Wednesday Night Pizza

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Apr 23, 2010, 1:04 pm
One of the things I dread most is a dinner rota. It's Tuesday, it must be spaghetti. Thursday night is curry. And Sunday? Sunday is the dreaded roast dinner, with the same meat and vegetables as we cooked badly last week. Individually, there's nothing wrong with any of these for dinner. The banalit...

Rhubarb & Ginger Ice Cream Tart

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Apr 5, 2010, 10:25 am
I wanted to make something with rhubarb and ginger, and I was feeling inspired by the DB tian last month. I still had some of the pastry discs leftover (they keep really well), so I decided to make something a bit similar. I stewed a little rhubarb, and then stacked this with plain ice cream (not v...

Easter Cake

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Apr 1, 2010, 2:13 pm
Having not one but two wedding cakes to make in the foreseeable future, I thought I should probably learn how to deal with fondant or royal icing. We were also visiting T's parents for Easter weekend, so I took the opportunity to make a bigger cake than I would normally and palm some of it off on th...

Orange Tian - March Daring Bakers

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Mar 26, 2010, 6:53 pm
This month's challenge almost totally passed me by, and it was only last week I remembered I had to do it! The 2010 March Daring Baker’s challenge was hosted by Jennifer of Chocolate Shavings. She chose Orange Tian as the challenge for this month, a dessert based on a recipe from Alain Ducasse...

Indulgent Chocolate Mousse

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Mar 26, 2010, 12:26 pm
Part of the reason I find myself flipping through Leith's quite so often is that it's great for basic recipes. It's Delia for people who know how to boil an egg. After a batch of meringues left me with several egg yolks, I sought out a recipe for a classic chocolate mousse. Rich chocolate mousse - ...

Black and White Shortbread

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Mar 24, 2010, 10:33 am
I have been shying away from some of the more frivolous cookbooks in my collection, and find myself returning again and again to the Leith's Cookery Bible. I quite like the way pages upon pages of it are filled with French sounding dishes I've never even heard of. The first chapters give advice on h...

Australia Highlights

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Mar 20, 2010, 1:48 pm
The worst part about holidays is when you have to come back. After several flights, 47 hours without sleep, and a rather large duty free bag full of TimTams, we arrived back to a rather cold and gray Edinburgh. Without the motivation of sunshine and new cities to explore, I have been rather slow to ...

Hot Spiced Mead - A Winter Warmer Cocktail

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Jan 25, 2010, 4:15 pm
Although the German market in Edinburgh disappeared long ago, the Highland market was around until New Year. When we visited on New Year's Day, we all had sore throats from the partying the night before, as well as sore heads. After some tasty burgers from Well Hung & Tender, we found a stall selli...

Duck Confit

Jenny Red Mangetout posted an article on - Jan 23, 2010, 9:37 am
I have been fighting the urge for the last month to make endless puns about Cold Confit Farm, and seeing something nasty in the fridge. While T is a knowledgeable type, unfortunately this knowledge does not include pre-war satirical novels. Or iconic French ways with water fowl. When I first suggest...
