This weekend I won't have Eden with me so that will give me some time to experiment with some new recipes. I already have one in my head for a coffee and walnut cake that I want to try to see if it will work and I will also be making some bread and rolls.
Every so often, I like to have a good cooking session so that I can put things in the freezer which saves me time in the week so that I can do other things.
I don't know if anyone else is like me, but I have loads of cookery books which I love to look through and very often I will see a recipe that I would like to try so I make a mental note of the ingredients and method so that I have a rough idea of what I'm doing, then I do my own thing with it so that it suits me. The recipe may not be totally original but the finished dish certainly is.
Of course, there are some things that are easy such as pies, both sweet and savoury, because if you can make a pastry you can't really go wrong and a Victoria sponge mixture is also very versatile for cakes both large and small.
The easiest thing of all though is soup so I will be making a winter vegetable one on Saturday but as for the other recipes, I haven't yet decided. I think I may spend a little time rummaging in the freezer tomorrow to see what I can transform as I know I have some things that haven't been made into dishes yet.
