Ham, Corn and Polenta Muffins {gluten-free + dairy-free}

March 4, 2015

I enjoy being able to share what I know and love. Like when I was teaching English as a Second Language to adult migrants. As a native English speaker, you’re essentially passing on what you know and love about your own language (whilst trying to explain it!). The students I taught had been through so…

Carrot, Currant and Coconut Salad + a muffin recipe

February 4, 2015

I feel like I’m becoming a bit like those chefs you hear about, or those Italian mammas, who cook by feel. A wodge of that, a glug of that (as per Jamie Oliver – love him). Don’t get me wrong. I follow recipes strictly, until I know them well enough to ad lib. But this…

Chai-spiced Breakfast Muffins

January 5, 2014

I have a confession to make: I have not been eating properly. A slice or two of cake for breakfast, a few cups of tea, a hotdog for lunch… all a bit slap-dash and indulgent. As a singleton or even as a career gal, you might get away with it for a while, but as a…

Apricot Muffins – 2 ways

February 17, 2013

It must be lazy Sunday afternoons that bring on the baking mood… come to think of it, it may be a subconscious habit – because every Sunday afternoon at boarding school while the younger kids napped, I was let loose on the kitchen unsupervised. I don’t remember now what successes came out of that experience,…

Banana and Choc-chip Muffins

January 27, 2013

Who needs another muffin recipe? Well, frankly, I do! Having been disappointed with one I tried from a recent foodie magazine, I went back to an old cookbook given to me when I was a teenager, and found a perfect match! These provide several mouthfuls of the best a banana cake can offer, but in…

Raspberry Almond Muffins

September 4, 2012

Sometimes I just can’t keep well enough alone! These muffins are a riff on a classic that works… Raspberry Vanilla Muffins are also good, but somehow they never had enough texture to satisfy me. Call me a purist if you like, but muffins should be kind of healthy, and certainly contain more than one type…

Maple Syrup Muffins

October 7, 2006

Okay, so I tried the Gâteau Sirop Muffins from the Chocolate & Zucchini site, using Canadian maple syrup instead. They weren’t very impressive. The mix was far too thin; they therefore popped out on top and did not make the promised 12 muffins. But never mind – I have now had the pleasure of adjusting…
