I made cake today for the first time in about a year and a half! I’m not sure why I stopped baking, oh no wait, I was eating everything I made and getting fat! Pierre was up early as he’s in London today and tomorrow and as I had a cheeky day off (makes up for working yesterday!) I had a thoroughly lazy morning and didn’t get out of bed until 11. I’ve not slept in that late for ages!!!

After I’d had lunch I fancied playing about in the kitchen so hit the bakery box to see what I had in and then what I could make. This loaf cake is banana, date, honey, cinnamon and it was meant to be walnuts but I didn’t have any so I just put mixed nuts on top! Once it was baked I glazed the top with more honey. It tastes lovely even if I am a little out of practise!

We tried a recipe from the new Jamie Oliver book today, we did Jerk Pork (meant to be chicken but we had chicken the night before!) and rice & peas. The Jerk Pork was lovely and the rice and peas were ok but no where near as good as proper rice and peas, sometimes there is no substitute for a recipe taking time!
