Beautiful house in a beautiful place of Prague, near to the museum and the center, everything was ok! A+
The appartment is just perfectly located !
Nothing to add regarding the position of the appartment. The size as well is very good, it is enough for 4persons. Despite the proximity with the road the windows are good enough to let you sleep correctly.
Nevertheless, regarding the drawbacks : there is only 1 ! But important !
The quality of the bed is not good and makes your night difficult. The cleaning has to be done much more efficiently also.....
WIFI was just not existing....
In the overall, I advise to take it if you are young and with friends! To just drop your bags and have a place for the night. In this case it is perfect.
The ratio price/quality is totally respected. It is not the cesear palace but for the price it stays honest.
Jan, please do something for the wifi :)
We arrived to a very laissez-faire host who informed us that the floor had been flooded by a broken pipe the day before and was still damp. However, when he left we discovered it was sopping wet, to the point where it would soak your socks if you stepped on it. There was also absolutely no wifi available as advertised online and in the flat.
Attempts to contact the host asking him to address these issues were in vain - he did not reply to any of our communications.
Eager to explore Prague, we went out, only to come back later to an absolutely foul smell in the flat, coming from the wet carpet, which hit us like a wall when we came in. When we woke up the next morning, the smell had attracted lots of flies. Basically, very uncomfortable and unhealthy conditions to be staying in.
We tried to contact him again - this time very annoyed at the situation we had to deal with - but again no response.
We had to waste hours of our next day trying to resolve the issue with Wimdu, who also tried to contact the host, to no avail.
In the end we were forced to stay another night in these conditions and did not receive any contact or apology from the host for the rest of our stay.
Yes, the ad says it's cheap, but nobody should have to stay in such conditions with such a 'f*ck you' attitude from the host. Luckily, we got a partial refund from Wimdu, but the whole experience ruined our stay in Prague.
Great apartment and great service. I will most likely stay here again in the future.
Jan is a friendly serviceminded man when you get in contact with him but it was difficult to get in contact by sms/mail.You had to make a call and then you don´t speak to Jan himself. Hope they do something about that.
The bed was a bit broken.
/Marcus Sweden
Jan is super nice. The location of the apartment is also very good to explore the city, also a metro station nearby.
The apartment itself was already written enough, because you should not expect too much. But is in the equipment there was everything you need for a short stay.
In the apartment smoking is allowed, would therefore go in with any toddler.
The value for money is quite alright :)
Regards January!
Jan ist super nett. Die Lage der Wohnung ist auch sehr gut um die Stadt zu erkunden, auch eine U-Bahn Station in der Nähe.
Zu der Wohnung selber wurde schon genug geschrieben, da sollte man nicht Zuviel erwarten. Ist aber in der Ausstattung alles da was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht.
In der Wohnung darf geraucht werden, würde deswegen mit keinem Kleinkind rein gehen.
Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist schon ganz in Ordnung :)
Viele Grüße Jan!
Functional studio, quiet, very bright and well located near Wenceslas Square close to the National Opera and the Museum subway station.
For cons, the owner never bothered to respond to our request (only one towel to 12 days per person .... one pillow ...).
End of stay for the appointment of the keys, the person did not come ... we left the keys in the letterbox.
Studio fonctionnel, calme, très lumineux et bien situé près de la place Venceslas à deux pas de l'Opéra National et de la station de métro Muséum .
Par contre, le propriétaire n'a jamais daigné répondre à notre sollicitation ( une seule serviette pour 12 jours par personne....un seul oreiller...).
En fin de séjour, pour le RDV de la remise des clés , la personne n'est pas venue...nous avons laissé les clés dans la boîte au lettres.
The apartment is fine and just five minutes from downtown. As negative note only that there was some dust on furniture. The perfect host. He came to hand over the keys at the time and was very friendly
El apartamento está muy bien y a sólo cinco minutos del centro. Como nota negativa solo que había algo de polvo en los muebles. El anfitrión perfecto. Llegó a entregar las llaves a la hora y fue muy amable
It was a good stay. The location is quite central floor. It is a bit tired and bed a little hard but it is important in these trips is spending little time there so it does the job.
Ha sido una estancia buena. La localización del piso es bastante céntrica. Es un poco viejo y la cama un poco dura pero lo importante es en estos viajes es pasar poco tiempo allí así que cumple su función.
ideally located downtown, near bus station, quiet building, silent, but careful not to be too picky about cleanliness.
idéalement situé, centre ville, proche gare routière, immeuble tranquille, silencieux, mais attention à ne pas être trop regardant sur la propreté.
- Quality assured accommodation

Being Jewish means living within an on-going argument governed by two Talmudic concepts: lishma – all learning is intrinsically valuable, regardless of practical application; teiku – not every dispute need be resolved. My Judaism thrives on the continuing dialectic between words on a page and life as it is lived.
