Well I've just tasted one...edible, but not exactly orgasmilicious. A bit disappointing TBH. :(


I might well pass them off as the East Dulwich Deli's!


Hopefully next time will be better. But thanks again, everyone. I couldn't have asked for a speedier response. I love this Forum.

Well, I think I might have been overly critical about the brownies earlier as I have just returned from the celebrations with an empty platter! Certainly the cocoa levels were spot on! So thanks to all of you who assisted during a moment of panic. xx

The Cinnamon Tree ones from Borough Market are good, as mentioned above. I did mention them on the best brownie thread in ED a while back.


Some I am meaning to try are in West Dulwich at the Bakery on the corner opposite Tesco. They look fantastic and are made with Valhrona chocolate. They are gluten free as well in case anyone needs to know.

Hmmm, I just don't like fruit in brownies. Fruitcake, yes. Carrot cake, yes. Stuff like that.


Green and Black's is good to cook with though......


Lady M, you need to get yourself a Tala Dry Measuring Cup. They are available on Amazon. I have three of them. Invaluable.


Does your scale not do ounces?

Fair enough...it was my first attempt...and I wanted to make the recipe my own for a special occasion...but I shall skip the cherry choc next time around and see how that compares.

I'll check them out ...might save another panic LOL! Thanks.

It does, but the markings are in "quarters" (so cannot gauge e.g. one ounce). I probably need some new scales - I've had these about 33 years. Hmmm, you've given me food for thought.

All of this cooking has inspired me


Not enough to make breakfast though, as I hauled mine and Mr VBC's ass out of bed to head down to Dulwich Cafe for a dirty brekky. Now back at home and back in my dressing gown.


But I am now thinking of cooking something nice for myself instead of dressing up and going out. I bought some fancy wild mixed chanterelles from the Borough Market... any suggestions?

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
