apple tart is easy although making the pastry is a pain in the hole and is usually enough to put me off doing it. and i cant find cooking apples anywhere in new zealand and regular ones just dont cut it for baking. maybe its a seasonal thing although they have all sorts of other apples. you just roll out the pastry and put it on a plate, schlep a load of apples on, sprinkle sugar (add cloves or cinnamon to taste), more pastry on top, squidge around the edges and then put it in the oven til it looks ok.

im thinking of making these lemon and ginger scones this evening. they look easy enough.

Anyone know if cannoli are available for purchase in Dublin anywhere?

as far as I know, Carluccios on Daswon St sell cannoli.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Yes i've seen cannolis in Carluccios. I'd strongly recommend the 2 course 12.99 lunch in there while you're at it.

 

[Jill Hives]

Really? I went in there when they first opened looking for cannolis and there were none to be found. Huh. Had an awful lunch too. I might need to go back now.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

would something like this be suitable for making cakes and shit? its only €26.94

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

i'd get it just for its stylish look.

Yes. I'd be good for beating eggs and creaming butter and sugar. With dough it's okay up to a point and then you might need to use your hands.
