  • Marmalade-roasted chicken legs & squash

      Recipe uses 100g of sugar, which I halved. It was still sticky and delicious, I think that the extra sugar would have made it far too sweet. Perhaps add some chilli flakes next time

      This is one of those weird recipes where individually the parts are not so good, but together they sing. Was getting worried because I taste-tested the butternut and it was bland, and the chicken was also meh. But eating them together (chicken plopped on top of butternut with the sauced drizzled over too with that dollop of yogurt) was insanely delicious.

  • Carrot cake

      This cake is quick to make and utterly delicious. BUT... the recipe says to pre-heat the oven to 150C and toast the pecan nuts, before putting the cake in the oven. Nowhere does it say one needs to increase the temperature, which did seem low to me, for the actually cake. Unsurprisingly, after 45 minutes the cake had risen but was completely raw inside. I upped the temperature to 180C and baked for another 20-25 minutes. It was very soft and very moist, and broke a bit when I took it out of the tin. I will make it again - it really is delicious - but will up the temperature to 180C from the start because 150C simply can't be right (annoying!).
