recipe sorting

I had a bit of free time this week (school holidays), so I decided to finally sort all my loose recipes and put them in a folder at last.  Much neater in the top kitchen drawer than a pile of loose papers!  I don’t know why I didn’t do it years ago…

and when I was sorting through my recipes to get them in catergories I rediscovered some things that I’ve forgotten to make for a while, so that’s always exciting!  Today I made a “lemon pistachio and white chocolate cake”, which is a recipe we had at work (Marigold Garden Tearooms) many years ago.  It’s cooling at the moment, so after it’s iced I’ll take a photo for you.  The recipe came from a very talented lady named Ingrid, she used to make some lovely cakes (I’m sure she still does).  She made a couple for our wedding back in 1993, but I’ve lost touch with her now.  You should have seen her lemon poppyseed cake!  And tasted it too.

so that’s it!
