Dom over at Belleau Kitchen started the Random Recipe blogging challenge a few months ago and...one thing after another has stopped me from remembering to participate...but not this month!! This month's challenge?? desserts...or...in my case baked treats :) Sorry Dom...I didn't cheat...I just misinterpreted the 'desserts' as a sweet baked goods...honest.
So...and surprisingly...I don't actually have ANY cookbooks dedicated to desserts (although I do have my eye on Bake! by Rachel Allen and the Great British Book of Baking from last year's Great British Bake Off...hint...hint....ahem...birthday approaching...ahem...) so I closed my eyes and chose a book...
Peter Rabbit's Natural Foods Cookbook by Arnold Dobrin (complete with BP illustrations!) leading to the random selection of...
Tommy Brock and Mr. Tod's Wheat Germ Muffins
I love them!... and I love the fact that there's a cookbook by Peter Rabbit! That's genius... thanks so much for taking part this month, the idea was any kind of desserts or sweets or cakes so these fabulous muffins more than qualify... I love the photo too x
ReplyDeleteDom...thanks!!! phew! :) they are really yummy!
ReplyDeletewho would have thought??!
ReplyDeleteall those years of hanging on to good old Peter Rabbit --- that he would re-surface in 2011?? ...."everything old is new again!"....
the muffins look quite tasty....great colour!

Phew, I was worried for a minute, thought Dom might take you to international Random Recipe court! These do look interesting - who knew Peter Rabbit could cook as well as eat Mr McGregor's lettuces?!
ReplyDeleteMummi-ji...well between these muffins and squirrel nutkins banana nut loaf we will be turning into little rabbits in no time! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Kitchen Maid...Phew..i know! i figured...better to come clean! :) ps the cook book is great...makes me feel like a little bunny.
