Do You Ever...?

Do you ever find a really cool site that makes you think to yourself "Oh I just have to share this amazing new discovery with SOMEONE, anyone!" ?
Well I had one of those moments today.
Hence this blog post.
While looking around for new and unusual recipes I came across this site called Open Source Food.
It is great!
Everyone shares fantastic recipes that make me want to expand my cooking skills and really step outside my comfort zone.

Have you ever made Leek & Apple Soup?



Or Green Tea Tiramisu?



What about Chinese Chive Boxes?



Earl Grey Shortcake?



Of course there are a lot of other "normal" recipes on the site too.
I just love the variety and being able to read other food lovers reviews.

In The Kitchen: Layered Cakes

Layered cakes.
Something I have always wanted to do but for some unknown reason I never have.
Of course I have a plethora or recipes I want to try....

The traditional chocolate layer cake



Step away from traditional (I always do!) and try this Blueberry and Orange Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting



Like berries? How about this Four Layer Cake With Raspberry Whipped Cream and Mixed Berries?



More berries?

What about something really different?