Being a Jew means respecting my heritage and traditions. Understanding where I came from. Believing my family comes first. Supporting Israel. Loving Jewish jokes and culture. Passing on these values to our three sons. Being a Jewish lawyer means a heightened understanding of the need to fight injustice and discrimination.
My Dad was always very proud he was Jewish. Growing up in Leicestershire, we didn't say we were Iranian, but it was OK to be Jewish. Being Jewish will mean recognition, acceptance. It is knowledge, understanding. It is important, when I have a family, that I have that knowledge.
I lived in LA; it was superficial. I felt I wasn't in the right place. Judaism gave me a direction as to how to approach life. I keep kosher, I keep Shabbat, I keep everything I've learned. There is a connection with every person who believes in Judaism, it binds us.
Co-hosting the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony with Simon Schama and debuting my Magen David a day after I returned from a trip to Ethiopia made me very proud. As a child, my Judaism was a lethal secret but now it is what I hold on to. I reconnected. It feels natural.
I felt something was missing. Judaism has helped me to develop my relationship with God. There is a feeling of peace, of being happy and content after a service. Going to the Beth Din was very emotional, I was so nervous, but it was a new beginning.
This week we carry the latest batch of 50 word statements of Jewish identity - from converts. They are especially poignant. What has made this project so fascinating has been the mix of common threads and wildly different views. The more of us who contribute, the better the results will be. So if you haven't yet entered your 50 words, you have just under a month. Do, please.
I was inspired by some wonderful Jewish neighbours. My stepson Benjamin's barmitzvah and my marriage to his father were on the same weekend; the entire community was invited to both. The sense of family, and commitment to it, is uppermost.
The Book of Ruth says "your people will be my people." That rang true for me. Other people in my conversion class had Jewish partners, I was doing it just for me. Now I have a Jewish boyfriend, I'm looking forward to a Jewish wedding and having a Jewish home.
"We have a responsibility to be careful what we say and do, because we all represent all Jews. I have always tried to work for reconciliation. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 45 Aid Society – many survivors speak about Polish people differently today because of my influence."

This picture, painted towards the end of Nicholson's career, was exhibited in London at the Leicester Galleries in January 1941. Mushrooms were a favourite subject, which Nicholson had been painting since the 1920s.
The work is the only example that the Tate Gallery acquired directly from the artist's dealer on its first exhibition. The purchase was part of a campaign by the then Director Sir John Rothenstein to ensure that senior living British artists could be shown at the Gallery by outstanding works.

GOP is in denial about global warmingAugust 13,2006Is there any wonder why it's been hotter this summer than it's ever been in human history? Is there any wonder that the 10 hottest summers on record have occurred in the last 20 years? No, of course not.
The real wonder is how any Republican can continue to say with a straight face that global warming does not exist. This includes George W. Bush, who insists that global warming does not exist because a fictional John Grisham novel told him it does not exist. Yes, you read that right. Bush continues to put the entire world's climate at risk because of what he read in a fairy tale of a book. That's our "president."
Scientists in every country of the world agree that due to human activity, the earth is getting dangerously hotter every year, the ozone layer is rapidly being destroyed,and the greenhouse effect is already in full effect. Yet conservative Republicans in this country continue to put all of our lives at risk by idiotically ignoring the problem. Vermonters in particular will be horribly impacted, as we will soon have no snow, which will destroy our state economy. If you are by chance one of the 47 or so supporters Bush has left in the world, you finally have a reason to be completely embarrassed and horrified by what has happened to our country since the Supreme Court appointed the current resident of the White House.

Brazilian midfielder Sandro has been withdrawn from Tottenham's squad for the pre-season tour of the United States and Canada because of a virus, the Barclays Premier League club confirmed.
Spurs have headed across the Atlantic for matches against Major League Soccer sides the Seattle Sounders, Toronto FC, where they should face former striker Jermain Defoe, and the Chicago Fire as new manager Mauricio Pochettino looks to assess the squad ahead of his first season at White Hart Lane.
However, Sandro - who has been linked with a move away to Italian side Napoli and Russia's Zenit St Petersburg - did not travel, while defender Vlad Chiriches will also remain in London for treatment on a back problem.
A statement on the club's official website, http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com, read: "Vlad Chiriches and Sandro have been withdrawn from the travelling party for the pre-season tour of the United States and Canada.
Tottenham Hotspur: Potential transfer targets
Tottenham Hotspur: Potential transfer targets
1/8 Memphis Depay
The PSV winger impressed for the Netherlands as an impact sub during the World Cup, scoring twice and adding an assist for Louis van Gaal's team. He was excellent in Eredivisie last season, scoring 12 goals as PSV finished second. Depay is quick, skilful and strong and plays on the left, a problem position since the departure of Gareth Bale.
Getty images
2/8 Yevhen Konoplyanka
Spurs are battling with a number of clubs for the tricky Ukranian winger, who impressed against Tottenham for Dnipro in the Europa League last season. Liverpool are also said to be chasing the quick winger, who can play on the left or right wing, while West Ham have already had a £9.5m bid rejected.
