For the love of food
A couple of weeks ago when we had our big couples (plus a few bubbas) long weekend at the coast, the messages started flying earlier in the week. Can you guess what they were about? I’ll give you a hint – you eat it. Yep if you guessed food you were correct. Of course, despite […]
Apart from the fact that this bread was so good it doesn’t need any fancy styling to detract from the star of the show, there is a reason for its severe lack of styling. Friday morning I woke up feeling quite off. I decided to ditch my walk. I felt like I really needed to […]
Last week I admitted that when I started blogging three years ago, I didn’t know the difference between a macaron and a macaroon. Quite a few people commented admitting that they didn’t know the difference either. Not to worry – my basic rule is macarons are those fancy french airy biscuit sandwiches that come in […]
Essential to a good pulled pork slider is a nice soft, fluffy bread roll and you all know I couldn’t bare to buy them. I actually think I’m quite addicted to bread baking. I just love how you can mix up such simple ingredients and hours later have fresh bread. Bread! I’ve been making my […]
When I used to work in an office I had that dilemma. It’s the dilemma that non-coffee drinkers combined with cheapos suffer from. Whenever we’d go out for coffee meetings it would tear me to have to order a green tea and pay at least $4 for something that was invariably just a supermarket tea […]
I really should have called my friend Miss Victoria, Kiwi being the good Kiwi she is. She introduced me to quite a manner of exciting New Zealand things like the Edmond’s Cookery Book which I fell in love with after the first recipe. Remember Afghan cookies? If you don’t then you must check them out. […]
Without a doubt, the question I get asked the most is ‘what do you do with all the food you make, you clearly don’t eat it all?’ It’s a tough one to answer really. If it’s dinner-type food that can be frozen, usually it ends up in our freezer for quick, easy meals and so […]
I mentioned last Secret Recipe Club post that I have a bit of a tough time every month. Each month when I get my assignment I got straight to the blog and start browsing. Usually I end up with quite a few pages open and I narrow it down then a few days later I […]
It’s Secret Recipe Club time again! This month I was extra excited because I was assigned to the blog of our host Jane. Over on The Heritage Cook, Californian Jane seems to be as in love with cooking and baking as I am. She has a bit more experience than me and shares lots of […]
It has been a relatively quiet week here after having a lovely visitor at the end of last week but of course that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been any baking. Stay tuned for the recipe for these cinnamon buns. They smelled so amazing when I took them out of the oven I had to have […]
Morning everyone. I’m not home today, I’m off visiting Kirstin from Miss Foodie and sharing around my classic lemon slice. Please pop in and say hi and share a square.
Usually, recipe creation in the Claire K Creations kitchen is a solo affair and on the odd occasion I have a little help from the husband. I don’t mind it this way, I sort of get into a kitchen ‘zone’ before I know it I’m gobbling down something delicious which, if a baked good, is […]
