Summer Salads

More things with pork and massaman

Pork and fennel roast. I’ve cooked this pork a few times now with a piece of around 1kg roasting pork from the local butcher (which appears to be a transverse slice of pork leg). I take the skin layer with half the fat off first, cut this into slices, salt, and put on a rack over …

Pea and Ham Soup

Chinese Lunar New Year Cake

H did some fast talking, and we agreed to make New Year cake.  I used this recipe.  I bought the wrong type of rice flour, but it still worked and was palatable.   I wonder if the different flour would change the consistency, as I had to add a lot of water to get the mix …

Big Crumb Coffee Cake

All Hail Smitten Kitchen.  This was a really great use of Rhubarb.  The only downside was it used 4 (!) mixing bowls.  A special occasion cake for guests, not an everyday cake.  Froze and thawed very well. ‘Big Crumb’ Coffeecake with Rhubarb Adapted from The New York Times 6/6/07 Butter for greasing pan For the rhubarb …
