September - 5-a-day


We had been talking about using “fruit and veg” as a theme for a while, and September seemed like a seasonally appropriate month to do so, so that’s what we went with! The “rule” was that anything our bakers baked should have at least one item of fruit or veg on the ingredients list – what they did with it was up to them!

Interestingly, we ended up with a lot more sweet bakes than savoury, but all were delicious! This was also the first time a member has brought in their own small kitchen appliance to one of our meetings – but I must say the toaster worked VERY well! So, without further adieu, the roll call:

Catherine bought some more of her delicious Blackberry Bakewell Tarts, along with an equally delicious Blackberry Egg Custard Tart; Charlie baked some ultra-gooey Beetroot Brownies; Katrina baked some very interesting Carrot and Cheese Flapjacks, along with some not-too-bad-for-you Blueberry Oat Muffins; Sally baked an absolutely amazing (and even better when toasted) Spinach, Sun-dried Tomato and Mozzarella Loaf; Tom baked a very tasty, still-warm-from-the-oven Tropical Fruit Crumble; and I baked some Honey and Apricot Scones and some crunchy on the outside, gooey in the middle Raspberry Meringues – it may not be a dietitians dream, but nobody could deny that we each got our 5-a-day!

Happy Baking