Getty Images
3/8 Miguel Lopes
The Sporting Lisbon defender spent last season on loan with French side Lyon, but the 27-year-old Portuguese international has been offered to Spurs on another loan spell with a view to a permanent deal
Getty Images
4/8 Loic Remy
QPR may have just been promoted, but the French striker, who spent last season on loan at Newcastle, is seeking a move elsewhere. He has been a long-term target of Spurs, and could be available for £8m
5/8 Javier Hernandez
There has been talk of Chicarito's unhappiness at being on the periphery of the Manchester United team. The Mexican could be a cut-price option to bolster Spurs' attack
Getty Images
6/8 Nathaniel Clyne
The 23-year-old is another impressive Saints' youngster that Pochettino knows very well. Would tally with Spurs' new emphasis on youth
Getty Images
7/8 David Marshall
The Cardiff goalkeeper made more saves (148) than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League last season, and would nudge Brad Friedel out of the way to be Hugo Lloris's No 2. Rivals Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a £15m bid
Getty Images
8/8 Toby Alderweireld
The Belgium international could be reunited with his former Ajax defensive parter Jan Vertonghen. Moved to Atletico last summer but has spoken of his unhappiness at the La Liga champions
"Romania defender Vlad has been complaining of stiffness in his lower back and is continuing to be assessed to determine the extent of the problem, while Sandro is recovering from a virus and has been kept behind on medical advice to avoid the risk of spreading the infection."
Last weekend, it was revealed striker Emmanuel Adebayor needed a short stay in hospital after suffering from malaria.
Tottenham are also set to face Celtic in Helsinki before a final warm-up match against Schalke at White Hart Lane ahead of the new Barclays Premier League season opener at West Ham on August 16.

The best beer gardens in Melbourne
Time Out's picks for boozing in the great outdoors
The sun's out, the beer is cold, and suddenly, you realise that the bar you're in is utterly devoid of an outdoor drinking area. Equipped with our guide to Melbourne's most spacious, comfortable and well-equipped beer gardens, this nightmarish situation need never happen to you again.
While we're talking booze, be sure to check out our favourite cocktail bars, wine bars and rooftop bars.
Melbourne beer gardens we love
The Alehouse Project
You'll find the same pebbled, statue- and tree-filled courtyard here from when this joint was the Comfortable Chair, but now there are specialty beers and American chicken wings to go with it.Read more
Commercial Club Hotel
File this one under secret beer gardens. Pass through the main bar and you'll hit the big bricked in courtyard overhung by the shady boughs of a tree. There's a little potbelly stove out here for winter, and a couple of covered booths so you (gingers) can drink outdoors in safety.Read more
Dr Morse Bar and Eatery
So this is a collaboration between Jon Costelloe and Anth Daniel, who also owns Richmond's Aviary – something that becomes apparent the second you step into the sprawling, twinkling beer garden, replete with barbecue and the promise of jug-swinging good times. Inside, they've rendered what was once Kiss FM HQ into a golden glowing playhouse, festooned with plants and embroidered cushions.Read more
Fitzroy Beer Garden
Gertrude Street's Sentido Funf has had a major overhaul and is now the Fitzroy Beer Garden. Thankfully the leafy beer garden is still there, but now so is a whole lot of absinthe, beers, DJs and a monthly market.Read more
The Gertrude Hotel
Over the last couple of years, publicans Cassie and Leo Thompson have steadily transformed the Gertrude from non-descript local to beer legend. There's a bottle shop and growler service for take-home fun, with sixteen taps dedicated to the rare and the wild. Plus, the beer garden/ rooftop bar that nobody seems to remember.Read more
Grub Food Van
Dogs, stripy parasols, table tennis and a shiny bullet of an Airsteam caravan combine with Lord Nelson Three Sheets ale and Tromba tequila-grapefruit refreshers. That's some good summery times right there.Read more
I Know a Place
We always forget about I Know a Place. It's easy to do, given its location just off the end of Brunswick Street, but we shouldn't. Inside is a tiny cocktail bar also delivering craft beers, but we always come for the big concrete courtyard, slung with party lights, and serving up beats and hot dogs over summer.Read more
Le Bon Ton
Barbecue, beers, bourbon and fairy lights: the Collingwood smokehouse and absinthe saloon has everything you need for a star-gazing session.Read more
The National Hotel
Head past what could be Melbourne's longest bar to the rear courtyard, slung with lanterns and perpetually full of hip young drinkers and their busy toddlers. The tap beer selection is as minimalist as the walls, but they offer a few gems by the bottle including Hawthorne Pilsner and Bridgeport IPA.Read more
The Palace Hotel
Not only do they have a cracking craft beer agenda at this South Melbourne pub, they have a mascot dog – Billy the staffie - and a courtyard that's open to your own hairy pals. Beers. dogs, and the occasional spit-roasted pig. Bring it on.Read more
Pallino's premise is simple: bar and bocce. It may be a while out if you're not a local, but Pallino is built in a 1950's espresso bar for locals by a local. It doesn't aim to be ground breaking, but it certainly has provided great, new ground for the stomping. Just take note - the bocce is only available on weekends.Read more
Retreat Hotel
