      Granny Brampton’s Apple and Date Cake

      Somehow this post has been lost in the abyss that is my blogging folder. Written over a year ago, it’s nigh on time to share it with you. And fitting too – we’re off down the coast for a few days, staying at a friend’s holiday shack.  We undertook a similar venture this time last year and among the many items we baked to take with us, this Apple and Date Cake was one of them (only thing was it didn’t last long because we were all too greedy). Although it won’t be accompanying us on this particular trip who knows, we may make it down there – the ingredients will most certainly be packed for if the right time arises! Continue reading →

      Running in the rain raises one of the most tricky of questions in life. Is it bad for you? You’re sopping wet, you might be cold. You’re bound to get a cold. Or is it good for you? What’s a little moisture going to do? You sweat anyway! You’ve still exercised, you’re probably feeling pretty damn chuffed with yourself for going out there and battling the elements. I’m inclined to lean towards the latter – why, as long as you dry off properly once you reach shelter, there’s really no harm done. And splashing in the puddles is good for the soul, is it not? These Date, Walnut and Maple Steamed Puddings put one in a similar conundrum. Are they unhealthy? I mean, they are dessert after all. Or are they healthy, relatively speaking? Continue reading →

      What are you doing this mother’s day? Are you a cynic who slanders the mere thought of yet another commercialised holiday? Soppy cards, posh lunch deals, spa breaks, the lot. Do you quietly moan, yet celebrate it anyway in a more subtle manner? A bunch of fresh flowers or breakfast in bed. Or, do you wholeheartedly embrace the opportunity to celebrate? Flowers, cards, breakfast, lunch and a spa break to boot. I’m always torn when it comes to such events. Is it rude to ignore them? It is it an overt display of consumerism to embrace them? In the end I usually decide that ‘celebration’ is justified a) if the card is homemade (and by you, not from that funky store down the road) and b) if it involves good food (again, homemade is preferable).
