Here’s the list of the recipes I’ve made over the past 6 months:

-Pumpkin Roll

-Pie Crust

-Sugar cookies and icing

-Havermout chocolade banana muffins (oats, chocolate, banana muffins)

-Lentil Curry

-Cinnamon Rolls

-Quick Pickles

-Grilled halloumi, rocket and avocado salad

-Naan bread

-Lime bars

-I also helped make Turkey Soup, Cruesli and baked a Mango Crumble, just to add a few extras.

So, here’s the rundown:

Best recipe: Cinnamon Rolls – so tasty, especially right from the oven

Worst recipe: Havermout chocolade banana muffins – strangely this recipe does not call for flour and you end up with quite a mushy muffin – seeing as no one like them, this is not to be repeated.

Best discovery: Lentil Curry – I had never cooked lentils until a few months ago – what a brilliant discovery on my part

Fastest recipe: Quick Pickles, hence the name!

Recipe that needs some perfecting: Naan bread, tastes good but needs a little work in terms of presentation

Most labor intensive: Lime bars, squeezing 20-25 limes took me a while, as well as using a knife to grate enough lime zest

Most fun: Sugar cookies and icing – mostly because it was a great activity with nephews and nieces, both in the USA and NL

Recipe I would like to repeat soon: grilled halloumi, delicious!

Most challenging & creative: Pumpkin Roll, figuring out how to bake the dough so that it would be thin enough to roll, and then finding a way to roll it up to cool it down and then adding the filling and rolling it up again.

Recipe everyone needs to have: Pie Crust, important for any pie making, and so easy

Happy baking & cooking!
