Since today is Saint John’s, the tradition here is to have this after the sun sets on the 23rd and then go party (optionally):
This is what we call “coca”, a kind of pastry cake which Wikipedia will explain better than I could.
This Saint John’s coca with candied fruits and pinenuts is absolutely fluffy, sweet and delicious. 
(The green stuff is candied and tinted watermelon; there is a bitter divide between sane, decent human beings who enjoy all candied fruits and drooling morons who dislike candied watermelon)

I’m so much into home baked breads.
Did you bake that yourself?
No, we bought ours from a bakery, that’s a sample photograph. Baking something like this exceeds my skills and will to invest the required leisure time, I’m not into cooking*… 
*but I can pretty much take care of myself cooking-wise, just not for fun.

I had never been afraid to help out in the kitchen and had learnt a lot from my mother .

Past employers have placed me on the grill at the works end of year Christmas Parties as they know it’s the best spot to put the drunk.
As much as you Fang try to sustain some level of confidence with your last response.
Frosty will never fall for it.
Being able ti turn the oven on and off when the timer rings is not suggesting that a male can cook.

Frostpuppy - Zaera is a Kitchen Witch., did you know that?
The act of preparing a meal is a mesmerizing ritual for Zaera.
In the kitchen stands Zaera - a beautifully evil and serene (humble) figure , standing before a stove, gently stirring a simmering pot of soup with a weathered wooden spoon. the humble utensil is actually her wand, and the aromatic concoction brewing before her is a potion of love, care, and intention. Nestled beside the stove, a modest altar holds an offering of salt, a nod to Edesia, the Roman Goddess of feasting and food. This simple act embodies gratitude for her kitchen’s abundant blessings.
Her kitchen is her mystical realm, where she infuses her surroundings with intention and reverence. The seemingly mundane task of sweeping the floor is a sacred act, sweeping away not just dust but also negative energies, leaving only positivity in its wake.
Washing dishes is a meditative act, a communion with the spirits, as she cleanses not only plates but also their very souls.
She expresses affection for those she loves through her culinary creations, turning meals into expressions of love.
Zaera’s kitchen is a laboratory of culinary creativity, and every dish she prepare is a masterpiece.

Has anyone tried laying a piece of meat, poultry or fish across pineapple slices and then slowly cook the meat in Scillian Virgina Olive Oil? You’ll have to turn the meat or fish over to flavor each side.
A big slab of ribs wrapped around a pineapple or maybe stuffed inside a coconut and then cooked might be rather tasty.
