Feliç Diada de Sant Jordi! Happy St George's! 🌹🐉😊Lovely wandering around. Stalls in the street with books and roses. Here in Catalunya, when George killed the Dragon, its blood turned into a rose, which he gave to the princess he'd saved. And it's also International Book Day! All one lovely festival, with some images of a dragon smelling a rose or reading a book.😉🌹📚🐲 Bought special Sant Jordi bread and a rose cake.
My Saint's bones cookies are knobbly! 🤣 Joining @homemadeloversss cookie party hosted by @uulfarandfavian Thank you! 😍Typical Spanish Easter or All Saints Day treats from medieval times: homemade marzipan tubes filled with egg yolks cooked with sugar syrup. Sweet enough so didn't glaze them. And, as previously mentioned, they're knobbly and misshapen, so look like bones...? 🤷‍♀️😄 Absolutely delish in a naturally calorific kind of way.😋 Will make again... Hope your weekend's been lovely.🙋‍♀️☀️💛
How to make a Japanese Strawberry Sando - it's hard work putting cream, yoghurt and strawberries in a sandwich! Not. 😉 But so delicious! Swipe to see process. Just need a good (Japanese) milk bread or brioche and to remember which way the strawberries are positioned - or go in later, poking with your finger to find out.🤦‍♀️☝️🍓🤣 No waste - serve creamy crusts with extra fruit.
Strawberry Sando! Basically a Japanese fruit sandwich with whipped cream and a little optional rum (plus some natural greek yoghurt). 😋🍞🍓 Joining @homemadeloversss Fruit Creations party hosted by @rabbitcanbake Thank you! 😘 See more at #hlfunbake222 Hope you've been having a great weekend! 🙋‍♀️🍓☀️💕
A bit of Easter food, walking, climbing and tourism! A good Easter Monday 😊🌷☀️ Walked the 20 minutes very steep uphill (getting fitter, didn't almost die this time) from my flat to Gaudi's Parc Guell. Took photo of homemade spotty chestnut paste filled hot cross bun (view of tibidabo). Climbed - traversed - a bit on the wall at the side. Walked along paths. Discovered I could get into Parc Guell free with my Barcelona library card!!! Yay! 🎉😊 And so peaceful - no people getting in the way of my mosaic Dragon photo! Rewarded myself with local Easter treats:
My first mini mimosa cake... dressed up like a Mona de Pascua with chocolate eggs and feathers - traditional here in Catalunya at Easter. 🐣🥚Will make mimosa cake again - lovely, light and fluffy with Genoise sponge layered with invented custard powder butter cream. Then covered in little squares of Genoise to look like a mimosa flower! 🌾🙋‍♀️💛

Brioche rolls
Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.

Apple tarte tatin with Chinese five spices and Tamarind with maple syrup caramel
A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.
