brunch with foodies

October 3, 2011 By Fareen 4 Comments

Last Sunday, we enjoyed a fabulous brunch at Julie‘s house.  Charmian Christie, a food writer and blogger from Ontario, was in town and Julie graciously invited some local food bloggers for a potluck.   Julie has the best potlucks and this was another hit. 

Julie made some lovely scones which were amazing with clotted cream.  It was great seeing Vincci again and she made a very delicious deep dish french toast.  This is definitely something I will try making soon.  I finally met Dan for the first time.  I’ve been following him on twitter for so long, I feel like I’ve known him forever!  He made a quiche topped with roasted tomatoes.

It was fun to meet Pierre, author of Kitchen Scraps.  As promised, he brought something roasty and toasty – welsh rarebit, and something jiggly and fruity – a gelatin infused with lemon verbena and loads of berries.

Gwendolyn made a very yummy glazed applesauce cake.  It was great meeting Wendy from Yelp who brought a delicious baked oatmeal dish.  My friend Cheryl brought a tomato crisp as well as some chocolate tonka bean scones. Both were amazing!

Along with some mini egg cups, I brought some coconut cake pops.  This is my new venture as Sweet Somethings by Food Mamma.  These aren’t the traditional cake pops of crumbled cake and icing made into balls.  These are pure balls of delicious cake.  I was a bit nervous bringing these to some food aficionados. 

Thanks for another great potluck Julie!

    Sounds like a very fun potluck and the cakepops look (and sounds like) they were delicious!