Who hasn't fallen asleep on the Retreat's Astroturf? Or been kicked out for attempting to climb into the welcoming boughs of that fairy light festooned tree? Cheap jugs of Brunswick Bitter and sunny afternoons make said antics inevitable.Read more
The Standard
With live music or trivia most nights of the week, the Standard is your classic Fitzroy pub. What sets it apart is its beer garden: a well-loved concrete jungle that is always packed.Read more
Terminus Hotel: Abbotsford
You've got five brightly tiled bar areas, spread around a jungle-y rope-festooned courtyard complete with perving balcony. Big angular struts cut through the place like bamboo, and inside, copper beer tanks are holding Melbourne's freshest Carlton Draught, pumped in direct from the nearby brewery.Read more
The Village
If size matters, this sprawling beer garden trumps all. Tree-lined and the size of a football pitch, it's more park than beer garden, albeit one stocking a hell of a lot of local and global craft brews. Commandeer a table or lay out beneath the elm trees.Read more
The Wesley Anne
The Wesley Anne is renowned for its Gothic interior but the leafy beer garden is where it's at. Battle the band-geeks and hipsters and pitch camp with a pitcher.Read more
Windsor Castle Hotel
Yes, it's a meat market, but the tiki-tastic courtyard of the Windsor Castle is one of the better places to sweat it out in summer swelter, surrounded by bamboo, and bronzed biceps.Read more
More outdoor drinking in Melbourne
The best rooftop bars in Melbourne
Whether you're after beers and sun or moonlight and cocktails, these high altitude drinking spots are well worth the climb.Read more

Stem cell research is on the rise, giving hope to patients and providing treatment for many diseases and disorders. While stem cell treatments are a fairly new science, they can have life-saving effects.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell treatments consist of removing healthy regenerative cells from the patient and transplanting them into the affected area. This treatment helps repair and reverse a variety of conditions and diseases.
Regenerative cells can be harvested from the patient's bone marrow, fat or peripheral blood. This is done to eliminate the risk of cell rejection in the patient.
Typically, four to six treatments are administered depending on how the condition reacts to the stem cell treatment. Treatments are given over a period of seven to 12 days.
Stem cell treatments are effective at treating autoimmune diseases, cerebral palsy, degenerative joint disease, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal injuries and type 2 diabetes. It is thought that in the future, stem cell treatment can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease.
Stem cell therapy can reduce pain and discomfort; it can help patients suffering from arthritis regain mobility. In serious cases, such as cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, stem cell treatments can be life-saving.
Because stem cell treatment is a new science, little is known about its long term effects. According to Cell Medicine, no side effects have been reported by patients other than pain at the injection site.

This Article Covers
Risk management
Enterprise mobility applications company Telispark is to roll out the latest version of its mobile application suite today (Monday), and has signed a contract with Shell for a pipeline maintenance project.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends

Telispark Mobile Enterprise 2.0, is designed to tie various back-end applications, such as enterprise resource planning, field service, supply chain and asset management applications, to workers in the field. The product works with Siebel Systems, Oracle, SA, Indus and other applications.
Yankee Group analyst Eugene Signorini said the Telispark system works by "going from the outside in". Other approaches to tying workers in the field back to their home base usually come from the platform side and have involved large projects that try to "push any application to any device over any network", he said.
The Telispark system works by first finding out what information an employee needs and then locating the right application in the back end that has that information.
Signorini said Telispark's background as a spin-off to Deloitte Consulting has helped it take a different look at the issue of how to keep employees connected to their home base which, he added, will help Telispark in a market generally wary of big platform-based products.
"You cannot make a platform sell at this point; Chief information officers are not convinced that they need to invest in architecture," he said.
"Ultimately, these companies need to think about architecture. But right now they are looking at point solutions, for lack of a better term, for specific workgroups, and that is why this approach makes a lot of sense."
Telispark 2.0 has a number of modules that cover a variety of business issues, including:
- WorkManager, which records the causes of equipment breakdowns, records work performed and keeps track of preventive and reactive maintenance performed on equipment.
- mTicket, which tracks repair requests and triggers work orders.
- mDepot, which accesses parts availability and orders any that are needed.
- mAsset, which checks on the condition of equipment.
Telispark 2.0 also has modules that capture forms and checklists; automate billing; search and retrieve equipment histories, configurations and licence agreements; and track any regulatory requirements.
Shell Pipeline, a subsidiary of Shell Oil Products US, will equip its workers with Telispark 2.0 to maintain and inspect its pipelines and to ensure that the company is in compliance with government regulations.

