Banana fritters are a favourite of mine. I usually don't use a recipe but here is one for those of you who would like to try them

When you’ve got overripe bananas sitting on your kitchen counter, use them to make these delightful little ripe banana fritters the Jamaican way.

To To (toe toe) is a Jamaican dessert/snack. It is not too sweet however. Here's a fun recipe for you to try.

A sweet heavy textured cake, usually cut into squares and enjoyed as a snack.

Anna Smartcakes fans - if you want a Christmas pudding let me know quickly because orders are filling up fast! Let me know the size and time but the last oven gets lit on December 21!

Do you like Downton Abbey? I loved that show and I'm still in withdrawal from the series finale! However revived it for one afternoon of an afternoon tea in honour of my sister's birthday. So we wore our hats and pearls (no gloves - too hot and impractical) and indulged in a British/Jamaican high tea. On the menu - cucumber sandwiches, orange cranberry scones, English Trifle, smoked salmon, assorted cheeses, assorted crackers and the touch of Jamaica came from Jamaican codfish fritters (aka Stamp & Go). We washed all of that down with lemonade and Sangria and of course tea! The sangria? Just because we like it!

Cultures around the world decorate eggs to celebrate spring. Modern artists continue those traditions, reflecting the fragility and beauty of life.

Just finished baking. My hardy Kitchen Aid beside my Yabba - the new and the old. Soooo glad that I don't have to cream the butter and sugar the old fashioned way though!
