So, starting with the lowest scorer of top 10:
No. 10 Chocolate bundt cake with crystallised violet petals was pretty and tasty. I was actually quite proud of that cake.
No.9 Apple bread was baked with the apples from our own garden. We had a huge crop this year, and I've been trying to use as many apples as possible. Not a great looker, but tasted lovely.
No. 8 Salad with spring greens was made with freshly picked new dandelion leaves, garlic greens and primroses. Can't wait for a new batch of greens to appear in the garden when the spring comes.
No.7 Italian style scrambled eggs were a twist on a scrambled eggs dish, and very nice they were too. But is it worthy of being in top 10? Not in my opinion. Yet it had a lot of visitors.
No.6 Pasta alla Norma is a classic Italian recipe of a pasta cooked with aubergines and creamy ricotta cheese. Pure comfort food.
No. 5 Coconut sugar cookies were made with a coconut sugar, flavoured with tamarind and turmeric. This was the first time I have tried the coconut sugar in baking.
No.4 Grilled prawns and courgette salad was full of summer flavours. Last summer we were eating lots of salads, and after all the winter stodgy comfort foods I am craving some salads now.
No.3 Lemon drizzle cake recipe was inspired by the book I read back in summer, called Hippy Dinners. It was a wonderfully moist zesty cake, and I really must bake it again soon.
No. 2 A Russian recipe for Curd cheese cookies was one of the top contenders for the laurels of the most popular blog recipe of 2015. Maybe the photos looked appetizing, as the photo of these cookies has also appeared as one of my most liked images on Instagram for the last year.
Yet I would have never guessed that the first place will go to...
No.1. Blackberry and apple pie, a timeless classic, simple and delicious. It is a super seasonal treat, which we all enjoy so much.
Happy new year!
