My good ole cookbook and handwritten recipes!!

My worn and tattered but much-loved 34 year old cookbook!!

Check-out my childish handwriting, hehe..

The recipe on the first page- Pineapple Lemon Bavarian (to my knowledge this came from a British mag-The Woman's Own ) I can't remember trying this out though!

Frangipanni Cake

Now, I can't remember where this one came from but I know that my sister and I baked this cake with good results and judging from the stains, many a-times too!! I know that it tasted really good; now why haven't I baked this cake since???! Giving me ideas, this....

Devil's Food Cake

I don't have to tell you (by the look of those stains!) that this was and still is a much-loved recipe. To the best of my knowledge, this recipe came from my sister's classmate/and our neighbour Catherine Kiew. She had a penpal in New Zealand who had given her the recipe ( there are other recipes from this source, in my book) and she had passed it on to my sister. I must've baked this cake a thousand times!!

Both my elder boys had birthday cakes in all forms; a race-track, football field, space rocket, monsters etc with this recipe as a base.. I've made some minor alterations to the recipe and usually make a double batch for birthday cakes...

More to come , folks!
