The toffee apple and pecan cake was the recipe of November in the BBC GoodFood Calendar. It was an interesting cake – taste wise not quite like anything I’ve had before. The filling was delicious, and I made double on the advice of the comments at the site, but if I make it again, I… Continue reading BBC GoodFood Calendar November

BBC GoodFood Calendar October
The picture here looks less than appetising – but the Butternut Dauphinoise that was the October recipe from the BBCGoodFood Calendar was really tasty. I did not have thyme, so I added rosemary instead. It’s really a cheesy side dish (works well together with either salmon fillets or chicken), that is perfect for the autumn.
BBC GoodFood Calendar September
I have officially eaten waaay too much of this tray bake. I first had one slice. Then another couple of slices as I was catching up on the dessert episode of The Great British Bake Off – and then I needed another slice as Iain’s ice cream disappeared into the trash bin. I feel too… Continue reading BBC GoodFood Calendar September
BBC GoodFood Calendar August
I never got around to making the recipes for June and July in the calendar. Basically, in June I was trying to get as much of Oslo in as I could, grading final exams and moving. In July, it was insanely hot. I spent as little time as possible in the kitchen. August’s recipe… Continue reading BBC GoodFood Calendar August
May recipe: BBC GoodFood calendar
I originally thought that the BBC GoodFood May Calendar recipe would be perfect for when I had a friend to stay for the month – she is a pescetarian. And the recipe is called Simple Salmon with spring pasta. Unfortunately for her, the fact was that this is wrapped in prosciutto. So I ended up making… Continue reading May recipe: BBC GoodFood calendar
April recipe: BBC GoodFood calendar
My original plan was to make all the recipes in the BBC GoodFood Calendar for 2014. I have done well so far – three meals for three months. But somehow I failed when it came to April’s recipe. It is these Hot Cross Bun Cupcakes. There were multiple reasons for the failure. I had a… Continue reading April recipe: BBC GoodFood calendar
March recipe: BBC GoodFood Calendar
The March Recipe from the BBC GoodFood was this Lamb & Mango Curry. My local store did not have any lamb that wasn’t super expensive, so I replaced it with pork. Without any issues. Minimal work, mostly it “makes itself” in the oven. The curry actually really needs the mango to be interesting. A small… Continue reading March recipe: BBC GoodFood Calendar
February recipe – BBC GoodFood Calendar
The February recipe in the BBC GoodFood calendar was the Squidgy chocolate & pomegranate torte. My pomegranate wasn’t tasting as it should, so what ended up on the table was just the torte itself with the ganache. I also don’t have access to a food processor at the moment, so I used my blender to… Continue reading February recipe – BBC GoodFood Calendar
January recipe – BBC GoodFood calendar
With the December issue of BBC GoodFood came their calendar for 2014 as well. It’s a nice enough basic calendar, with one thing that elevates it – it has amazing pictures, and one recipe per month. For January the recipe was Kale and Chorizo hash. With a fried egg on top. Personally, I don’t care for… Continue reading January recipe – BBC GoodFood calendar
