Croissant


Here's yet some more food I've been making. This blog is becoming some kind of diet diary. These took ages and ages to make but the results are good. Yum

Cappelletti


This is my second try at making pasta, after my first failed miserably a couple of months ago. I was watching Masterchef which, apart from those two men with funny accents shouting at me about "BIG FLAVOURS" and how "COOKING DOESN'T GET MUCH TOUGHER THAN THIS", I think is a good show. It inspired me to make some Cappelletti (a fancy looking ravioli), and apart from not rolling the pasta out quite thin enough it worked out pretty well.

Bagels


Over the past week or so I've found myself become addicted to baking and cooking. I find the whole thing really satisfying. Here are the results of my attempt at making Bagels. I think they were nice, well my dad liked them... he said I have Jewish fingers. (is that weird?)

Brioche

I'm back at home for a few weeks away from lovely London friends and my bandmates & girlfriend, who have separately gone travelling around Europe. So feeling a tad lonely, I'm trying keep myself busy (between placements and such).

As you can see in the pic below my bedroom/mums studio is a jungle of kitchen stuff that she likes to draw and make arty things with, none of which are generally used for any cooking. So I thought I should put some of the equipment to use. Here is my first attempt at baking Brioche.


p.s. It wasn't that nice