Apple Sauce Hot Chocolate Brownies part 2
|Story location: Home / Blog / food_and_drink /
I made a second batch of the apple sauce and drinking chocolate brownies. This time I added a handful of dried cherries to the mix. I also used half apple pureé and half olive oil, since I only had half a cup of apple pureé in the fridge (the rest is in the freezer).
When the brownies came out of the oven, I sprinkled 50g of plain chocolate over the top and waited for it to melt before spreading it over the top.
I took the cakes to work the share out and the everyone seemed to like them.
Apple Sauce Hot Chocolate Brownies part 1
|Story location: Home / Blog / food_and_drink /
We have a glut of hot chocolate powder in work, left over from when we used a different drinks machine. I was talking to a colleague in the kitchen and I wondered whether I could use some of it to make cakes. I decided to take some home to make an experimental batch of chocolate brownies. If they were any good, I would make some more to take back to work to share.
Every now and then I use apple sauce in recipes, since it can be used to replace some or all of the butter. We recently bought an Instant Pot, which we use several times a week as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, bread proving pot, or sometimes just a giant saucepan. It is very useful and I fully intend to blog a bit more about it in the future.
We had recently been given a bag of apples from the tree in Emma's Auntie Val's garden. I peeled them, cut them into big chunks and put them in the instant pot with a splash of water. I cooked them on the 'Soup' programme for 15 minutes and they had cooked down to a smooth pureé, there was no need to mash or liquidize afterwards.
I looked up some brownie recipes to get a feel for the quantities, then decided to use the hot chocolate powder to replace both the sugar and cocoa powder.
- 1 cup of apple pureé
- 3 eggs
- 1½ cup of hot chocolate powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 50g of plain chocolate, broken into chunks
- Heat the oven to 180C or gas mark 4. Grease and line a 9 or 10 inch cake tin.
- Mix the apple pureé, eggs and hot chocolate powder together
- Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt and sift into the wet mixture. Fold in.
- Stir in the chocolate pieces.
- Pour into the tin and bake for about 30-40 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
Unfortunately I had to leave the house before the brownie was fully cooked so I turned the oven off and left it in while the oven cooled. When I got back, the brownie was properly cooked though, possibly a bit over-cooked because it wasn't moist and squishy inside.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the flavour though. Chocolate cakes do need a lot of cocoa powder or they just end up like brown sponge cakes. This was probably about right. I tried a square, then remembered that I needed to take a photo to put here. After taking the photo, I made a coffee and ate the second piece. If there is any cake left on monday, I'll take it to work, but I'll probably have to make another one to make sure there is enough to go round.
Apple and Banana Flapjacks
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink /
I found some mashed banana and some apple puree in the freezer while I was trying to make room to put away some shopping. I was looking for recipes to try, something different to the usual banana bread, and decided to try some flapjacks.
The recipe was 250g of butter, 250g of fruit puree, 100g of brown sugar and 500g of porridge oats. The flapjacks were a bit crumbly and lacked the chewy texture you get with golden syrup. If I find myself making them again, I will probably replace some of the sugar with syrup.
Leftover Bread part 2: Bread Pudding
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink /
Yesterday I made both the bread frittata and a bread pudding. The former was eaten for lunch, the latter was put straight in the fridge last night and we had half of it as part of our pudding after tea tonight.
- Bread, 200g
- milk, 150ml
- dried fruit (cranberries, blueberries, sultanas), 100g
- sugar, 50g, extra for topping
- eggs, 1
- butter, 50g, extra for topping
- spices (cinnamon, ginger, mixed spice), 2 tsp in total
- orange zest
The method was very similar to the frittata. The milk and egg were whisked together. The butter was melted and allowed to cool down before being stirred in, then the dried fruit, sugar, spices and bread were mixed in. Everything was poured into an 8 inch tin. The top was dotted with pieces of butter and extra sugar was sprinkled on. Again, the tin was covered with foil and baked, also at gas mark 4, for 45 minutes this time. The foil was removed about 10 minutes before the end.
Banana muffins and Madeleines
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink /
I baked a few things during January which I didn't get around to writing about at the time so I thought I'd post a couple of photos now. I made some banana muffins a few weeks ago, to use up some over-ripe and bruised bananas.
We got a madeleine tin for Christmas. It had spaces for 12 cakes, and the recipe in the Hairy Biker's book said it makes 12, which was a happy coincidence.
Regional Cakeathon Z: Zimbabwe Sweet Potato Scones
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
At last I have reached the letter Z in my alphabetical trawl through cakes and geography. It only took me a bit longer than I expected. I originally planned to make something every week or so but it ended up taking one year and 9 months. I have had to leave the UK again since the only 'Z' recipes I could find were Zimbabwe or Zanzibar.
I'm not sure how authentic this recipe is. There are many versions on different websites, mostly claiming to be a cookie recipe and mostly identical to each other, so it's not been easy to find where it came from. I came across a book called Cooking the Southern African Way: Culturally Authentic Foods Including Low-fat and Vegetarian Recipes which has the same recipe, but without the lemon glaze. This book claims that the recipe was a British invention which may explain why the so-called cookies are actually more like a traditional scone, but without milk.
