Potato Rosemary Bread

As promised, here are pictures for Potato Rosemary Bread. It is a pity you can't be in the kitchen now, the smell of freshly baked bread is just heavenly. I must say making this bread has been quite a long and tedious process. The taste i am sure will be worth all the effort. A point to self, the bread didn't quite rise as i expected it to, i must find out the reason why. On the bright side, you will have many more versions of my Potato Rosemary Bread in future!

Cookbooks Galore!

First and foremost, i would like to thank my dear colleagues for the wonderful present. You can be sure there will be more delicious bakes coming your way real soon! Also, my dear brother and friend who bought me a blow torch with a set of ramekins!! I am seeing caramel creme brulee, cheese souffles in the near future :)

Secondly, sorry for not being able to whip anything up last weekend. I almost died at the Standard Chart marathon and got meself a horrid, red, half baked burn on my shoulders and neck. For the benefit of those who don't know me, no, I DID NOT RUN in the marathon. I find the concept itself utterly ridiculous and insane. I was there doing something else just as torturous and we went without sleep for 30hours straight! I would probably not mind doing that if i were younger but at this age, it would take at least a week to recuperate and that is not even taking into account the damage to my skin!

So to make up for my week of silence, i will be dishing out 2 items from the oven. They are Potato Rosemary Bread and Rugelach. Rugelach is a cookie that is popular throughout central Europe, particularly in Russia and Austria. They look like mini croissants stuffed with pecan nuts and chocolate. This week's items will be a hit for both the savoury and sweet tooth.

Watch this spot for pictures tomorrow and Monday!
