Happy Tuesday everyone, especially to newcomers to #tweettreat - feel free to read down through the blog, try out some of the recipes, and spread the word! :)
Today's challenge was Bread; either baking it or recipes featuring it. You have been a very busy lot and loads of great recipes came in; it was really, genuinely hard to pick a winner today. In the end, I chose this one:
"Brioche
60g bttr, 3tbsp mlk, 2 egs, 30g sug, 275g pl four, 1 sch yeast tsp mixspc milk into melted bttr, add rest set brd mker on sweet 500g loaf"
That is a perfect example of a #tweettreat if ever I saw one - concise, intelligible and yummy! What's amazing to me is that this great effort came from a #tweettreat newbie, @Danoosha, who is today's rockstar of #tweettreat. Some of the rest of you could learn a thing or two from that (cough@chiddle84cough)
Tomorrow is my darling daughter's last day of school before the summer holidays (can you smell the dread from there?). So, tomorrow's challenge is for packed lunches (cos no more of them for a while) and picnics (if the weather holds!) As ever, the best recipe will win rockstar status. :)
At time of blogging, we have 1482 recipes and 80 celebrities! I'm sure we'll easily pass the 1500 mark tomorrow.
Thanks again everyone, and huge ongoing thanks to #teamtweettreat - I couldn't have picked a better bunch of people to work with even if I had, you know, actually picked you. Instead of you foisting yourselves on me. Love you all! ;)
Tweettreats is a project to collect 140 character Twitter recipes, with the aim of compiling them into a book. All proceeds of this book will go to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders).
About Me
- Jane Travers
- Three and a half years ago I became vegetarian. Three and a half weeks ago, anticipating a certain health diagnosis at any time, I also gave up all added sugar in my diet. My mother is of a certain generation and, although a very good cook, struggles to know what to offer guests with specific dietary restrictions. She once had a vegetarian and a coeliac for dinner at the same time, and nearly lost her reason! So, the idea for this blog was born. Every recipe that features here will be vegan (and, obviously, vegetarian), gluten free, sugar free, lactose and dairy free, and suitable for people on a low sodium diet. That's right, you read that correctly. Even if you have guests with each of these restrictions coming to the same meal, everything here is safe for them. And, before you expect weird and wonderful ingredients to make an appearance, everything I'm using can be bought in larger branches of all major supermarkets - you don't even need to visit health food stores. Try the recipes and tell me what you think!
So What's This Tweet Treats Thingy All About?

What a fun tweetie assignment for tomorrow! :D You daughter is just now going on summer vacay? Sounds like my cousin who lives in Leeds who is also just going on vacation. In America we are blessed to have our kids out of school by the end of May all the way to August. (Note: I mean "blessed" with all the sarcasm I can spit! haha) I hope the day goes awesome though. And I really can't say enough how fun this whole tweet treat carnival has been. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying #tweettreat, cos I'm having a ball. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, your kids are out of school by the end of May? Even Elementary school? In Ireland the Secondary (High) schools are out then too, they have a full three months.
And the days draw out like a blade...
Yeah, American kidlets even in Elementary school let out that early. That's why movies here that are geared towards kids, no matter how horrible they look make tons of money, it's the only thing harried parents can think of to do with them! XD