We regularly have sweet potatoes in the house, so last time we cooked some I grated and froze a tub ready to make these.
- 140g butter
- 40g caster sugar
- 1 tbs orange zest (the original was lemon zest but I had some orange zest in the freezer)
- 1 tsp mixed spice (the original used nutmeg)
- 60g honey
- 1 egg
- 140-180g grated sweet potato
- 400-450g self raising flour (the original used plain flour and separate raising agents)
- a pinch of salt
I started by softening the butter then beating in the sugar, orange zest, mixed spice, egg and honey. I stirred in the grated sweet potato then sifted in enough flour to make a soft dough. I broke off lumps of dough, rolled then into balls then flattened them into cookies. These were baked at gas mark 3, 170C, for 15 minutes. While the scones cooled, I mixed the icing.
Lemon Glaze
The various versions on-line usually have a teaspoon of lemon juice then small amounts of water are added to get the right consistency. I didn't measure the icing sugar. I started with generous teaspoon of butter which I melted then added the icing sugar. I added enough lemon juice to form a spreadable icing.
The so-called Sweet Potato Cookies.
As I said earlier, these were more like a scone than a cookie. One of the small ones had cracked so I tasted (un-glazed) it while the rest cooled. The combination of orange and spice flavours worked very well. The lemon glaze added a bit of sharpness which worked well.
Regional Cakeathon Y: Yorkshire Curd Tart
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
I first tried a Yorkshire Curd Tart back in 2010 when we went to the Otley Agricultural Show. I quite liked it so it was the natural choice for me to make for the letter Y.
The pastry base was a standard shortcrust, not the sweet enriched pastry often used for dessert tarts or pies. I figured that the traditional version of a recipe like this would have a more plain pastry.
I've never had much luck with pastry so after baking blind for 10 minutes, I removed the baking beans and put the case back in the oven for another 5 minutes to dry out a bit more.
I poured the mixture into the pastry case and baked it as gas mark 4 (180 °C) for about half an hour or so.
Despite my precautions with the pastry case, the base was very soft and the sides were a bit too crispy. After baking, there was a strong buttery smell in the house and I was worried that the filling had separated but it hadn't. The tart tasted good, not too rich or sweet. It would probably go well with a cup of coffee.
Regional Cakeathon X: eXeter Pudding
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
My choice of recipe for the letter X is a bit of a cheat, since of course Exeter doesn't start with that letter. I have also had to more or less abandon my original idea of doing recipes named after places I've been to or those with some significance or importance to me. I've not actually been to Exeter - the nearest I've been is driving past on the motorway.
I originally found the Exeter Pudding in the ever useful Cassell's Dictionary of Cookery. I had brioche crumbs in the freezer (which has to be a candidate for one of the most middle class things I've written) so I used those for breadcrumbs. I didn't have any rum or lemon rind so I added some limoncello to the breadcrumb-custard mixture.
Sponge cake
- 2 eggs (about 120g)
- 120g butter
- 120g self raising flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Exeter Pudding
- 150ml double cream
- 150g breadcrumbs (from a chocolate chip brioche I made earlier in the year)
- 75g unsalted butter
- 3 eggs
- a couple of tablespoons of limoncello with milk added to 150ml
- Ratafia Biscuits
I buttered a pyrex dish, sprinkled a handful of breadcrumbs over the base then covered with a layer of ratafia biscuits. I melted the rest of the butter and mixed it with the rest of the 'wet' ingredients. I poured a thin layer of this over the ratafia then added a layer of sponge cake, which I had spread with raspberry jam.
I poured some more mixture over, added more ratafia biscuits, more mixture, a final layer of sponge cake then the rest of the mixture. I covered the dish with foil and baked for about an hour at gas mark 4.
The pudding was a bit sweet but the flavours were good, possibly thanks to the ingredients which went in - you can't really go wrong when a pudding contains cream, brioche and a rich sponge cake.
Regional Cakeathon W: Welsh Cakes
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
Most of the recipes I've done so far have been named after towns or regions. This is the first one named after an entire country, one in which I lived and/or worked for over 10 years.
The recipe I followed was the average of several ones:
- 8oz self raising flour
- 4oz butter
- 3oz sugar
- ½ mixed spice
- 1 egg
- sultanas/dried fruit
- a splash of milk
I put the flour and butter in a food processor and pulsed until it formed breadcrumbs. I then added the mixed spice and sugar and pulsed a few more times before tipping the mixture into a bowl. I added the fruit (a handful of sultanas and mixed berries) and egg and mixed well. I put a small splash of milk in to help it form a dough.
Traditionally, Welsh Cakes are cooked on a flat griddle (another name for them is Bakestones). I cooked them on our pizza stone for about 3-4 minutes each side.
It's been a few years since I ate a welsh cake (the last time I went to Cardiff) so I can't remember exactly how these compare. They tasted ok to me.
