http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/06/one-for-fins.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. One for the Fins. At least, this is what the fella told me. "You should try real Finnish bread," he informed me, "but this is pretty good". Makes a solid loaf. 225 g rye flour. 300 g white flour. 7 g dried yeast. 1 tbs dark brown sugar. 2 good pinches of salt. 300 ml warm water. 1 tbs melted butter. Pre-heat oven to 190* c. Line a baking tray with paper. Bake in your heated oven for 45 or so minutes, until cooked through. Leave to cool and eat with joy.

http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/05/healthy-breakfast-considered.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. A healthy breakfast considered. Quick and easy breakfast solutions. I have searched for them, have you? Toast on the run, done. Cereal when you arrive at work. Fruit smoothy with some muesli thrown in. Pancakes on weekends. Bacon and eggs. Bagels, etc, etc. Made with breakfast cereal, these muffins could be considered healthy. Bran and sultanas, super healthy. With fresh fruit also! Sultana Bran and Pear Muffins. Around 1 3/4 c sultana bran, or similar cereal.

The Owl in the Kitchen: November 2009
http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Raspberry cake for morning tea. When something is made twice in one week, it must be good. And this cake certainly is. Why I've not made it before now, I'm really not sure. There are only good things about it - lots of butter and sugar, zing from some raspberries, light texture, made in a decorative tin. Please enjoy with a cup of tea. Serves up to 10. 250 g butter, softened. 1 ½ c sugar. 1 tsp vanilla essence. 2 ½ c plain flour. 2 c frozen raspberries.

http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/05/knocking-on-about-gnocchi.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Monday, May 24, 2010. Knocking on about gnocchi. Simply years ago I made gnocchi. When I was a girl and dreaming of falling in love with an Italian man and living in Florence. The gnocchi was copious in abundance, stodgy and lumpy. The Italian man never eventuated. While at boarding school I ate my share of gnocchi. It came from a packet and was served on Friday nights with an out-of-a-can tomato sauce. While I thought I loved it, in reality it tasted ordinary. Serves up to 6.

http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/05/whole-oranges-for-afternoon-tea.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Sunday, May 9, 2010. Whole oranges for afternoon tea. Afternoon tea just demands a little mouthful of goodness, doesn't it? Something that is light but sweet, that slips down with a cup of something hot. That gives you a little energy to get through to your evening meal. But does not send you off into a siesta. Whole Orange and Raspberry Cupcakes. Makes 28 or so. 1 3/4 c plain flour. 3 tsp baking powder. 3/4 c raspberries (frozen is fine). In a food processor, blitz the oranges un...

http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Cinnamon coffee buns with a twist. Speaking of the Finns, let's talk coffee buns. And coffee. These are fiddly to make. And they take time. But you make so many. And they are so delicious. A little taste of Finland. Makes up to 3 dozen. 100 g caster sugar. 2 small dsp dried yeast. 1 egg, lightly beaten. 125 g butter, softened. 2 tsp cardamon seeds, ground (ideally in a mortar and pestle). 2 tsp ground cinnamon. 50 g caster sugar, extra, plus a little more.

The Owl in the Kitchen: Choc chip cookies continued...
http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/05/choc-chip-cookies-continued.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Friday, May 28, 2010. Choc chip cookies continued. Previous posts have documented a quest for the choc chip cookie to be perfected. Perhaps my problem with this quest starts with the fact that in Aus, I should be searching for a choc chip bickie not cookie! I think not. The mix can be temperamental at times. With flat, fuzzy edged biscuits. Or hard as little frisbees if given a few minutes too long. But when they work, oh they are good! I hope you have success with these. Cook in ...

The Owl in the Kitchen: April 2010
http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Some times you just need a snack, a little bit of something to see you though. Right? But what if your fridge has only a scrap of cheese? Or if your bread is stale? Or if there is no fruit? Or if someone bought the wrong crackers from the shops on their last shopping adventure? What do you do? Given that we love a pre-dinner snack, with a drink too, I've come up with these babies. Home made crackers. Am I crackers? Makes a tray full - maybe 24 or so.

The Owl in the Kitchen: Parmigiana if you please...
http://theowlinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/05/parmigiana-if-you-please.html
The Owl in the Kitchen. Friday, May 28, 2010. Parmigiana if you please. Not that I've not made parmas before. But it looked so enticing. And the fella was hanging out for one, in fact longing for one, refusing to eat at places that don't serve it (thus rejecting both Subway for a quick feed and the local pizza place). What else could I do but make one? To quieten him at least! And I am glad that I did. For this recipe is a winner. I will make it again any day. Thank you Mr Oliver! Serves 2, double for 4.
