Holidays and visiting family in my household mean loads of primally inspired/paleo cooking & baking. It’s bonus time for me with numerous members of the family introducing new and cooking up old favourites. These holidays are no exception.

Also with a break from the 9-5 hurly burly, there has been also time to change out my blog masthead image. My Chocolate Fudge Cake with Strawberry Cream has stood the test of time. It was one of the first primally inspired cakes I had made and was at the beginning of my food photography passion – all soft blurs (read, out of focus because I hadn’t worked out the focusing thingi on the camera!).

I’m definitely a fan of summer – a long hot day at the beach is more my style than the dark, dull, cold wet days of an Auckland winter. But one bonus of having to endure winter is that at this time of the year my little Meyer lemon tree comes up trumps. This year is pretty exceptional and the poor wee tree is so loaded with fruit some of its branches are bending and in danger of snapping right off!

What to do with lemons? Preserving and baking come to mind and I’ll leave Preserved Lemons for another post. So baking it is, something tangy with a hint of sweetness. A tasty treat to have with morning coffee or afternoon tea or eaten warm with whipped cream for dessert? So how about this then?
