy, delicious, cheap. Worth it?

I’ve been eating a lot of yogurt – specifically Greek – recently and had the thought of making my own. It’s easy, said the recipes I read online and in my cookbook. It’s satisfying, thrifty and domestic-goddess-like, said my head. So, off I went.

Fun with fruit and starch – returning to childhood favourites

Caroline von Schmalensee October 4, 2019 October 3, 2019
Dried fruit turned into wonderful, soothing soup.

I had a conversation with a friend of mine about coffee machines of yore. I told her that my favourite thing to get from the coffee machines where I worked between school and uni was fruit soup. Then I explained fruit soup. Then I asked how the apples got through…

Cook’s notes – courgettes, the last of the summer veggies

Maureen Clark September 3, 2019 September 3, 2019
While we wait for the squashes to ripen, let's enjoy courgettes.

Courgettes are a wonderful seasonal fruit: yes, a fruit, not a vegetable, but usually found on the vegetable shelves.   Summer varieties continue into thicker-skinned relatives such as pumpkins and squashes in the autumn.

Pain facile – easy and satisfying bread

Caroline von Schmalensee August 23, 2019 October 16, 2019
Pain facile - all you need is flour, water and time.

YouTube isn’t usually where I go for cooking inspiration. But I was dipping a toe, getting hypnotised by Japanese cheesecake videos and, suddenly, saw the title for this bread recipe: Pain facile: homemade 3 MIN NO-KNEAD bread (Dutch-oven Baked) video. I clicked and a love story followed.

Mug cake – what’s that all about then?

Caroline von Schmalensee August 16, 2019 August 15, 2019
Vanilla and raspberry - simple and satisfying.

I was in the baking section of my local super market and did  double-take when I saw the instant mug cake. If there’s a powder version, it must have really made the main stream. It was a rainy, dull day. I decided to do some research and see if there was…

Cook’s notes – Funky Melons – Summer is still here!

Maureen Clark August 6, 2019 August 5, 2019
Melon and fruit medley - a summery, fresh sharing dessert.

We all recall blissful memories of enjoying juicy melons as a thirst-quenching fruit on a warm summer day – either on a picnic or on a far-flung hot holiday destination.

Drinks Biscuits – the snack paired to be eaten with drinks

Kerry Teakle July 2, 2019 July 2, 2019
Cornish Saison beer paired with Drinks Biscuits Lancashire Cheese & Spring Onion

Who doesn’t love something to nibble on when imbibing?  I certainly do.  I normally have a supply of the dough for my mum’s legendary cheese biscuits or Wendy Barrie’s savoury shortbreads in the freezer but on less organised days, then I sometimes have to resort to something shop-brought.  Of course,…
