So I know I haven’t been posting as much as I used to, mostly because of procrastination, also due to school. I appreciate all the encouraging comments and love reading them, thank you all, it has inspired me to start posting again. I’m posting this because I would like to know what you would like to see on here. Some of you would notice that I now have a donations box in the sidebar, I would greatly appreciate a 1 or 2 dollar donation so I can expand my collection of recipes, at the moment my old books aren’t quite challening enough, also at the end of each year, the money left over from the donations will go to a charitable cause.

I’ve said all that I need to say.
Happy Cooking

Sweet Sticky Rice and Banana is a post from: Recipes by Rhi

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Grind the cumin, coriander, fennel, pepper and sea salt in a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle to a fine powder. Alternatively, substitute 1 teaspoon of powdered spice for each tablespoon of whole spice.
2.  Add cinnamon to spice mix. Reserve.
3. To make stuffing, cut crust off bread and discard. Tear bread into rough chunks about 20 cent size and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

I designed my own logo, with a tiny bit of help from Mum and Dad, and have decided to offer aprons, caps and mugs. My Grandma was my very first customer (aren’t Grandmas great?)

My Mum thinks that this is a wonderful idea and is wondering what she can do.