Regional Cakeathon V: Virginia Apple Pudding
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
When I started this exploration of regional foods, I wanted to mainly do British recipes but every now and again I have to look further afield for inspiration.
The Virginia Apple Pudding is a moist spiced apple cake and is very easy to make. I found several recipes, most of which were adapted from the same source. I made a smaller version, with more cinnamon and a mixture of apple and pear.
My Recipe
- 1 cup of apple/pear mixture, peeled and diced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup of plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 4 tbs slightly salted butter, melted
- ½ cup of milk
- ½tsp vanilla extract
I followed the original recipe fairly closely: Beat together everything apart from the fruit and cinnamon. Put the last 2 ingredients in a bowl and microwave for a couple of minutes to soften the fruit. Pour the batter into a cake tin then spread the spiced fruit on top.
Bake in the bottom half of a pre-heated oven (gas mark 5) for about half an hour.
After last weeks sago fiasco, this was a lot more successful. The cake was moist, tasty and had just the right amount of spice (I may have mentioned before that I believe most cake recipes under-use cinnamon and tend to increase any quantities given).
Regional Cakeathon S: Selkirk Bannock
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
I had some spare bread dough left over after making pizza and I was trying to think of something to do with it. I noticed that I had this in my list of cakes to make so I adapted the recipe from Good Food magazine to make my own version.
I took the dough and kneaded in the butter and brown sugar. When that was smoothly mixed in I kneaded in the fruit, a bit at a time. After leaving it to rise, I baked it at gas mark 4 for nearly an hour.
My version didn't seem to have as much fruit as the original but since I was adding the fruit gradually, I put in as much as I could until it started to fall out when I kneaded the dough.
Quite a lot of the recipes I have done recently seem to be variations on fruit bread. Since the oldest recipes pre-date baking powder, a yeasted dough was probably the easiest way of making a cake and this type of recipe seems to work well when combined with fruit and spices.
Regional Cakeathon R: Roseneath Pudding
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
This is another recipe where the original version seems to come from a single source. I originally found this recipe in Cassell's Dictionary of Cookery (1894) and the only other version I could find on-line or in e-books was from a New Zealand newspaper from 1900 which repeated the Cassell's recipe almost verbatim. Sadly I don't have the resources to search through actual vintage cookbooks but I've amassed a reasonable collection of scanned-in or transcribed e-books which I have been regularly consulting.
I have no idea how genuine this recipe is, since Roseneath (or Rosneath) pudding doesn't seem to exist anywhere else but I liked the sound of it so I thought I'd give it a go. Since I intend to revisit some of the alphabet to do some recipes I've missed, I may try another for the letter R, if I can find one with a more authentic heritage.
Take 2 eggs and their weight in flour, butter and sugar. Beat the butter to cream, add the sugar, flour and eggs and any flavouring that may be preferred. Butter some small cups, three-parts fill them with the mixture and bake in a moderate oven. Serve cold, with almonds sliced and cut into strips stuck into the puddings. Time to bake, 15 to 20 minutes. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for 3 or 4 persons.
My version of the recipe
- 120g butter
- 120g sugar
- 120g plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
I baked them at gas mark 5 since I didn't know what temperature a 'moderate oven' should be. The two smaller puddings were cooked ok but the larger one was still a bit raw in the middle. A slightly longer time, with the puddings covered in foil to stop the tops burning, might be better.
(The original recipe claims to cost 8d (8 old pence, 8/240 of £1 or about 3p). 8d in 1894 is worth about £3.30 today, according to an online inflation calculator. The modern price for the ingredients comes to only £1.06)
The serving suggestion in the book (almonds sliced and cut into strips stuck into the puddings) is a bit vague. I didn't know if the strips of almonds should be poked in or laid flat. I decided to poke them in, giving the appearance of a standing stones on a hill.
The pudding itself was fairly dense (since it doesn't contain any baking powder and doesn't use any special techniques to lighten the batter). Served with custard, it was a fairly standard, but acceptable, sponge pudding.
Regional Cakeathon Q: Quebec Maple Tart
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
I have had to go a bit further afield for the letter Q. When I was trying to find a British recipe, the nearest I could find was something called a Summer Pudding Of The Quantocks. The source of this recipe appears to be a single website which no longer exists so I decided to find something else.
There is a traditional Canadian recipe called a sugar pie and there are maple syrup versions from the Quebec region.
The recipe I followed was based on the one here but with the quantities halved:
- ½ a cup of demerara sugar
- 1/8 cup of maple syrup
- 200ml of double cream
- 1/8 cup of plain flour
I whisked together the first 3 ingredients then sifted the flour and whisked it into the mixture. I made my usual shortcrust pastry recipe, following the one on the BBC website (4oz plain flour, 2oz butter, a pinch of salt and enough water to bring it together).
The base was baked blind then the filling was poured in and returned to the oven, at gas mark 4, and baked until it was bubbling on top and started to look brown.
