fennel seeds

spaghetti_monster

Hi!
Am so pleased - just got a load of fennel seeds from the garden, all picked and now in a jar awaiting some cooking!! :T

Have just been a-surfing for recipes (including here) and found some nice ones - will definitely try some curry-type dishes, add them to salads and fennel bread also sounds nice.

But does anyone know of a cake that has fennel seeds?? Or maybe a loaf of some sort? I couldn't really find anything like that.

Thanks!

My son likes me to add fennel seeds to his mushrooms when frying them in butter.They are lovley.

Thanks! I'll definitely try that one as I love mushrooms.

I've since found a recipe for walnut/raisin/fennel seed scones which I'll give a go.
Also raisin/fennel bread - seems this is a popular combination!

I Googled fennel cake and was amazed at the number of hits! All sorts of flavour combinations that I had never heard of, so thanks to alex w for opening my eyes!

I had googled all sorts of things but not "fennel cake" apparently!!

I've only got seeds at the mo but I'd like to try chocolate/fennel cake and lemon/fennel cake with fresh fennel!

I cook cabbage with a teaspoon of fennel in the water - its delicious!
