The Cardiff Cwtch - Welsh Food, Fashion and Lifestyle
I usually bake Welshcakes on St David’s Day, but honestly, the ladies at Bakestones in Cardiff Market knock mine right off the board. They’re so good! So this year I decided to make this Welshcake Batter Fudge. It’s not the prettiest looking fudge around (just like Welshcakes aren’t exactly the prettiest cakes), but tastes just like the real deal thanks to the sultanas and a hint of mixed spice. 🙂
Firmly on the Blood Orange bandwagon and no sign of jumping off! Last week I made this really easy upside down cake and topped it with blood oranges. It’s sticky and sweet, and if you choose the juiciest blood oranges then you’ll get the prettiest topping. The hardest part is making the caramel – but really, as long as you’re not tempted to stir, it’s a doddle. 🙂
This Blood Orange Curd would be great in a cake, but a hefty dollop makes a great topping for a hot bowl of porridge. It’s got a strong, citrus taste (as you’d expect) which is sweetened slightly by the addition of a little rosewater. Just in time for a Valentines Day breakfast in bed. ♡
I absolutely love cauliflower in a curry (my mother-in-law makes the best Aloo Gobi) and Chana Masala is always on the menu if we eat out at an Indian restaurant. So, why not put the two together, eh? This cauliflower and chickpea curry is a quick and easy meal to whip up, and a damn tasty treat for lunchtimes when you fancy something warm and comforting to eat. 🙂
I think 2018 will be remembered as the year I officially, head over heels fell in love with Thai food. It’s fresh and filling and colourful (I don’t know about you, but colourful food cheers me up this time of year); more importantly, it’s so quick and easy to make! Pad Thai (♡♡♡) and Massaman Curry […]
