Chocolate ganache cake

In college:

chocolate sponges, raspberry jam filling, chocolate ganache topping, decorated with ganache rosettes and spun chocolate.
Must own up that the chocolate rosettes and spun chocolate was done by my excellent tutor.

spelt bread and raspberry redcurrant jam

This morning started bright and hazy both. Sunshine slanting through the flat.

I made toast with my spelt loaf and remembered my sister's raspberry and redcurrant jam.
My loaf, my sister's jam. This is brilliant.

Herbs are settling in to their new home on the balcony. Lets see how long it takes the leaf hoppers to find the sage.

lemon drizzle and cassoulet

in college:
Lemon drizzle cake -
lemon sponge with lemon glace icing. Looked great! Made 3 sandwich cakes which were shipped off to the magical 'Stores'. Must find a way of retrieving cakes from the Stores.

at home:
Cheese scones - were slightly too shallow - but taste great. Make sure dough is 1inch thick next time
White spelt bread - needed slightly longer in the oven. but good crumb. tasted very yeasty tho', need to work on that flavour.
Lemon cake - repeat of what was made in college.

Cassoulet with celeriac and potato mash:
Pork and fennel huge sausage from Bath Farmer's market - really excellent.
Butter beans and cannelini beans - soaked from dry.
Also used up bacon and chipolatas in the fridge.
Celeriac went very nicely with the fennel in the sausage.
