Tropical Fruit Pastilles

IMG_8069Yesterday was a shining example of what a typical Saturday in the life of Angela Carvalho entails.

It’ll start with the intention of being super productive or creating something (doing blog related things, drawing something, recording songs/playing guitar, going out to London etc)… yet, somehow I always end up at my cousin Darzi’s house playing video games and making her food. She clearly knows that the mere mention of a food will have me craving it and wanting to make it. She knows me too well.

Take yesterday for example, I went to Darzi’s with the intention of recording songs, but somehow she managed to convince me we needed to make fruit pastilles instead. Obviously.

To be honest, I guess the two of us had been talking about making fruit pastilles ever since we saw SORTEDfood‘s recipe for berry flavoured Fruit Gums a couple weeks ago… so it was going to happen eventually. Seriously, I dare you to watch that video and not want to make them!Continue reading “Tropical Fruit Pastilles”

PANCAKES!!

pancakes2This is hands down one of the best days of the year.

I mean, an excuse to cook up all the sinfully delicious ingredients in your kitchen… AT ONCE? I’m not complaining.

Looking for some inspiration?

Mancakes! – bacon, chocolate chips, peanut butter, whisky-spiked maple syrup, and EVEN MORE BACON. These are definitely one of my faves!

Semla! – Swedish cardamom spelt buns filled with an almond and orange blossom filling. Oh. My.

HAPPY PANCAKE DAY!

IMG_7922Ok, where did January go?

Seriously, did last month not feel like it just flew by? I mean, we didn’t even post anything and it’s so shameful it hurts.

2015, slow down and give us a chance will ya?!

Anyways, February is now upon us and that means that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. <Insert excessive hearts, flowers, cards and chocolates here>

Now I must admit, I can be a bit of a Valentine’s Day cynic at the best of times (see last years Raspberry Rose Buns post)… however this year I decided to spread the love by making a little something for all the important people in my life, just to remind them I care.

Basically, buying them with food. I’m such a caring person.

 

So, jumping on the red velvet bandwagon…
