A couple of home made loaves alongside a lovely pan full of equally home made spaghetti sauce!
The loaf is still rustic but with a different finish
Made a couple of loaves of rustic bread earlier this week. Same recipe as last time except I brushed them with egg wash rather than dusting with flour. Not only did these ones look lovely but they tasted even better than last time! If you haven’t tried this yet, you MUST make your own bread [...]
Super simple Rustic Bread
There is nothing like the taste and texture of fresh baked bread, yet few people actually make their own bread. Why? Well, if they are anything like me, they are terrified of the process.

Big naan on campus
This will be the second batch of naan that I have made at home. Everyone else in the FAB Whitby kitchen thought my first attempt was awesome, but I was nonplussed.

Easy apps: Crostini

Remember my wannabe Food Network Chef, some of the best food on the planet is simple! [...]
Kid friendly party food: Pizza Boats
Having spent too much time in front of the computer one day last week, Mamma Gee and I retired to the anti chamber, whereupon we commenced channel surfing. As there were no vampire shows on, the remote magically made its way to SpeedTV. Imagine that! We came across The Racing Chef and since combining food [...]
