Baking challenge #5, 6, 7 & 8 – partial failure, almost total failure, failure and success!
Never knew that baking could make me depressed but when things don’t work out the way I want, I’ve discovered that it really gets to me. I was trying to be creative for my ‘no-sugar, no-wheat, no-other-stuff friend’ and used … Continue reading
Baking challenge #4 – Honey pecan cookies
Less than one week till my ‘no-sugar, no-wheat’ friend is coming. Tried yet another recipe. Found the recipe for these honey pecan cookies here (it’s actually a recipe from this book) The cookies are easy to prepare and taste very … Continue reading
Baking challenge #3 – Dried fruit muffins
Still trying my best to come up with tasty (sugar-free & wheat-free) recipes for my friend that is coming over in a week and a half. I found this recipe of dried fruit muffins but wasn’t really sure if I … Continue reading
Baking challenge #2 – Total failure!
Just to let you know, challenge #2 for cookies without sugar and wheat failed miserably. I used the recipe for Dutch ‘sand’ cookies (caster sugar, butter, flour). Except of course I wasn’t using regular flour and no sugar. I used … Continue reading

Baking challenge #1 – Walnut-honey cookies
In a few weeks two friends will be staying with us for a week. Obviously I will be doing some baking for them. The only problem is that one of my friends has quite a few products that she is … Continue reading
SHF#17 – Malabi
Thought I’d make a local dairy specialty for this SHF: malabi as it is called in Hebrew. It’s a milk pudding thickened with rice flour and flavoured with rose water or orange flower water. In the rest of the Middle … Continue reading

Chocolate fugde squares
Not everyone agrees with me on this cookie but I absolutely love the simple buttery shortbread crust with the somewhat sticky toffee-like chocolate topping. Adriaan for one isn’t a big fan. He thinks I use too much topping for the … Continue reading
Like Bastogne cookies?
In one of my first posts I mentioned that I would try my ginger nuts recipe with cinnamon instead of ginger. The idea was to imitate Bastogne cookies…I did and they were actually pretty close, taste-wise that is. I changed … Continue reading
