What are you cooking today?

How about this.   I am making fruit leather and a pipe loaf.   Using the warmth from the dehydrated to rise the bread.

That is being very environmentally correct. Clever thinking.

The Poke loaf is from Tenina's America. It simply means you Poke large ( 1cm) holes in the cooked cake and fill them with something. This was a lemon cake filled with a blueberry jelly/sauce.
I made a large one for DD to take to work and a smaller one for home.

Margaret your cooking looks lovely.

Don't think I've had a pipe loaf since I was a kid (we called them tank loafs).

Never heard of a poke cake but it looks moist and delicious. Your daughter's collegues must love you Cookie

Those American poke cakes look interesting cookie but you’re the first Aussie I’ve known to make one.
Very innovative Chookie, how I love pipe loaves - more for the ease of cutting than anything else.
I’m making an apriot chicken dish for tomorrow night’s tea.

Thanks for the explaining about the cake Cookie.

Great looking loaf Chookie. We call this a Milk Loaf here in the UK.

CC, I wonder why it is called a milk loaf.  Could be the recipe but I just use the No Fuss recipe.

Nice cooking Chookie & Cookie.

I made scones and a Belgium Lemon Tea Cake this morning.  We have workers here so these are for morning tea and at lunch.

Love that tank loaf tin and the loaf Chookie. We often had those when I was a child. Wonder why they went out of fashion?

Your daughter's collegues must love you Cookie 

Lol I reckon. Looks delish Cookie.
Mab those muffins look great

They both look nice Margaret, did you convert the Best Recipe to the Thermomix?

I was wondering that too.
I have been making an oat loaf for breakfast and a savoury mince based on brown rice for family dinners. it's so easy and healthy. I don't know where I got the savoury mince recipe from and Mr Google can't seem to find it  I'll post it here if anyone is interested.
I'm trying to eat more oats (never liked porridge  )  Have done many variations on loaf and it all seems to work. Forgotten how to do nice hidden links so here's the oat loaf: https://www.recipecommunity.com.au/breads-rolls-recipes/oat-loaf-easy-healthy-and-can-be-glutenwheatdairy-and-egg-free/th5lr9fj-af63a-380597-cfcd2-iqjrbsrw.

I didn't convert the recipe for the muffins but it could easily be converted.  Carrot, Zucchini and Date Muffins  I used half dates and half sultanas.

That loaf looks tasty Gayle. Did you put lots of seeds etc in for the muesli 'stuff' ?

[achookwoman]

This pipe tin is interesting. It opens at the end rather than at the side.  Side is better.
Difficult to fit into oven for final 15 minutes browning. But the good thing is that it is made of very thick iron. Bakes well and even.

Noted thank you Chookie Tank loaves used to be everywhere, but hardly see them now. Must keep an eye out for a tank tin while I'm looking for a baguette tin

I'm quite taken with this recipe Cookie. It's a small, heavyish loaf but It's so versatile and consistent. I've made it many times and I don't think I've made the same loaf twice. But they have all disappeared very quickly. Ones with dried fruits, nuts, seeds are lovely toasted with jam, or with banana, cinnamon and honey on top. You can sub water for most of the milk it seems. The latest one just had sunflower seeds and pepitas with hardly any milk (the fridge was looking bare lol) and it was nice with scrambled eggs, tomato and spinach. I can't remember if I have put coconut in any of the loaves and I just put a tiny pinch of salt.
