Portuguese Tarts

Portugese Tarts from Cath’s Cookery Creations! | www.cathscookerycreations.com
Before I met my husband I had never eaten a Portuguese Tart.  There is a woman at our local farmers market who sells different pastries, including these little beauties and he brought one home for me to try.  Needless to say I absolutely loved it.

Jamie Oliver has a recipe for Quick Portuguese Tarts in his 30 Minute Meals cook book which we have made a couple of time that uses créme fraîche rather than making a custard and the hubby and I have made those a couple of times as they’re quite delicious.  After a recent order of my Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes, I had some leftover egg yolks so I thought I would make a more traditional Portuguese Tarts using a recipe from Bill Grainger.

Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

One of my favourite flavour combinations in this world happens to be “cookies and cream”.  Generally, if there is something cookies and cream flavoured I will try it at least once, whether it is chocolate (Hershey’s is my top pick), ice cream (Connoisseur is the ONLY brand as far as I am concerned) or as a cupcake.

Now I have tried a lot of cupcakes and am still yet to find my favourite so I thought it would be an opportune time to attempt my own Oreo cookies and cream cupcakes.

Belgian Waffles

Man v. Food has to be one of the shows that I like and hate all at the same time.  The hubby on the other hand absolutely loves it and drools with envy for every bite that Adam Richman takes.  In one of the episodes of  Man v. Food Nation (Season 1, Episode 17 for those of you playing at home), Adam visited a food truck in New York by the name of Wafles and Dinges where they serve traditional Belgian waffles topped with everything under the sun including a pulled pork combination which immediately won the hubby’s heart.

Hence we borrowed my mother-in-law’s waffle maker and for the first time used the mancake recipe for the batter.  They were delicious, but a little heavy so the hunt was on for not only a waffle maker for us, but for a traditional Belgian waffles recipe.

Mini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins – High Tea Series (Part 3)

Mum made two different chocolate chip treats when we were kids.  My brother and I both loved the chocolate chip cookies but he was not a fan of the chocolate chip muffins, which was great for me.  From memory I think it was because of the orange flavour which is kind of funny now as he loves orange chocolate, so much so that the hubby and I gave him about five kilograms of Jaffas for Christmas a few years ago.  Needless to say, he went off orange chocolate for a while again.

For the final tier for my High Tea, I needed something small so I decided to make Mini Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins which would fit quite nicely.

Red Velvet Cupcakes and My First Blogiversary

By: Cath6 Comments

Red Velvet Cupcakes from Cath's Cookery Creations! @CathsCookeryCan you believe that on Wednesday it will be one year since I published the first post about My Best Friend’s Wedding Cake?  It is just absolutely crazy.

So for my celebratory post on my first blogiversary (as those in the biz call it) I thought I would share the cupcakes that inspired the cake that inspired the blog.  These red velvet cupcakes are always popular whenever I make them, so much so that I made over 300 of them one weekend for a bunch of my brother’s friends.  I absolutely adore everything about them.

Four (and a bit) Cheese Sauce

Four (and a bit) Cheese Sauce from Cath's Cookery Creations! @CathsCookerySo the home made soft pretzels have been a hit in our house since they made their first appearance on the weekend we celebrated our first wedding anniversary.  Since then, I believe we have made them three or four times, with two of those being a double batch (so 24 of the things).

One afternoon, we were making them for the hubby’s folks as well as a friend of his and were wanting another dipping sauce to go with the mustard.  The hubby’s choice was a cheese sauce so I ran with it.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie from Cath's Cookery Creations | www.cathscookerycreations.com
At my primary school, we often had a day or week where a particular country was the focus.  One year was the United States and in the newsletter that came around there was a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies.  As the recipe is for the most ridiculously good Chocolate Chip Cookie, since then it has been the only version that has ever been made in my family.  As they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Cinnamon Scrolls

Cinnamon Scrolls from Cath's Cookery Creations | www.cathscookerycreations.com
The first time I had cinnamon scrolls was when a friend of my brother’s came over from Canada to visit about 4 years ago.  They were the fluffiest, gooiest and most delicious cinnamon treat I had ever had.  I previously have had a love/hate relationship with cinnamon but it is now easily one of my favourite spices (it is tied for first place with nutmeg).  Of course this meant I had to track down a recipe so I could continue making these myself.
