A short while ago I read on Not Quite Nigella about Salted Bacon Honey Maple Caramel and I was very intrigued but I wasn’t too sure about making caramel out of condensed milk. Fortunately David Lebovitz published a recipe for Salted Butter Caramels just the other day. I decided to try his recipe and to combine it with some crispy bacon.
I really like Thai food and never can get enough of it. A while ago I did a Thai cooking class which was great fun. I learned to cook a variety of different dishes like curries, stir fries, salads and more. One of the things I learned to cook was fish cakes, which I like a lot. I often cook this dish as a starter when friends come round for dinner and over time I’ve varied the original recipe and adjusted it to my taste.
My mum made always bread herself, so I’m quite familiar with the process of bread making. I never really made it by myself as it looked like quite a bit of work.
A few summers ago I found a very interesting recipe for bread in a newspaper. It’s called ‘No-Kneed Bread’ and it’s very easy. With this recipe I made bread quite a few times and it was just delicious. Unfortunately, since we moved I haven’t made a single bread and I thought this would be a good occasion to get back into bread making and to introduce you to the ‘no-kneed’ bread recipe. This is my version of the ‘No-Kneed Bread’.
Jamie Oliver has these really nice recipes in his cook books for making your own pasta. Even though I love cooking I never tried it so far. It looks like quite a bit of effort for not a lot of outcomes. But since the outcomes of my weekend tasks matters less then the fun I had a go at it and I made my own ravioli.
