I just knew I wanted more cinnamon. I didn’t feel like creaming butter and sugar. Greek yogurt comes in 200g or 500g or 1 kilo tubs, so I was gonna make it with 200g yogurt, not 250g. I wanted more vanilla, and I thought it would still be too plain, so I sloshed in some botrytis. I don’t like to cook with baking powder if I have SR flour on hand, so I used that instead.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/peach-and-cinnamon-cake/feed/ 0 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/08/bake-sale-vs-cake-stall/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/08/bake-sale-vs-cake-stall/#comments Fri, 30 Aug 2013 03:11:33 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=5805 Katie and I (aka Pigeonhole Gatherings) held a fundraising baked-goods bonanza at the RedWater Markets in Redfern Park, Bake Sale vs Cake Stall, so titled as a nod to our two nationalities. Who won? I think the real winner on the day was neither Australia nor the U.S., rather, it was whoever runs the nearest peanut butter factory. They must've made a killing. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/08/bake-sale-vs-cake-stall/feed/ 6 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/07/cafe-review-bread-nerds-hume-canberra/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/07/cafe-review-bread-nerds-hume-canberra/#comments Fri, 06 Jul 2012 03:45:40 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=3849 When I was 12, I picked out our new house. Well, that’s how it felt to me anyway. Yes, I know it was really my mum who made the decision and handed over the cash. But the second I entered the place, with its rambling, north facing garden, wooden floors and loads of light, I felt at home. Looking back, I think it was that discovery of home that made my adolescence a time of relative sanity. It was also that feeling of having a home that made it so easy, 7 years later, to strike out with no real plan and very little money, enrol myself in art school, and force myself into a place where I would do something productive and wind my way to my own true home. I’m still looking for that home, both metaphorically and literally.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/07/cafe-review-bread-nerds-hume-canberra/feed/ 11 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/06/lemon-meringue-pie/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/06/lemon-meringue-pie/#comments Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:05:30 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=3771 I haven’t made this pie since I was a teenager, but I was always a big fan of the combo of tart, sweet lemon butter and fluffy sugarry merignue. I remember dragging out my mother’s 1970’s Australian Women’s Weekly Cookbook from which you could cook anything from scones to Beef Bourginon, falling apart at the spine and gaffer taped together, and making this time consuming but satisfying pie. I assume the recipe I’ve used here is the same one.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/06/lemon-meringue-pie/feed/ 19 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/06/cafe-review-roladoor-hamilton-newcastle/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/06/cafe-review-roladoor-hamilton-newcastle/#comments Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:48:24 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=3734 Well, aren’t I a lucky little caffeine addict. Truly spoiled for coffee choice in my neck of the woods, I often find I’m a tad blasé about what’s on offer. So it’s always a nice surprise to venture out of this sprawling city of Sydney a little further afield and find a brilliant coffee spot. Whaddya know kids? The world doesn’t begin and end with Sydney. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/06/cafe-review-roladoor-hamilton-newcastle/feed/ 9
