Hello and Welcome

When I was at college, many moons ago, we were all aware of global warming, the Greenhouse Effect and the damage that we were all doing to the planet. Since then, precious little has been done. I include myself in this list of "just too busy to be bothered to dye my hand knitted socks with the juice of an onion" brigade - but at long last I have decided to stand up and be counted.I am determined to be greener and to save little bits of my planet, but I refuse to pay through the nose for the privilege. So my quest - and yes, I have chosen to accept it - will be to be greener but save money at the same time.

Recipe 2 - Gooseberry Cake

This is a good recipe to use up the last few gooseberries without turning them into yet more jam! Its also very sticky and gooey - sort of a cross between a cake and a pudding. YUM!

3oz/75g natural yoghurt
4oz/125g caster sugar
2 eggs - free range
5oz/175g self raising flour
1oz/25g butter
4 tbsp golden syrup
10oz/300g gooseberries (tinned/frozen are OK if out of season)

  1. Heat oven to Gas 4 180c 350F.
  2. Grease an 8in loose bottomed cake tin
  3. Beat margarine, yoghurt, sugar and eggs together
  4. Add sifted flour , mix until smooth
  5. Spoon into tin and bake for 20 mins
  6. Melt butter and syrup together , add gooseberries and cook gently until just soft.
  7. Spoon/pour the mix over the half cooked cake. Return to oven.
  8. Bake cake for a further 30/40 mins until golden and bubbling.
  9. Remove and cool in tin.
  10. Serve cold or warm with cream.
