  • Grape & Persimmon Fruit Platter

    Grape & Persimmon Fruit Platter

    I love the light of the summer season! The days are so long here now. With only a couple of weeks to the summer solstice, the sun sets at 10 pm, only to come up again at 3.30 am. Quite the opposite of the short, dark winter days. The light makes me want to take… Read more »

    I’m all about rhubarb this time of the year. Still waiting for my plants to grow stronger so I can start picking stems from them.

  • Apple & Carrot Muffins

    Apple & Carrot Muffins

    My youngest son asked for muffins the other day. It was a weekday, so I didn’t want them to be too sweet, but more like an afternoon energy boost. So together we improvised these apple and carrot and cinnamon muffins, which turned out really good. (In “together” I mean that I managed the measurements and… Read more »

  • Rhubarb Rolls

    Rhubarb Rolls

    These rolls are just lovely. I used my usual sweet yeast bread recipe, and filled it with a rhubarb compote. A couple of chopped up rhubarb stalks (not from my own garden, they’re not ready for picking just yet), some brown sugar and a dash of water, simmered until it started to thicken a little.… Read more »

  • Plum Crumble Bars

    Plum Crumble Bars

    As you may or may haven’t noticed, I’ve been a bit quite here lately. I simply haven’t had the time or energy to cook and post as usual. I hope to take it up again more regularly soon. But here’s another problem when I finally get around to posting – my memory is failing me!… Read more »
