i’m much liking cooking with edible flower petals at the moment. these meringues have rosewater and rose petals folded into the cream that holds them together.
I love the process of making them – there is something very satisfying about turning plain old egg white in to something beautifully glossy and light.
next time, I’m going to make them bite sized so they melt in the mouth. yum.

a new fascination has begun. I was round at my friend Marina’s house today and we made use of her super duper kenwood mixer.
I’ve wanted to make these for ages but was too lazy to whisk the egg whites by hand.
The pink ones have rose water in the shells and buttercream with fresh raspberries as the filling. The creamy ones have vanilla seeds in the shell and are sandwiched with slightly salty caramel.
I now have a new technique to perfect! watch this space…

my friend chiara let me ride her beautiful new red and cream pashley the other night.
despite it being absolutely freezing cold on the south bank, it made me resolve to get back on my bike in preparation for many summer outings and picnics. I have neglected it for a little while now.
now would also be a good time to big up bobbin bicycles which really is the best bike shop in london. where a friend of mine called Ted also works. they are all very nice.
