The Bake Club, Auckland

On Sunday I went to my first 'social' of the Bake Club. Frances was the host, Nicola and Ginny were there with their baking (the Bake Club is going through a Gluten Free stage now, it seems) and, possibly something unusual for a blogging club, the partners were there too.

Usually I see food bloggers meetings made up by ladies, often with kids, so having the blokes there made it seem quite different. It is also the only blogging club I know of in Auckland... in New Zealand actually. And I got my badge!!!!

I took a lot of photos with my little camera, but I cannot find the cable to download them! I can only post the photos I took at home...

We had to bring some baking, fortunately for me the day before I had the neighbours

for afternoon tea (we never see them because there are too many trees around), and I had some food ready.

The marzipan and calissons....

And then as a quick fix i just dipped some cake squares in melted chocolate and topped them with a raspberry.

To bake something savoury, and gluten free, I picked my very first zucchini from the garden.

Cooked them with olive oil, garlic and salt.

I cleaned and flatten the zucchini flowers,

And placed everything nicely in a baking pan lined with baking paper.

I whipped 6 eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper and a drop of olive oil until really foamy (thanks to my new kitchen aid!!!)

Poured it on top of the zucchini,

Baked at 160°C for ... 25 minutes? About that ... I got distracted. Anyway, it smelled ready so I took it out.

Flip it over and ecco pronta a gluten free baked frittata! Thank you for the great afternoon Frances :-)
