Pink Whisk: April 2009

http://pinkwhisk.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 13, 2009. One a Penny, Two a Penny. It wouldn't be Easter without some Hot Cross Buns. This recipe come from Delia's "Complete Cookery Course" and is also available. I made a double batch and I doubled the quantity of mixed peel also. If you can buy the peel that comes as a large piece that you chop yourself - much better flavour and a lot less dried out.

Pink Whisk: December 2008

http://pinkwhisk.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 26, 2008. My Dad rang me in a bit of a panic on Christmas Eve "I can't find Mrs. Dunbar's pastry recipe", having made six dozen mince pies the previous weekend I could rattle this one off the top of my head. Has matured nicely, much more moist than the commercial variety with an added citrusy kick. Makes enough for 15 mince pies. 8oz of plain flour. 2oz of icing sugar. 1 tbsp ice-cold water. 1 tsp lemon juice. Whisk together egg yolk, water and lemon juice. Links to this post. For me a c...

A moist firm crumb which holds it's shape when cut and improves with age. It comes from Dorie Greenspan's Baking which I picked up on my trip to Houston.

Pink Whisk: March 2009

http://pinkwhisk.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 11, 2009. I bought a large jar or preserved lemons a few weeks ago and I was keeping my eyes peeled for a recipe to try them out when I spotted. When I picture preserved lemons I instinctively think of Moroccan spicy food but it works really well in this dish, adding that little something which lifts it up from a mundane, everyday kind of stew. There was a lot of meat on our shanks and there was plently of sauce and vegtables to give me two extra dinners for the freezer.
