To ask you to show me your baking/food?

[incognitomum]

I'm using up some over ripe bananas and have a spice banana loaf in t'oven. I'll post a pic when it's out of the tin. As long as it doesn't look like the dog produced it.

Anyone else got delicious looking pics of food they've made? Not normally something I'm into but I think some of us are probably cooking/baking more than usual.

I cook from scratch a lot but haven't made a cake for a while.

Go on then, show me your grub

@Lazydaisydaydream PM me your email address. I have the recipe as a PDF I can send you.

I really fancy a sausage roll but a nice one not supermarket. Doubt I'll be able to buy an6 flakey pastry?

Loads of puff pastry in Tesco?

Thanks.

Dd1 (10) made banana & chocolate loaf at “school” today. No chocolate chips in the house so we improvised & smashed up a twirl!

Pear and chocolate muffins with three very overripe pears. Only 1 egg required which was a bonus!

Lamb tagine with wraps
Lemon shortbread ('twas amazing!)
Sourdough bread and sourdough bread made with cottage cheese

The darker loaves are the ones with cottage cheese in (you can't taste it). Makes it higher protein and was tasty.

Also these:

Fudge and raisin cookies (better than Millie's!), which my 15yo made from my recipe

Bean and beetroot burgers

No knead sourdough bread

Jamie Oliver seven veg sauce on pasta

Vegan banana cake - didn't have any ground almonds so substituted desiccated coconut.

We're making pizza for dinner tonight. Our local pizza place delivered 6 large portions of dough last week and we have everything else we need. I'll post pictures tonight.

Ohhhh what a fab idea! I wonder if any of our local places are doing that...

In my experience any pizza place will sell portions of dough, even if it's not on the menu. It's better than you taking your money elsewhere.

There's a specialty Italian grocer near us who both makes pizza for take away and sells dough and their fab house made tomato sauce. I buy the sauce there. Their dough is okay but they only sell smallish portions.

There's some well fed mumsnetters

Sponge cake and decoted by me and my 8 year old

Melt in the middle cookies, half biscoff half salted caramel. Pretty pleased with them!

Ooh we did banana loaf today too! Would post a pic but we seem to have eaten the entire thing 😬

Can anyone recommend a simple baking recipe that doesn’t use too many ingredients pls? I keep looking at what we’ve got in and the the ingredients we’ve got for one cake would make 3 days of scrambled egg/omelette lunches for DD (17 months), the flour and milk would make a white or cheese sauce for dinner, we could only get one stick of butter which I prefer to use for DD’s meals (we have rubbish olive spread 😑). We don’t have a big stockpile of baking stuff and I feel naughty using ingredients for cake when it could be used for meals.

This lockdown has really made me realise how much I take food supply and ‘nipping out to the shops’ for granted

Jaffa Drizzle Loaf decorated by my 8 year old! Have told her it won't be ready to eat until after her bedtime mwah hah hah

@Dixiechickonhols I've been using the primrose bakery books, the recipe is in the cupcakes one. Was rubbish at cakes until i found these

@MindatWork we live near a farm and they put eggs out every day for the locals.
We made banana loaf as they were going off and it seemed less wasteful. 2 eggs, 140g of sugar and 140g of flour, and 140g of butter, along with 2 x bananas that were ready to go in the bin.
Made a huge banana loaf that was good for morale too

Ooh that sounds good @Toiletrollbuyer (love the name 😆) I’ll give that a try thank you.

I’ve just reread my post above and realised it might be interpreted as saying baking is wasteful at the moment - that’s not what I meant at all, hope I haven’t offended anyone 😩. I’m drooling looking at all these cake and brownie pictures!

clockworkprincess thank you

Lemon and poppy seed cupcakes . We improvised with the decorations.
