Just for general wonderings…
July's Project is in full swing, today we have: Flap jacks.
No problems in making today's munchies, but may have a problem eating them. They are incredibly sickly!
Full recipe is not available as it was stolen from a book found in the staff room. Next up: carrot cupcakes and chocolate twists….
July's Project rolls on…
The initial plan was Individual iced Bakewell Tarts, although this soon changed to a 'Traditional' Bakewell Tart due to time restraints.
Today we give thanks to Simon Rimmer of 'Something for the Weekend' fame, today's celebrity chef, for his Bakewell Tart recipe. Although, in a Jamie Oliver 30min meal style, I did do a spot of cutting corners. Namely I got some ready made pastry, I am a man after all!
After a few dodgy moments, the Bakewell Tart emerged from the oven a complete success….
Including some very slapdash rustic looking individual tarts….
The Bakewell Tart is being donated to the school's Strawberry Tea afternoon in aid of Cancer Research.

July's Project, Bakeathon, begins to gain speed. After a successful batch of Brownies last week we move, with thanks to Lorraine Pascale, to Big Yummy Double Choc Chip Cookies.
The cupboard contained most of the ingredients already so a trip to the shop for eggs and Choc chips and we were ready to give it ago:
Now, I don't want to sound big-headed, but these cookies are fantastic. Proper big American cookies, soft in the middle, yet hard on the outside. Delicious. A sample will, of course, be taken into school on Monday for break time.
No link to recipe today because it was stolen straight from the pages of her book, by way of a photograph of the page whilst in WHSmiths…
Today sees the beginning of July's Project. The challenge will be to bake at least 10 different things, beginning with Chocolate Brownies. Now to be sure everything I make comes out absolutely fantastic I will be using famous celebrity chef recipes only. That way I have someone to blame!
So today, with the help of Jamie Oliver, we have Chocolate Brownies.
This blog will not be giving you a list of ingredients or a method, you can get them online elsewhere, it will just show my attempts to produce some lovely munchies.
So we began with this…
After 15 min preparation plus 25 min in the oven the lovely aroma of Chocolate filled the house. And as Jamie Oliver would say….bloomin' brilliant brownies….
They taste absolutely bloody beautiful and will be eaten for pudding tonight, with a small selection taken to work tomorrow for breaktime. If you want the full recipe click here.
I have therefore decided the first leg of Bakeathon a complete success!
