Nana's Custard XX

As I was sifting through the leaves of handwritten and cut-out magazine pieces from Nana's Recipe Drawer the other day, I spotted a familiar pattern - the blue and white bag of the bookshop she always gets her magazines from. Written on it, in Nana's scrupulously tidy handwriting (cough), was a recipe for Cudd xx... which I have translated into Custard Kisses!















The recipe was a little hard to decipher in places, but in the end I had two dozen gorgeous little golden cookies with (almost flouro) yellow custard filling.

Gnocchi...

My friend Sarah, Sarah II and I whipped up a tonne of gnocchi last night for a group dinner, and I was feeing all inspired by my first steps into pasta making. We had a tonne of sweet potato, so I took Sarah's recipe and got to work!



I enlisted Neil to help with the blanching... he was very helpful up until about halfway when he started to tire of fishing the bobbling balls out of the boiling water. Honestly... some people just aren't willing to work for their dinner!