The tart was very good but could probably do with more maple flavour. If I try it again I might up the maple syrup content and slightly reduce the sugar. Alternatively I might follow a traditional English treacle tart recipe but use maple syrup to replace some of the golden syrup.
Regional Cakeathon P: Penzance Cakes
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
This recipe came from The Country Housewife and Lady's Director', written by R. Bradley (who was Professor of Botany at Cambridge University) and published in 1728.
The 'same' in the recipe above refers to a Mrs. M.N. who provided several recipes for the book.
Take the Yolks of Eggs well beaten, put to them some Mace finely powder'd, with a few spoonfuls of Wine, a little Salt, and as much Sugar as you please; then add as much Flour as is necessary, and a small quantity of Ale-Yeast, and work your Dough pretty stiff; then add some fresh Butter, broken in little bits, and work it in till all the Paste has partaken of it, and the Dough becomes as stiff as at first. Make your Cakes then, and bake them. They will keep some time.
I decided to make two versions of the cake, with and without currants (or more precisely sultanas), so some would be close to the original book recipe and some would be more like the version from the website above (which didn't actually give the recipe they used).
The original recipe was wonderfully vague, as was the fashion at the time, failing to mention any quantities or times. It didn't even mention any need to prove the dough but I took that as an oversight and left mine to rise.
My recipe:
- 1 medium egg, beaten
- 2 tbs wine, infused overnight with 2 cloves and a pinch of nutmeg.
- ¼tsp each of ginger and mixed spice
- a pinch of salt
- 2tbs sugar
- 2 cups of flour (a mixture of plain and wholemeal)
- 1 tsp bread yeast
- 40g butter
- 2 tbs sultanas
Since I don't have any mace, I steeped some nutmeg and a few cloves in the wine first. I also added ginger and mixed spice to the cake. I mixed everything in the order given in Bradley, adding ¾ of the flour initially, mixing more in while I kneaded in the butter. I divided the dough into two and kneaded sultanas into one half and left the other half plain. I shaped the dough into bread rolls and left them to rise for a few hours.
The dough was quite dense and took a long time to rise. I baked them at gas mark 4 for about half an hour or so, until they looked done. The taste and texture was similar to a hot cross bun.
Regional Cakeathon O: Oxford Pudding
|Story location: Home / food_and_drink / a_to_z /
This is another recipe where there are several different things with the same name. The traditional version (from at least the 18th century) which has biscuit crumbs, raisins, fat, sugar and egg mixed together then fried. There is a modern version which is completely different and has apricots and meringue on a puff pastry base.
Since I usually try to make the more authentic or historic version of a recipe, I had a go at the biscuit version.
Oxford Pudding, 'The Art of Cookery, Made Plain and Easy', Hannah Glasse (1747)
A quarter of a pound of biscuit grated, a quarter of a pound of currants clean washed and picked, a quarter of a pound of suet shred small, half a large spoonful of powder-sugar, a very little salt, and some grated nutmeg; mix all well together, then take two yolks of eggs, and make it up in balls as big as a turkey's egg. Fry them in fresh butter of a fine light brown; for sauce have melted butter and sugar, with a little sack or white wine. You must mind to keep the pan shaking about, that they may be all of a fine light brown.
I followed the above recipe fairly closely, using a generous heaped teaspoon of mixed spice instead of the nutmeg. The mixture was quite soft and the balls of 'pudding' collaposed slightly in the pan.
I let them cool for a couple of minutes before trying one. They were a bit like a bread and butter pudding bite, surprisingly soft despite the biscuits being quite hard. Since the recipe didn't mention the type of biscuits required, I used a mixture of spare/broken biscuits including oat cookies and shortbread.
After I had made my version, I found another recipe:
Oxford Dumplings, The Art Of Cookery (Mollard 1836)
Mix together a quarter of a pound of grated stale bread crumbs, a few currants, a little moist sugar, and a quarter of a pound of beef suet chopped fine, with two eggs, a little salt, and half a gill of cream. Divide the mixture into several parts and boil.
This version is much closer to a bread and butter pudding, using bread instead of biscuit and using a custard to bind everything together.

She has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Terrence Crutcher
Lawyers for the family of Michael Brown are calling for an open and transparent investigation.
At a press conference Tuesday, Michael Brown's family attorney, Benjamin Crump, and Rev. Al Sharpton criticized the St. Louis Prosecutor Bob McCulloch for how officer Darren Wilson's case was handled by the grand jury.
The moment he was shot was caught by both a helicopter and a dash cam.
Attorney Benjamin Crump insisted that Timothy Loehmann, the patrol officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice, should be indicted without a grand jury hearing evidence.
Benjamin Crump said the facts around the case are sufficient.
Trayvon Martin's family speaks about the resilience of Sybrina Fulton and the part that social media played in Zimmerman's arrest.
In a Washington Post op-ed, Benjamin Crump called on Americans to vote in the 2014 midterm elections to help alter stand your ground laws across the nation.
