Candied Orange & Lemon Peels































Made with organic orange and lemon skins, using Terence Conran's recipe book. I also made chocolate coated ones, hoping that they may taste like the Amorino Chocolate from Paris.

美味しい廃物利用。

Beaufield Mews

















Went to Beaufield Mews where my friend had a wedding reception. This is where we had our wedding reception 9 years ago, and my friend and his then girl friend were our guests, too.

The food was lovely (just like 9 years ago!). And it's very near our house, only 10 minutes' drive.

家が近いんだからもっと行きたい。レストランだけではなくアンティークやアートのディーラーでもある。

Black Sole (Dover Sole)


















Cooked black sole I got in the Farmers' Market, using Carol Tennant's recipe.
It was very tasty :-))

イギリスではDover Soleとも呼ばれ、日本語では「ミナミシマウシノシタ」というらしい。

Marron Chocolate Daifuku

























A gift from a Japanese friend of mine. Daifuku is one of the traditional Japanese sweets. I'm not particularly mad about traditional Japanese sweets, but this one was nice as there was no aduki bean custard, and has a chocolate flavour.

餅、団子、饅頭、栗が苦手な夫も美味しいと絶賛した!

My French friend brought this from Paris. It's very nice.

Homemade Bread

















The breadmaker has been failing for the past several times, so I baked bread manually. It turned out really nice. The key might be shifting the flour.

見かけは悪いが美味しかった。ブレッドメーカーは買い直す必要ありかも...。

Homemade Doughnuts














Used mashed potatoes, following the recipe by Linda Collister.
This is one of my favourite doughnuts recipes.
Yum!!

小泉今日子演じる母親が「ドーナツ作ったのー」と言ってるのに
誰も食べてくれなかったところをふと思い出した。
