Get Set Bake!

I am learning how to bake bread and I am really enjoying it. I am determined to work my way through Paul Hollywood's book. It is great fun and tastes good too! I think I am certainly better at baking than I am at blogging because I have no idea how to arrange these photos!

I love cooking and this October we have a new book in the Jamie Oliver Cookbook Club. It is 'Bibi's Kitchen.' It is another great book and I have been cooking a few things here and there. I made Date Bread this morning and it was surprisingly easy to make. Over the past couple of weeks I made Zanzibar Pilau Rice. It is seasoned with Cardamoms and cinnamon stick and tastes really fragrant. You have to try and hunt for the Cardamom and Cinnamon and retrieve them before serving. I made Doro Wat to go.with the rice. This is a spicy stewed chicken which is supposed to be eaten with hard boiled eggs. I skipped the eggs because I am not really a fan.

The Ascension

When you compare it to Easter or Christmas, it is    quite low key, but it is of vital importance to us because it is part of the story of our Lord’s redeeming work. We should be astounded by the fact that Jesus is alive in eternity, or the glory, or heaven. However you wish to describe it, Jesus is there, and he is alive.

The Ascension is a bit like a victory lap after winning a marathon. It is a vindication or a response to all that Jesus suffered.

In Bibi's Kitchen

Yay for this lovely cookbook. This is the October cookbook for the Jamie Oliver cookbook club and I love it. It us a great book full of stories and colourful pictures. The recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients are accessible. A few pictures below. I made Somali Spiced Tea (Shaah Cadays) It is like a very spicy chai, very spicy! Definitely a good one for winter. Chicken with garlic and ginger(Akoho Misy Sakamalao) from Madagascar.  Fish in a coconut sauce. Coril de Peix Coro) from Mozambique. and Kachumbari which is Tomatoe and Onion Salad but Kachumbari sounds nicer. The book doesn't say where the salad is from (unless I missed that part) but according to Google Kachumbari is popular in East Africa.  They are all tasty and easy to make.
