Blackberry Meringue Pie

10th August 2015 By Urvashi Roe

blackberry meringue pie

“There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. `Very […]

Canapés – the saving grace of my 'minglephobia'

22nd October 2011 By Urvashi Roe

I’ve been to a few Gala Dinners and Drinks Receptions for work recently. It’s that time of year.  I know I should be enjoying the dressing up part and the celebration itself.  Don’t get me wrong, I love wearing an evening gown and heels and jewellery and being all girly.  But ‘networking’ is soooo scary isn’t it? […]

Mini Blackberry Meringue Pies

22nd October 2011 By Urvashi Roe

Every now and then I have a canape craze – especially when we have people over for dinner. I make mini food. ‘Pick-up-and-pop-me-in-your-mouth’ food.

Blackberry Curd Macaroons

22nd October 2011 By Urvashi Roe

Whenever I have left over egg whites, I whizz up some macaroons. I know that sounds rather pretentious but once you’ve made macaroons a few times, you’ll get into the swing of it.  I made these with the leftover egg whites from my Blackberry Curd recipe. YOU’LL NEED 250g icing sugar 250g ground almonds 220g […]

Blackberry Curd

22nd October 2011 By Urvashi Roe

Lemon Curd is fantastic but I have often wondered if it would work just as well with other tart fruits like Blackberry.  I found this recipe on the Waitrose website for blackcurrants so I thought I’d give it a go with blackberries.  I had a few blackcurrants in the freezer so threw them in too. […]

Blackberry Breakfast Muffins

19th September 2011 By Urvashi Roe

This is the same basic muffin recipe as the Blueberry version.  It’s so quick and perfect for freezing.  I freeze the blackberries as soon as we’ve picked them too – if there are any left of course! This way they retain their shape really well in the baking process and you get a nice juicy […]
