Little Lemon Courgette Cakes With Goats Cheese Icing

April 24, 2017

These were made as part of a dessert for The Supper Club. For those who don't know, Dylan and I often invite silly numbers of people around for dinner and then ply them with food and liquor until they have no choice but to roll home. Often a heavy desert is the last thing anyone wants at the end of one of these things so I opted for something lighter and less sweet than a typical stodgy pud.

Lemon and Gingerade

December 14, 2016

So somehow since my last post September suddenly turned into mid December. How did that happen? Is this what happens as you get older? Is there a cruel devil mistress out there that speeds time up as some sort of sick and twisted joke? I feel like childhood advent calendars have a lot to do with drawing out the latter months of the year - you are aware of each passing day rather than witness to a full on time blur.

Summer Lemonade

December 27, 2015

I love how the word glut is used to describe the crop from an overladen fruit tree. We raided Auntie Rachel's lemon tree and so once again we have a similar scenario one to one of my favourite books as a kid, Jam by Margaret Mahy. Mr Castle's plum tree is so full of plums that he fills every vessel in the house (from vases to tea cups) with plum jam. This is what is is like when we get an influx of lemons. Lemon curd on toast, lemon cake and now that summer is here we lemonade syrup has been added to the mix

October 14, 2015

I made this raspberry and coconut cake from a recipe my Mum gave me. She I believe got it from her friend Sue. Exact origins beyond that are unknown but regardless it is delicious.

Sweet Sweet Lemon Cake

July 19, 2015

I once read a book called The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. It was about a girl who one day developed the ability to taste the feelings people had felt whilst making food.

Little Lemon Meringue Pies

July 8, 2015

I had a hankering. A hankering for crisp pastry and rich, thick lemon curd. Lemon meringue pies up until recently had never really floated my boat. Sure they were nice but often it was just a sugar fest with some half assed lemon curd trying to convince you it was a classic worth remembering.

Apologies for the crap photos but I’d like to share the recipe for this family favourite. I’ve written about Dad’s favourite veggie casserole over on TheSupperClubKitchen.com under recipes worth sharing. It’s 90s nostalgia at
