Lucky Melbourne, support the mania I say! I do LOVE me some Mexican food. If you are a fan of this style grilled corn and find yourself in NYC you must go to Cafe Habana and eat their corn, it is incredible and intensely addictive.

Thanks Andi. You too.

It does seem like Mexican is everywhere in Melbourne at the moment! I do love a good fish taco though and I'm not complaining if there are lots of places here to buy them! :)

Fish tacos are seriously underrated and a very rare thing in London

I am jealous of the hungry one. Jamon from Brindisa - bring it on!

Great piece! Feel exactly the same about Valentines in restaurants. The Hungry One is getting some pudding, sorting of his socks and some jamon from Brindisa. I think that about covers it.

Gorgeous colour! I love rhubarb so much, I've never made it into ice cream before but I can imagine how delicious it'd be. I know what you mean about first name basis, it's all "Nigella" with me ;)

Kanata - It's a great way to use up rhubarb - hope you like it

Penny - It was

The Little Loaf - Yes the crumble gives it a really nice texture. I will have to check you out on Pinterest.

Tori - So, so dangerous...

Ute - Yes it could be a bit chilly in the UK right now. Mind you I am a big believer in ice cream at all times of the year.

Katy - So addictive I agree. That's a good point about Pinterest being good as it is small, I think Twitter was better when it was smaller as well.

2012-02-14T08:47:08.575+11:00

Am obsessed with Pinterest - it's so addictive. I hope as it grows bigger the quality of stuff posted stays so high, like this scrummy ice cream x

Sounds great! I have never made ice cream, doesn't look to difficult. I might wait for the summer to come though.

Brilliant, brilliant stuff. Am pretty fascinated by pinterest- but not sure if I trust myself to find another forum for procrastinating...

2012-02-13T22:54:48.411+11:00

This looks like my kind of recipe - I love rhubarb in ice cream so making a crumble version is even better! This is such a gorgeous colour too - yum.

ps am now following you on Pinterest. I've only just got into it too but could happily while away hours there.

oh YUM! This sounds absolutely delicious.

Helena - Sorry to hear it did not work out for you on the first attempt and glad to hear second time around it was better. Yes using natural food colouring seems to be an issue with baking it comes out looking browner. Sadly you have to go for the ones with all the preservatives and E numbers. Dr Oetker is good as other commentators have noted.

2012-02-13T12:31:21.824+11:00

Is the issue that you can't get buttermilk (as I can suggest a substitute for it) or that you are allergic or something like that? As for salt you can leave that out but obviously it will change the taste of the cupcakes.

2012-02-13T12:30:02.892+11:00

Yes Dr Oetker is a good one to use but I have used a few different brands all with success. I think the ones to stray away from are the natural food colouring as sadly they just make it brown.

Good to hear it worked out Darren
