Foraging For Food: Crystalized Lavender
| May 29, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Spring, Summer |
We moved into a new house this week, and when I say it’s been mayhem and madness, I’m not joking. I’ve spent five days unpacking boxes, and it feels like I’ve barely made a dent. I’m sure it’ll all come together in one smooth motion but till then, I’ve had little to no time for… more

For the time being our weeks have taken on a distinctly domestic flavour. We’re preparing for our next trip in October, so laying low for the moment, saving up and living frugally. But even so, friends need to be seen, family visited and life must continue, so the odd slow at home day is always… more
Just have to Share – Lemon/Orange Muffins
| April 11, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
A blogger that I regularly read, Joxy from Free Range Family, recently posted these beautiful orange muffins. I had to share them with you. I’ve also replaced the oranges juice and zest with pureed apple & cinamon (my favourite!) and with liquidised bananas. They were fabulous and they freeze and defrost really well too. Try… more
Just Have to Share – Chocolate Spoons for Coffee or Chocolate Milk
| April 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Seasonal Cooking |
I love these super simple chocolate spoons. They are a lovely final ‘ooohhh’ at the table after a dinner party, and make a luxurious hot chocolate when added to hot milk. You can also melt the chocolate and pour in to molds with a swivel stick in the centre if you have suitable supplies. more

We had a slightly busier week, although illness is still firmly imprinted on our household. Nonetheless, a visit to the in-laws in Somerset, a quick stop-in at a local art gallery, a trial day in cloth nappies and a product launch for shoes to make you skinny while eating cupcakes made it all pass really… more
Just Have to Share – Easter Egg Nests
| March 28, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Kids in the Kitchen, Seasonal Cooking |
These are really simple, easy and quick to do. With a little supervision, these are great to do with toddlers too. Last year I wedged a name card between the two eggs in the nest for Easter Sunday lunch place settings and they served as lovely table decoration tooas well as an after desert snack. more

I seem to be saying that I’ve had a dull week quite a lot lately, yet when I look at the pictures, there always seems to be things happening in my life. Although we’ve been overwhelmed by the world’s worst case of ‘teething baby’, and fevers and stomach bugs in all three of us, we… more
Just Have to Share – Cardamom Braid
| March 14, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
One of my favourite things in the world is the smell of freshly baked bread. And this here is no ordinary bread. Although primarily known for its use in Indian cooking, cardamom is also used in Scandinavian and Finnish sweet breads, such as this one. Beautiful warm or cold with butter, this is a treat… more

Just Have to Share – Gran’s Flop Proof Chocolate Cake

I had a proper old fashioned kitchen tea when I got married, with broom dancing and games and so on. All the older ladies gave me their ‘life saving’ recipes to take forward with my own family. I put them in a folder and never looked at them again for years, until recently.
I came across the folder and found this recipe. Since then, I have made it in to cupcakes, individual sized mini cakes, a single layer cake, a double layer cake with jam and icing in the middle and a marbled cake. I am notoriously bad for flopping cakes, and this one, I never have.
