Pan seared duck with cranberry sauce

Duck is quite possibly my favourite meat (so much so that I put it on my wedding menu as a main course). I made a beautiful dinner tonight with duck breast fillets from Silver Hill.

Cranberry lime loaf cake with honey butter glaze

I froze a small box of fresh cranberries leftover from making the orange cranberry cake over Christmas last year. Since that cake went down a treat, I decided to use the rest of the cranberries to make a cranberry and lime loaf.

Orange cranberry cake (1)

Conscious that most of my baking efforts have been lemon/lime based, when I saw fresh cranberries available at the local supermarket, I got a couple of boxes and picked up some clementines as well to make a festive orange cranberry cake.
