Egg
Eggs supply all essential amino acids for humans, and provide several vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, choline, iron, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. They are also a good source of protein. With so many ways to cook them, they’re amazingly versatile. A key ingredient in an english breakfast, or even in cakes, enjoyed in the afternoon with a cuppa tea. Below you’ll find all the recipes containing eggs.
Five Star Butter cake
This is a recipe for a very versatile cake and is perfect for any occasion. You can alter the flavour with vanilla, chocolate, lemon or orange. You could even add the mixture over stewed apples to make an apple cake!
Almond Jelly
Almond Jelly is one of the most popular Chinese desserts. This recipe has refinded it slightly, making it wobblier and serving it in dainty ramekins.
It makes an ideal dessert after a big meal as it is so light and just slides down the throat. They’re great served with a skewer of lychees on the side and a lychee vodka shot.
Iced Ginger Cake
This is one of those cakes where one bit is never enough and going by how quickly it keeps disappearing in my house, everyone else is the same! Along with Caramel Shortcake, this is one of my all time favourites and I will keep making it for years to come. I hope you enjoy it as much as me!
Velvet Chicken Pie
Velvet Chicken Pie has an unctuous sauce and velvety chicken. Perfect for a cozy night in on a cold February evening.
Peach Upside-Down Cake
A recipe for peach upside-down cake, made with tinned peaches and a French-Yoghurt cake base.
Unlike other upside-down cake recipes this is more moist and pudding like, not dry and crumbly. Delicious!
Lily’s Fairtrade Devil’s Food Ale Cakes
Lily’s Fairtrade Devil’s Food Ale Cakes are delicious and unusual cupcakes, created especially for the Fairtrade fortnight by cupcake queen Lily Vanilli.
They’re so tasty that you’ll want to bake them all year round, but I think they taste even better during Fairtrade Fortnight!
Ham & Cheese savoury pancakes
This is similar to my sweet pancake recipe, only it has the addition of buckwheat flour which gives the pancakes a richer, nutty flavour, similar to a crêpe – perfect for topping with your favourite filling, which for me is ham and cheese.
Lily’s Fairtrade Bacon and Banana Cakes
These bacon and banana cakes are so tasty that you’ll want to bake them all year round, but I think they taste even better during Fairtrade Fortnight!
Choosing Fairtrade over regular versions makes a massive difference to the lives of developing world farmers and their families!
Enjoy eating eggs this weekend
If there’s one thing Carla and I agree on, it’s that the weekend is a time for cooking a delicious breakfast. During the week most people only have time for a piece of toast or bowl of cereal and personally, I would rather have the extra time in bed.
When the weekend rolls round it’s time to celebrate with that much needed lie in (unless you have kids, in which case forget it) and think about what you’re going to have for breakfast. Well here’s some superb recipe suggestions, so why not enjoy eating eggs this weekend?
Tiramisu
When it’s freezing cold and snowy outside I like to come home to a seriously calorific dessert. This one’s actually not too bad – but the secret is that it tastes like it is! I like to make mine in individual tall glasses for dinner parties, but one large bowl works just as well. If you don’t have any amaretto don’t worry, rum is fine although I would then add a drop of almond essence to the cream mixture.
