Clementine Bundt Cake; the dinner menu

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 24, 2019 by Katie ZellerFebruary 24, 2019
Clementine Bundt Cake

I baked a cake!

We had a few people over for dinner to celebrate Chinese New Year. I decided it would be fun to do a Chinese-style banquet.

Seemed like a good idea at the time…. I spent the entire day chopping and prepping.

Okay, it was fun but I doubt I’ll do it ever again.

The menu follows the … Continue reading.....

Apple Bread, II, the bike ride

Thyme for Cooking Posted on September 20, 2017 by Katie ZellerOctober 7, 2017
Apple Bread

This is a do-over.

I first made this Apple Bread a few years ago from a recipe I found on-line. At the time I thought it called for too much sugar (2 cups) so I cut it back to 1 cup (among other changes).

It was dry. I either baked it too long or it needed more sugar.

We don’t … Continue reading.....

Chocolate Mocha Bundt Cake with Chocolate Mocha Glaze; conspicuous consumption

Thyme for Cooking Posted on August 27, 2017 by Katie ZellerJuly 15, 2018
Chocolate Mocha Bundt Cake

My mother baked cakes.

She baked wedding cakes and groom’s cakes and birthday cakes.

Birthday cakes were always Angel Food.

I tried to explain Angel Food Cakes to a Belgian friend. It was a bit difficult as I have never made one and Europeans don’t have cakes as such, like Americans do. Cakes here are more like fruitcakes in the … Continue reading.....

Cheese and Olive Zucchini Bread; no eclipse this time

Thyme for Cooking Posted on August 23, 2017 by Katie ZellerOctober 7, 2017

This is my new favorite thing to do with zucchini.

I’m done with baking sweet zucchini breads with Chocolate or Lemon or Fall Spices.

It’s cheese and olives and herbs from now on.

Seriously…. This was really excellent.

The French actually use the word ‘cake’ – not to describe a sweet treat with frosting but for a small, savory … Continue reading.....

Plum Crisp; soy beans v sunflowers

Thyme for Cooking Posted on August 2, 2017 by Katie ZellerOctober 7, 2017

I didn’t think we were going to have a big plum harvest this year.

We walk past our biggest plum tree every morning, and, every morning, Guapa searches the lower branches for fruit.

She loves plums; she wasn’t finding any..

So I didn’t plan on making jam, or really doing much of anything with them this year. A few weeks … Continue reading.....

Strawberry Yogurt Cake with Strawberry Sauce

Thyme for Cooking Posted on May 28, 2017 by Katie ZellerFebruary 14, 2018
Strawberry Yogurt Cake

I made another cake.

Which, of course, means we had another dinner party because that is the only time I bake cakes.

I think I have found my niche as far as cakes are concerned: fruit and bundt pan.

In another life my specialty was Devil’s Food Layer Cake with Fudge Frosting but I am no longer going to subject … Continue reading.....

Old-Fashioned Gingerbread Cake; 2 turtle doves

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 2, 2016 by Katie ZellerFebruary 14, 2018

I baked a cake!

Which means I must have had another dinner party as that is the only time I make anything sweet (well, a few Christmas cookies).

I’ve been thinking about gingerbread lately. It was something my mother made often and I’ve always loved it.

But gingerbread for a dinner party?!?

Why not?

Tart it up a bit, finish … Continue reading.....

Irish Brown Soda Bread; PBS Auctions

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 23, 2016 by Katie ZellerOctober 7, 2017

I have been making this bread every week for the last 20 years or so.

I first started making it around 1992 as that is the copyright date of the cookbook I found the recipe in: “Ireland – Grand Places, Glorious Food Cookbook”.

There are 2 brown soda bread recipes in the book, both ‘traditional’ and almost identical. Both are … Continue reading.....
