Recipe Challenge - Book #11

Wednesday, 24 June 2020

Jett took on the next book on the shelf, the beautifully illustrated My Grandma's Kitchen:

It's written by one of Margaret Fulton's grandchildren and it has lots of lovely drawings and little stories inside. It is a really lovely book:

From the wide range of savoury and sweet options Jett picked out the Banana Cake recipe. 

The cake was lovely and moist and delicious. If Jett had chosen to include the prescribed walnuts it would have been even better. Also if we had chosen to ice it with the lemon cream cheese icing as per the book, I'm sure it would have been amazing.  Instead we used our leftover orange icing from Jamie's cake which we all agreed wasn't quite the right fit. And also it looked a bit odd! Still it got eaten.

So the book is lovely, and I suspect all the recipes are pretty good, but it's really a little young for us now, so I'll give it away to a family with smaller kids than ours.
