VEGAN M’HANNCHA

I would say that I am perhaps the world’s worst person for presenting food. Shambles and mess come to mind as adjectives! And this one was no exception – BUT – for a bit of ‘look what I have done!’ and a great taste this is worth a little effort (if you have someone who will appreciate it!). And vegan too! And there might be pumpkins going cheap next week?

  • 6 apples, peeled, cored and cut into medium & even-sized chunks Which I think is about the same??

  • 80ml golden caster sugar or regular caster sugar
  • Juice of one lemon

Crumble topping:

  • 120g butter
  • 120g flour
  • 120g golden caster sugar
  • 50 – 80g sliced almonds (raw)

CHRISTMAS CAKE -2

I am thinking that I might have to make smaller ones to post this year? Although one I posted last year never arrived!? So here is the recipe which I will base what I am going to make on! Its a 6″ cake tin. Recipe

EASY CHEESE STRAWS

Quick easy and can be modified! Basic recipe.

Add chopped rosemary, basil, oregano, chilli, pepper, dried red pepper, olives, onions, dried tomato. I might have a go at a variety tomorrow!

CAKES

I am looking at the moment – thinking about a basic cake mixture with ground nuts and something fragrant. I guess a lemon icing will always cover up mistakes? And also thinking about the moisture of fruit in a cake. And then it might be time to start a xmas cake soon.
