In My Kitchen: June

 



Single serve chocolate chip cookie - I saw this being talked about in the RecipeTin Eats Facebook group and the idea of just whipping something up and having it straight away. It's funny though, on the recipe it talks about being able to make this single serve, albeit huge serve, and have it cooked within 20 minutes. To be fair, I am pretty sure I could find a chocolate chip cookie recipe where you could cook a whole batch in that time. This was half of the single serve and it basically was the size of the plate. I did love the way that you add the chocolate chips on top of the cookies while it was still hot!



French Apple Cake - This is another RecipeTin Eats recipe, this time for a French Apple Cake. It was very easy, and very delicious! Will make again!




I did end up buying a cookbook this month. Home Food by Elizabeth Hewitt was the cook book of the month in May for the Lambs Ear Cook Book Club. I originally borrowed the book from the library but we enjoyed everything we tried so I ended up buying it! I do want to try not doing that every month, but I think I am on track to buy the June book as well!



We did go to the most amazing Japanese dinner in June. It was a 5 course meal with free flowing alcohol, plus there was a cooking demonstration for every course, and cultural demonstration such as drumming, Judo and more! It was such a fun night.

    1. I was going to not buy last months but ended up caving. Tender arrived today. Definitely won't be buying anything for July and I already own the August book so should be able to control myself for the next couple of months at least!

  2. Oh yum the coq au vin blanc pie sounds delish and I love that giant cookie. It's such a good trick to put the choc chips on top. I love Nagi's recipes!

  4. I've been eyeing up the French apple cake by Nagi for a while and glad to hear it worked well on the ground ! her recipes are great, however not adapted to French ingredients which is a little challenge for me

  5. Your menu sounds delicious, but that cookie is beautiful! Of course it might also be that I have had to cut out chocolate for awhile, silly gut issues...
