Strawberries & Cream Chiffon Cake

Strawberries and Cream Chiffon Cake

Hello! I realised that I have been cooking and baking a lot but I haven't had the time to sort out all the photos and blog! Really need to get more organised. I guess it is hard to stick to a schedule when you are on vacation but at the same time there should not be any excuses.I also need to compile a collage of all the photos of food that I have consumed in the past 3 weeks or so. Maybe, maybe not - it is a scary thing when you look back at the amount of food that you ate! Perhaps ignorance is really bliss in this context.

Enough of that, remember my previous post on the Original Chiffon Cake? Well, I got an idea, also from the same book, to take the cake a step further and make it into a light strawberries and cream chiffon cake. Oh look at that, isn't it perfect for afternoon tea?

Strawberries and Grilled Vegetables Salad

Strawberries and Grilled Vegetables Salad

Look what I had earlier for my lunch! With the current sunny weather we have been blessed with, a super fresh light salad is just what I need. I decided to add the strawberries in not just for colour - but so I can have my fruits and vegetables in one dish. Easy!

This recipe is simply delightful and perfect as a side dish or a light meal. It is simple to make, flavourful and a joy to look at, what more could you ask for :)

You just need to grill some mushrooms and aubergine with garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then toss together with chopped romaine lettuce and strawberries. Job done. I felt that the grilled vegetables added enough flavour to the salad hence there is no need for more dressing. Just a squeeze of lemon juice to make everything fresh and zingy.

Now that I have got lunch sorted, what's for dinner?
