Love cooking for others, especially baking, but find I have little time for it. Bias towards organic, local and healthy. Grow as much of own veg as possible (time a factor yet again). Started my blog a few months ago to give me an incentive to fit some baking in each week.

Thanks for befriending me on this site, Choclette - I would like a bit of your sourdough starter if we ever get the chance to meet - I love the idea of a bread being propagated like that amongst people. Sounds like a great and easy way to make bread. The idea of passing bread down for generations is just inspiring too.

I live in a part of East London with lots of ethnic shops, so easy access to some great and unusual ingredients, but we do not really have any delis: not posh enough I suppose! I do have access to all the major supermarkets, some are quite large branches too. I'm just waiting for another source of 'second day' (ie stale) croissants so I can make the Toffee Apple Croissant Pudding again!

Thanks for your comment about my Toffee Apple Croissant Pudding.
I was particularly interested in finding shops that had Dulce de Leche/Confiture du Lait on their shelves here in the UK. I did read somewhere else that you can buy it online (from Merchant Gourmet as you say), but it seems an expensive way to get just one bottle. If you happen to be going there then off the shelf in France is considerably cheaper. Confiture du Lait will be on my regular shopping list for French holidays from now on, along with the olive oil and quite a few other 'specials'.
Perhaps this recipe would entice you to open your jar and give it a go?
Enjoy!

I'll try this for the 3rd time! Not sure what I did wrong. If you got my previous reply already, please forgive me. Basically I said its amazing to get a purple tattie - I've never seen one. Do you have any pics, i'd love to see what it looks like. I was also wondering if they're more beneficial health wise, like other fruits and veg that are darker and higher in antioxidants.. very intersting. I just checked out your blog, you really do like to bake! Your choc cake looks fab and i could dive into the log too! Time for dinner methinks!
Ahhh, thank you... Yeah actually i was thinking... "Ok, im not THAT awful at it!" at least, i dont give up! That must be the most vital bit eh? You would be so proud of me now... I have been baking all day (3 loaf tins) of Banana, nut and chocolate loaf cake... It smells absolutely stunning! Am giving one to my Mum, one to the my colleagues and some to my neighbours! They are huge!!! Wow! How was your baking class??? Teach me oh grand mistress of baking! Teach me! Lol.

It was nice to see your friendly face again.
And now I can see where you picked up the vegan dish from. You must tell me how to make tempeh!
