About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

These make your house smell lovely. They taste lightly spicy, not too much.

I thought the amount of ginger looked a bit much, so I used one tablespoon less - maybe with the full amount they would get a bit sharp.
I made this with yogurt instead of buttermilk. I had to add a bit more to keep the batter thin enough.

Not wild about this - a bit bland. I did like the orange crème fraîche though, I might use it in other recipes.
