let's eat cake.

this week has been a good one for cooking. the borders near my flat on oxford street is closing down (oh dear, good bye, economy) and everything is 50% off. i bought this amazing chocolate cook book by Green & Blacks that is full of wonderful recipes that i will share once i have successfully conquered them.

also, i bought some red currants, which i had never had before, and i didn't know that you aren't really supposed to just eat them because they a quite sour, so i found this recipe for a tart from a blog called delicious days. i only made half the recipe and put in one less tablespoon of sugar and added some strawberries instead for sweetness. the result reminds me of my granny's strawberry rhubarb pie. lovely for summer tea.

i also found this other food blog which i am into; smitten kitchen.
