Food DIY: How to Make Your Own Everything
I don't know what it is but anytime I am about to begin something I find myself surrounded with clues and inspiration. It seems my eyes are opening up more to these sources and I seem to be finding them all around me.
I recently signed up for cooking lessons and as I was walking past my local high street when I spotted this book in a shop window. Not only did the cover catch my eyes, but the message it told.
Food DIY: How to Make Your Own Everything: sausages to smoked salmon, sourdough to sloe gin, bacon to buns
Just placed my order on Amazon
Enjoy

Red Velvet Cupcakes
How I wish I could have a wedding tier of RED VELVET cupcakes on my big day. Ahhhhhh
I remember standing in the queue at the Portobello road branch and watching a happy customer finishing her RED VELVET cupcake the cupcake left an interesting pattern of red on the cupcake paper after she had finished eating it. I don't know why, call me strange, but I was like that's the cupcake I am having! The red was a satisfying colour let alone all the smell of the bakery infusing in my head I couldn't wait.
OK, for those of you that don't know what RED VELVET cake taste like you are missing out big time and I would ask you to march down to hummingbird bakery and taste your 1st dose of this wonderful creation.
Well they do make other sweet stuff other than RED VELVET cake! like the Brooklyn blackout cake, New York-style cheesecakes, brownies, cookies and many more varieties of cupcakes
You can either sit in to eat your cakes with coffee if you like they do offer hot drinks or you can take it away with you.

A little bit about the books
Kemi's JournalKemi's Journal is the story of a twenty-something high-flying London advertising executive. Kemi has to reconcile her new found Christian faith with a demanding career, trying to get over a non-believing ex-boyfriend Zack and living in the shadow of her best friend Vanessa with her perfect fiancé Mark. Kemi's faith is sometimes very strong and can resist temptations and other times God takes a back seat as the arms of Zack appears more alluring. How does she cope with being a Christian in the cut-throat world of advertising, being intimate with Zack and the joy of a personal relationship with Jesus? This is a bold novel that tackles the moral decisions many young women have to make about crisis of faith, sex before marriage, unplanned pregnancy and abortion with openness, sensitivity and maturity.
Zack's StoryIn this much awaited sequel to Kemi's Journal, readers get to hear Zack's side of the story. Welcome to Zack's world – in which he plays a rich confusion of roles. He didn't plan to be a father, but now that baby Yanis is on the scene he's determined to take parenting seriously, perhaps dealing with some of the dark shadows of his past en route. As for being a husband, he’s wanted that for a long time – but the volatile Kemi he loves so much doesn’t make it easy for him. And neither does the office temptress, Maxine! Then there is the part of the up-and-coming big shot corporate lawyer. Zack's determined to be a success, but will he have to learn the hard way about choosing between personal integrity and compromise? He also recently become a born-again believer. Is Zack just trying to please the Bible-hugging Kemi or will he make sense of the whole God thing for himself?
