“Spicy” Carrot and Apple Cakes with a Maple Buttercream Frosting

by Peter G September 30, 2009 Recipes

I wanted to take a break from my current Thailand postings to bring you a recipe that I created for this month’s Royal Foodie Joust. The RFJ, for those of you who don’t know is in my opinion, the web’s most friendliest cooking competition.

Crumpets For Breakfast

by Peter G September 3, 2009 Recipes

I find myself becoming more and more of a breakfast person as I get older. Don’t get me wrong, I always eat something in the morning but these days I make a little extra effort to fuel my body for the days activities.
