Welcome to the Celtnet Breads, Cakes and Pastries Recipes Home Page

Welcome to Celtnet's Breads, Cakes and Pastries Recipes Page — For the western diet at least, various grains (wheat, barley and oats) were the staple of the diet until the arrival of potatoes during the sixteenth century. As a result there are more variants of grain-based breads, cakes and pastries in European quisine than in any other world quisine.

Here you will find a large range of recipes which do not fit into the 'ancient' theme of the remainder of the recipes on this site. In essence these recipes represent a sampling of the several thousand recipes that I've gathered, adapted and personally cooked over the years. Many of these recipes originate with University friends who helped engender my interest in world cuisine. Others come from exchanging recipes on the internet or going through recipe books to search for things that work (and things that don't) and are the results of my own experiments and modifications on these recipes. Yet others are things that I've tried and which turned out so well that I decided to write them up.

I have a passion for food and cookery that is (hopefully) bolstered by a formal scientific training that lets me know what's happening when food cooks. This is one reason why Roman cookery with it's balancing of salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami flavours is so fascinating (the same balancing is also present in Thai cuisine) and I want to bring this approach to the balancing of flavours to traditional Western and to fusion foods. Spice blends are fascinating as they show both how foods and flavourings have developed locally across the world and how the spice trade (especially the introduction of Black Pepper and Chillis) have affected the major cuisines of the world.

An ice cream is a cold dessert made, at the most basic level, with cream and flavourings and which is whipped to incorporate air into the mix both before and during the freezing process.
