honey almond & ginger slice

I asked a couple of months ago what people wanted to read here, and the resounding response from facebook was recipes. But as much as I love baking, I'm a long way from a recipe developer (baking works for me because it is precise, you follow the recipe or it fails, and I've had very few fails in my life), so I've had this idea floating around in the back of my head for a while. I had to do a bit of research to see if it was ok (and I'll share that research later in the week), but meanwhile, I'm launching "cook the magazine" today.

The idea is that I'll finally put those magazines I buy every month to good use, and actually cook recipes from them, and then share them here. It will force me to try new things, and you'll know that the recipe works. win win, in my books.

review
my slice tray was too small for this batter, so it overflowed a bit.
nice, light ginger and honey taste
especially good warm from the oven
kids loved it

Do you regularly cook from the magazines you buy?
