Carrot Cake

Oh, the dilemmas of chalet baking. Is it cake, cookies, brownies, biscuits, butter icing, water icing, cream cheese frosting…….the list is endless and your time is not.

A very important birthday called for me to make a cake so, I went out and purchased a baking book called the Hummingbird bakery cookbook. It stated it was a best seller and on recommendation from a friend I purchased it on Amazon for just under £9.

My test is: When I bake a cake does it, (a) work (b) look like the picture (c) taste good.

Well that’s for you to decide but I can tell you it was pretty tasty if I say so myself!

Emma in The Alpine Cookery Course winter office

It is that time of year again and as the winter comes to a close we are already starting to look forward to the summer and The Alpine Cookery Courses. The question I ask myself is why do we go back time and time again to a country where I can barely speak the language, the cost of a mushroom is more than a gold bar and my accommodation resembles ‘the old woman who lived in a shoe.’ My knees hurt (that could be my age) and I have what can only described as a bad tan line from my nose down.

Lets just say once a winter season gets a firm grip of you, good luck to those who think they want to go and work in an office with a small window to breathe polluted air through, sitting on your bottom for nine hours a day, traveling to and from work in the dark and the rain for at least six months of the year. Your day is spent clock watching waiting for your lunch hour to eat a ‘low fat’ sandwich at your desk with your fifth cup of coffee…Is this as exciting as your day gets?

Last week was the calm before the storm. The coming week is the busiest week of the season as it is school holidays for many countries. I have therefore been making the most of this week skiing as much powder as I can.
We headed over to Bruson, a hidden gem in the Verbier ski area and hit some deep powder whilst trying to avoid hitting the trees. We managed to get thoroughly lost but popped out at the bottom completely exhausted and very happy. We then completed the day with a bowl of the local nettle soup. Ortie is the French work for nettle, something I don’t come across often in the supermarket. Maybe a new recipe for The Alpine Cookery Course manual!
