when i look back on the few photos taken this past week i realized i've spent most of it in the kitchen. mind you, even if we're on a spring school break here, it's been such a rainy & cold weather there's nowhere else to go anyway. satisfying ? certainly. but i won't deny that after a few days i feel the need for & miss some outdoor exercise.
i have to tell you that i had a revelation.
the no knead dutch-oven bread.
oh my. of course it is not a new recipe, but i thought success was only on the photos i saw here & there online. no ! i met my very own success, even though it was in a simple pyrex cocotte. because i use 2/3 of whole flour, i let it bake 10 more minutes and tadaa... husband & daughter blown away !
delicious
ReplyDeleteOh que c'est bon tout ça ! Et beau !
ReplyDeletemmmmmmm so delicious!
ReplyDeletebread and cake both looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteInspiring! I feel like baking now. And sewing next week. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh the bread looks so yummy and also pretty in your pictures. I think I might need to make my favorite bread this weekend, too. And I need to try yours too, but wonder about the size of the bowl. How big would it need to be, in litres, can you give any estimate?
ReplyDeleteOoh... that bread looks so good!!! As well as the carrot cake... I also made one last week with my best recipe and I just love it! I could try that one too though. Can't wait to see your next project :)!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend... we're longing for warmer weather. It was still snowing the other day :(... so please, send me some warm breezes, soon!!!
I would happily try yours as well :)
Deletethere should be a letter in the (snail) mail to you by the end of the week xo
Je découvre ton blog, et j'aime beaucoup beaucoup! Je repasserai...
ReplyDeleteJe n'ai jamais tenté le glaçace sur le carrot-cake, il faut que je teste ça.
merci, je crois que c'est Delphine (?) je ne suis pas sure mais je connais un peu ton blog par Camille, et j'ai toujours été touchée par la situation de ton fils. Comme tu le dis si justement la maladie d'un enfant c'est la maladie de toute une fille ... on connait nous aussi.
DeleteJuste une petite précision ce n'est pas un glaçage sur ce gâteau mais un frosting au fromage type philadelphia et c'est ... bien meilleur !!
ta recette de pain me donne bien envie d'essayer vu le beau résultat que tu as eu !
ReplyDeleteton gateau est superbe !!!
wow that looks all so good! and thank you for the recipes, I tried the no knead bread as well, it´s great!
ReplyDeleteton pain est magnifique et le gâteau a l'air délicieux, vous avez dû vous régaler ...
ReplyDeleteHomebaked bread...yummy. And the carrot cake with frosting looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteWith recipes; thank you.
Good idea. I'm going to bake a cake on this rainy sunday afternoon.
Hugs, Pauline
après avoir vu tes photos de pain sur flickr, j'en ai fait un. C'est si bon et si facile! et ce gâteau aux carottes, s'il est aussi bon que beau, il doit être excellent!
ReplyDeleteje suis bien contente que tu aies pu constater par toi-même ! ;)
DeletePour les avoir goûtés, je confirme que ton pain et ton gâteau à la carotte sont excellents !
ReplyDeleteHuuummm !
merci mon poussin . j'ai bien vu que tu les aimes
Deleteet moi aussi je t'aime très fort :)

I hope you enjoyed your baking time, Katerina !
DeleteHello Valerie - I have already gone and printed out that carrot cake recipe! I have tried various versions over the years...but from your description and photos this one sounds perfect! I'm very in the mood to bake right now :) Am also very curious to see what lovely things you have been sewing! I will stay tuned - big hugs, xo Karen
ReplyDeleteHello Karen -- thank you for your visit. I hope it was successful :) I had tried another one many years ago but it was not as moist as this one. And I think I didn't make a cream cheese frosting. This last one really completements in the best way the carrot cake. big hugs back to you !
DeleteMmm!!!! Looks wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethank you, it WAS good ! tomorrow I'm going to bake some red velvet cupcakes for a friend at a flea market, with this same cream cheese frosting :)
DeleteThat blue Liberty fabric is delicious!! I'm sure L is going to look beautiful in it.
ReplyDeletethank you Elizabeth. I managed 3 pieces during the week, but given the weater it is hard to plan some photos with L. in them...
DeleteHow had I missed this post?! I've been waiting impatiently to find a new one so this is a nice surprise. Your recipes are as gorgeous as your fabrics so thanks for sharing. I have never tried carrot cake with almonds on top but it looks simply wonderful. Take care!
ReplyDeletevery nice of you Emily :)
ReplyDeleteas I said I didn't have any hazelnuts in the house, happy accident because it is very good with almonds, I may choose almonds from now on, indeed !
