The weather I can`t control but the fire is warm and cosy .
The recipe I found on sugar packaging called Celebration Cake is causing concerns ....this recipe so called a celebration cake is nothing like what I have been taught to make ...A celebration cake is full of dried fruit , glace pineapple, apricots , and traditionally dark rum....
Yesterday Laufa and I hosted an afternoon tea at the Churchill Hub for 15 guests . Laufa prepared a lemon brownie , again nothing like the traditional brownie .
Brownies are American by origin....They are a cross between a cake and a biscuit , there are 2 basic types .... the fudge type brownie and the cake /biscuit type.
Laufs` brownie was a slice with a glossy icing , the slice was delicious but the name was very deceiving .
Be warned ...Take care when downloading recipes from the net , what is published on the net is not always correct.
Cross reference what you want to make with credible recipe books or a good culinary dictionary because names of foods can be so varied and whimsical.
I just looked up the recipe Laufa used yesterday for the lemon brownie on the net , the so called celebration cake recipe I have in front of me uses sour cream and orange in place of natural yoghurt and lemon that was used in the lemon brownie.
They are the same recipe .
celebration cake 'muffins ', but definitely not traditional celebration cakes.
the iced slices at the rear are supposedly 'brownies '
There is a tradition and history to our food ....There are some things that can`t be improved upon but if you recreate a recipe by adding to or substituting with ....the original is no longer the same so use some of your creativeness to give your recipe a new name.
