Coffee and cake

Posted on June 18, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

Now to me a cup of coffee is a waste of time unless I’ve got something sweet to eat with it.  That something sweet really needs to be a cake or pud of some sort.  A biscuit, for example, wouldn’t really fit the bill. Saturdays and Sundays I really look forward to enjoy because I…

Nothing goes to waste in this house

Posted on June 15, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

I hate wasting any food so am always looking for ideas to use up those bits of leftovers and nothing more so than egg whites.  I seem to always have a lot of egg whites as I make my own ice cream (my signature flavour being my own rendition of “Baileys”!) which leaves me with 4…

About perfecting recipes

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

My posting on perfecting my apple pie recipe reminded me of the fact that my brother (P) reckons he has his malva pudding (a South African delicacy) down to fine art. “Practice makes perfect” were his very words to me on providing me with the recipe.  For those that aren’t familiar with what it is, it’s…

Pefecting apple pie

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

Today has been all about perfecting that apple pie that I referred to on my first ever posting on this site on 2 June (Hello World!). I am pretty pleased with the result and almost replicated the original from my friend.  I think I had chopped the apples a little bit too big so note…

First secret tea room experience

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

I went to my first secret tea room this afternoon at Cafe Nouveau (http://cafenouveau.wordpress.com/) which was a wonderful experience.  As you may see from my ‘About’ page, I am wanting to launch my own secret tea room cum cafe and this was an opportunity to see first hand how it works.  The food and company were…

More on lemon curd tarts

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

Well the lemon curd tarts survived the freezer according to the feedback I was given from unsuspecting colleagues at work (see the comments to my posting on 9 June).  From my point of view, however, the lemon curd was certainly OK but I didn’t think the pastry wasn’t as good as straight out the oven…

Lemon curd tarts

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

I have a friend coming for the weekend and was thinking about what to do for dinner this Friday night when she arrives.  It’s been a busy old week so thought about what I had in the cupboards and freezer that would be easy to put together but still equally delicious.  My immediate thought for…

Hello world!

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Chez Shamwari

I’ve been on a personal mission for probably years (as I come to think about it now) to create the ultimate apple pie.  It began with a ‘Dutch Apple Pie’ I had in South Africa some years ago but then particularly  following a more recent visit there where I had a fantastic ‘apple crumble pie’…
