We all dream of a world where we can have our cake and eat it too. But if we had to have all the cake we wanted (read: everyday), it wouldn’t fit too well into our plan of living a relatively healthy and balanced life. So what are we then to do when it comes to choosing between dessert or that after-work cosmo? Well, why not just throw it in with the batter!
As much as we like to get fancy in the kitchen, we love nothing more than a lovely, comforting, classic bake. And nothing screams homely quite like an apple pie straight from the oven. Who’s with us?
Because pastry. Take advantage of the end of the stone fruit season with this gorgeous plum galette recipe that also just happens to be perfect for the beginning of autumn. And this just wouldn’t be a MyKitchen recipe without a surprisingly delicious flavour combo – we are sure our additions of blue cheese and thyme will blow you away.
From the icy temperatures of Reykjavik to the sunny shores of Cape Town, British baker Paul Hollywood has set off on another journey around the world to learn, taste, explore and bake in some of the most iconic baking cities around the world. And now he will be sharing those travels with us in the second season of Paul Hollywood City Bakes, airing on The Food Network in May this year.
There really is nothing better than a lazy weekend filled with good old fashioned baking. And with that in mind, we bring you a good old fashioned bake. Pumpkin bread is lovely with the slightest sweet taste that pairs perfectly with melting honey. Finish off with a drizzling of honey and you’ll be in heaven.
Because if not, why not, right? We’ve all tried it, we all love it, and it reminds us of home. With a crisp shortbread crust and a milk-custard filling (made with plenty of eggs to achieve that light texture), it’s so classically perfect, it more than deserves a day all to itself.
That is the question on Deeghuys’ lips. Proudly South Africa and a global pioneer in frozen convenience baking, Deeghuys is launching a competition this year in search of South Africa’s Milk Tart Champion. The winner will be treated to naming rights and royalties with their milk tart being sold in Deeghuys stores countrywide.
Thinking of baking biscuits? Get more experimental and fill your cookie dough with yummy strawberry jam for a pop of flavour as you take a bite.
We had Zola Nene, the queen of impressive home cooking, over to MK headquarters for a festive feast we will never forget. And she came bearing the best gift of all – dessert! We all tucked into her amazing gingerbread trifle and can guarantee that it will be a Christmas favourite at our tables this year – and for years to come.
He’s back! And he’s showing us how to make dessert this time. Adding stout to your brownie mixture will make them deliciously soft and will add a lovely richness that perfectly complements the chocolate.
