Tip Of The Moment
When making pickles and chutneys, always use a stainless steel or well coated enamel saucepan. Dont use aluminium or copper pans as these metals react with the acid in the fruit and vegetables.

Raspberry And Pistachio Cake
Added: 29th Feb, 2008 | Viewed 726 times | |
A perfect spring loaf cake with an abundance of colours and textures. The reds of the raspberry and greens of the pistachios looks like fresh red spring blossoms dotted with tiny green leaves. I made this truly visual treat over Father's Day Weekend and it was lapped up, crumbs and all only 20 minutes into our picnic. Its that good!

Preheat the oven to 180oC [350oF]. Place the butter, sugar and orange rind in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 6 minutes until light and creamy. Add the eggs and beat well. Fold through the sifted flour, baking powder and buttermilk. Gently fold through the raspberries and pistachios.
