Bread, Homemade in Pictures

A little bird told me, that today it is Bread Day. National (as in Belgium) or international, I know not, but I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of bread that I made over the years. 

Rolls and Buns

Bunny Buns, brioche style

Baguette

And just our day to day loaves

The little bird is Bart Aertgeerts. He is about to open an artisane bakery in Koningshooikt (Belgium).

If he ever gets his website up and running, I'll gladly add a link.

Anna Pavlova, dancing The Firebird at last ?

The best recipe, by far, for Pavlova is the one from Joy Of Baking  It has never failed me.
What is so lovely about a Pavlova is that you can dress it up or down as you see fit and according to the occasion.

I never add sugar to the cream, as, imo, there is plenty of sugar in the meringue. 
Use seasonal fresh fruits in any combination you like.  For Easter I like to add some small chocolate eggs, white, dark and milk chocolate.

Here I used kiwi, fresh figs, blackberries, grapes, melon.
