When I have a lazy afternoon (or if i'm lucky, a whole day) there's nothing I love more than mucking around in the kitchen. I am no by no means a food connoisseur, and to be honest i'm not a future master chef either. But I love creating things from scratch, adapting old recipes, and playing with flavours to make something amazing.
One of my favourite things to do is to bake bread. No breadmakers, no powders or pre-made mixers. Just some flour, water, a bit of yeast and some good old sunshine :) Sometimes I make it flashy, by braiding the dough or adding secret spices to make is sizzle, but this time I kept it simple and made a gorgeous onion and herb loaf.
I also had a block of chocolate to use up that I didn't know what to do with - I could have made my almost world-famous chocolate chunk cookies but I felt like something new. So, my boyfriend gave me his chocolate pie recipe which was a bit exciting to try (though he forgot to tell me at what temp to bake for and for how long... I figured it out though :P )
I think I did a good job for first try, tasted pretty damn good too...
Yum :) I'm gonna miss not having endless resources and a bottomless pantry when I move out of home again.
