So... the New Year has been celebrated, I've walked around Gunwalloe and Church Cove and seen the crashing waves, felt singularly small, watched a manic puppy on the beach, came home and felt inspired to rustle up a cake.
Whilst I was doing it I was musing on my cake-baking and cooking skills generally. They could probably be summed up by the phrase 'joyous and messy'. And I realised that if I keep cooking the way I have done so far....I will always be a joyous and messy cook. So what if I want to change and keep the joyous bit but not the 'messy' bit, how would I do that? I remember Einstein's 'If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you always got.' SO I decided to do something different....and yes, I have baked a cake joyously....and the kitchen is tidy! The first positive change of 2011.
Thank you to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his Date and Orange cake recipe in today's Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/series/hughfearnleywhittingstallonfood
