Baking is fun, but cookie baking rules. Pie baking too. Humble pie, mud pie. Here's what I recently made.

Barack's Birthday Bake-off: Berry-Spangled Cheesecake [august 4 '08]

This baked blueberry cheesecake tart includes a few red gooseberries for added on-topic-ness.

Baked Banoffi Cheesecake [august 4 '08]

Like the original Banoffi pie, it's made with bananas and caramelized condensed milk, but on top of that is a baked cheesecake... reclaiming Thatcher's favorite for Obama.

”I love the 70ties” Banoffi Pie [februari 18]

Made with bananas and caramelized condensed milk, this super rich dessert is such a yummy combination of flavours, you wonder why noboby thought of it before 1972... :-)

Cinnamon Apple Cake [november 21]

Very easy to make, this is a delicious and mellow fruit cake, rich with that classic combination of autumnal flavours - spicy, sweet and tart.

Baked Cheese Plum and Pistachio Pie [september 24]

Plum pie with fruit from a roadside stall to prolong that sweet summer holiday feeling.

Terrific Apricot Merengues [february 5]

A leftovers recipe from Nigella Lawson turns out good enough to make on its own - double quantity.

Quince Pear Squares [january 7]

A simple slab cake drenched and glazed with a tart quince jam. Contains nuts too. Jam and cake - life is sweet.
