Traditional Soda bread

Hey foodies, soda bread is a northern Ireland favourite, it's actually one of the only places you can get it.  I never knew how easy it was until a couple of weeks ago.  What a handy recipe if you live away from home too and fancy a bit of the good stuff!  It's basically 2 cups of soda bread flour which you can buy in most shops nowadays, 1 cup of buttermilk.  Bind the two together until to get a smooth dough. Roll out onto a floured surface about half an inch thick. Cut into triangles like a pizza. Then flour a griddle or frying pan and cook each slice on either side until it sounds hollow. The flour will turn a golden brown as well, Voila!

Rhubarb Seasoning!

Hey guys, hope everyone is well! Time for some indulgence.  As it is the season for rhubarb, I looked up a few recipes that include rhubarb in baking. Interestingly found that it goes really well with cinnamon or ginger. After browsing through a lot of recipes making my tummy rumble and mouth water, I decided upon rhubarb and cinnamon muffins.  It was so good to try something other than the usual blueberry or chocolate muffin. They are fairly simple to make and don't cost much as long as the rhubarb is in season.  If you love experimenting why don't you try different flavours like apple and cinnamon, ginger and rhubarb or savoury muffins with rosemary and raisin Yum!  Enjoy your experimenting foodies.
