I’ve had a bit of a foodie weekend. On Saturday I went to the St Fagans Food Festival at the National History Museum<\/a>. I met up with Amy from Grainy’s Garden<\/a> and her other half Stephen<\/a> for lunch and a walk around the stalls. It was a fab afternoon but I forgot to take any pictures! In my defence it was boiling hot! I only came away with one purchase, some smoked paprika panchetta. Haven’t decided what I’ll use it in just yet. Possibly a quiche or in a pasta sauce. I love smoked paprika!<\/p>\n

Sunday, I made one of my regular trips to Riverside Market<\/a>. It’s a great little market and it’s the best place to buy cut flowers. So much nicer than the super markets. I particularly like the Pencoed Growers stall and while my flowers were being wrapped I saw that they had some raspberries. I rarely seem to find raspberries in the supermarkets, they seem to concentrate more on fruits like strawberries and blueberries, so I picked up a punnet.<\/p>\n

I originally planned to make a crumble but when I googled for Nigel Slater recipes I came a cross a couple of mentions<\/a> of his Victoria and Raspberry Tray Bake<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0It’s a very moist cake requiring almost a full pack of butter and four large eggs. \u00c2\u00a0So moist in fact that it broke in half when I attempted to extract it from the\u00c2\u00a0silicone\u00c2\u00a0“tin”.<\/p>\n

It’s very good but also very rich. I’m going to take one half into work tomorrow and will freeze some of the remainder. I think it would work very well with ice cream.<\/p>\n

Last week I mentioned that I was working on a secret knitting project. This is part of it.<\/p>\n

I still have more work to do on it, it now looks very different, but it won’t be too long until it’s ready for its recipient \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
