Hello everybody.
My hubby’s friends are coming over tonight,I had no idea of what to do till I came back from a visit to my uncle’s house at noon, guess once you enter the kitchen ideas will flow.
Result was some cheese and chicken pastries,fruit salad and a beautiful cake that I found in Jammie Oliver’s website,it’s a typical British cake served usually at tea time.I used my new cake slicer to make 4 layers of it then stuffed each layer with strawberry jam, cream and coconut.
Lunch was lasagna and a dish of labaneh with hedge mustard ( حويرنه)
Ingredients and method:
* 1 1/2 cups butter.
