Complete your meal by making my Persian Lamb Meatballs and Egyptian Date Crescents for dessert. Elevate rice from plain to a bejeweled side dish with golden saffron, crimson barberries and bright green pistachios
Back to the bake at hand, this loaf cake an adapted recipe taken from Leon’s Family & Friends cookbook and is absolutely gorgeous served warm with a bit of butter spread on top, but it just as nice with a hot drink the day after it’s made
This recipe is adapted from Nigella Lawson’s community recipe apple anddatecake on. Saturday is baking day at Kitchen Elements and Laura is always exploring the potential of our Miele and Siemens appliances
Cinnamon & DateCake by Ros from The More Than Occasional Baker. But she has used her home made kale pesto as the filling which sounds divine, rich with garlic andwalnuts
Raisins, sultanas, dates, prunes… etc. Turn the walnuts onto the oiled sheet and set aside to set. Rich, decadent and nothing short of pure Nigella style indulgence, it is a true celebration of chocolate
I cant really explain where, when or why I started hating chocolate so much, but I sure seem to be OK with it, considering I have moved on to greener (no not the healthy green) pastures and have replaced my after meal chocolate bars with a nice big bite of the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting or the dateandwalnutcake or the plain vanilla cakes (which I'm a sucker for)
here's a rare but very welcome entry from lovely Scrumptious Sally with a glorious plateful of Maple andWalnut Scones taken from Baked, New Frontiers in Baking
