Baking Day!

I love baking and collecting vintage cookbooks and recipe leaflets. I rarely use modern recipes now so really should pass on those I don't use. 

My latest find is this one for Trex...

This cooking fat is ideal for Daisy as its dairy free. I've been using it to improve my pastry as the sunflower marg I use for cakes makes the pastry too soft. 

Today I baked two recipes out of this little book...

Coconut muffins

A moist ginger cake

Sadly I had to open the oven as the muffins were catching so it did sink in the middle but the outside is lovely, really sticky! Since cooling I've sprinkled it with icing sugar...yummy!

We had this oven baked chicken at lunchtime. It was delicious. 

I'm going to try to remember to photograph my cooking and baking more.

It's been so busy here with my new venture and everyday life but soon I'll be ready to share this with you all.
