LEMON & CHAMOMILE CAKE



So this is the new year and in new years people have resolutions; and if people with resolutions had a baking blog they would write about them there, in something that I believe would be titled - '2016 - An Introduction', and it would be something very pragmatic and possibly involving detox diets or buying a house or life rebuilding, or something.
I will blame my lack of vitamin B(1)2 that, Wikipedia informs me, caters for paleness and neurological issues, and having watched one Rob Zombie film too many over the holidays, and chocolate overdoses, and being not invisible for once, or twice, and hamster cheeks; but I'm afraid I have no resolution. What I do have, is a recipe for a lemon & chamomile cake that is as oh so pretty & oh so nice as a hairdresser named Manuel from a posh town in Northern Italy; bless his heart; as well as this worrying feeling at the back of my head that this year is going to be an absolute duckin' mess just like its younger brother, and in fact all its siblings; but did I mention I have a recipe for cake; and that means that I may or may not be willing to spend a stupid amount of euros on a toothbrush or mindlessly start humming a song that goes, if a body catch a body comin' through the Rye If a body kiss a body, need a body cry on my way back to the Orphanage and book flights to actual Iceland this time and even glimpse several different futures ahead, in the distance, or find myself looking up and hoping for the best; because did I mention, lemon chamomile cake. I think I did, therefore, hi 2016, and Happy New Year everyone; everything will be fine.

CHAMOMILE TEA COOKIES


Don’t be fooled by the simple appearance of these cookies. They are sweet, soft, with a chewy middle and soo flavoursome. It’s the first recipe I try from Chickpea Magazine and I have to say I was super impressed with it. It’s very original (I’d never even heard of chamomile cookies before) and I’ve made it so many times already. Totally a personal favourite (sorry chocolate chip cookies). Needless to say I’ll be trying out more recipes from the magazine, there’s all sorts in there to make your tummy happy! So if you’re a big fan of chamomile tea (I’d be married to tea if it was legal), or if you fancy trying something different, go for it and make these. A cup of tea or coffee on the side, and happy days for all.
