In my kitchen this month I have been experimenting with tea. We enjoyed a lovely crème brûlée, infused with a combination of flavours Earl Grey, orange zest and lavender which was quite delicious. Love serving each portion in small espresso cups or shot glasses when entertaining. 
Juiced some carrot, apple and orange and mixed in some Kyo-Green for a final boost of energy, we are on our way to New Zealand. Hubby is taking part in Ironman New Zealand (he did Melbourne last year) and of course I will be standing by to cheer him on. Always exciting visiting new places and of course will send you a postcard.
Priscilla number three finally arrived and thanks to Celia I’ve managed to bake a few sourdough loaves that I am very proud off. I’ve left “Sabr” in the fridge and have given her a good feed before I travelled. I have stuck a note on the fridge for myself, to “feed Sabr” when I return.
More tea in my kitchen and this time used a strong brew of breakfast tea to make these lovely Lemon Tea Cupcakes with a Frosted Mint Leaf on top. Afternoon tea is always a good time to take out some pretty little cake forks.
In my kitchen I have a new knife, basket and some balsamic vinegar (eaten the pasta, garlic and tomatoes), these were part of a cool and creative invite from the guys at Nino restaurant, Bahrain. Celebrating the opening of their second branch, they also held a “Chopped At Nino” cooking event that evening which was good fun.
This Lemon Polenta Cake is another favorite of ours and although it is perfect to have with a nice cup of coffee, it can also double up as a desert cake served with softly whipped cream a fresh blueberry compote. Once again joining up with the lovely host Celia from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial and other bloggers from around the globe for the monthly “In My Kitchen” posts, showcasing all our kitchen treasures and delicious food.

It’s a small world isn’t it? My daughter was telling me this morning that she knows someone who is doing the New Zealand Iron man, a young woman originally from Devon, where my daughter lives. My daughter is doing the Barcelona Iron man next October,her first one. I also have some of Priscilla’s offspring, making bread from it today, hope it is as good as yours!
Good luck to your husband, I hope he does his PB!

Jeannette it is a small world. Good luck to your daughter for her first Ironman, I admire anyone who takes on this grueling challenge. I guess she will be loading up on plenty of carbs during training and your sourdough loaves will disappear fast. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

I say an emphatic ‘YES’ to that lemon polenta cake. It’s one of my favourite styles of cake. The little lemon teacake is adorable too. I think it’s the mint leaf that makes it look so appealing. cheers!

It all looks so wonderful, especially the crème brulee and polenta cake. I love the little tea fork as well. My Priscilla starter arrived, then less than a week the second arrived! Sent about a month apart but arrived close together, at least it didn’t take a third for me. Glad you are enjoying your sourdough, so are we.

I love scented Creme Brûlée, I’m not a fan of Earl Grey, but I’m sure yours tasted delicious! I’m glad your sourdough is working yes, I often forget to feed mine, but fine that tif I feed it and leave it out for a few days that it pumps right back up! Thanks lemon and polenta cake does look divine! Thanks for sharing! Liz xx
