50 Amazing Oreo Desserts Whether you are on Team Cookie or Team Cream, you are bound to find lots of Oreo Recipes here worth drooling over! Piccadilly Top 100 Albums 2013 from Piccadilly Records After a breakthrough year that saw his exceptional solo debut "Queen Of Denmark" win MOJO’s album of 2010 and countless other accolades John Grant hasn’t rested on his laurels but created a follow-up that underlines his uncanny and charismatic talents. Recorded in Iceland and featuring Sinead O’Connor on guest vocals, the brilliant "Pale Green Ghosts" adds sublime notes of dark, gleaming electronica to the anticipated velveteen ballads, calling on all of Grant’s influences and tastes, presenting an artist at the peak of his powers. It’s been an extraordinary journey for John Grant, from a point where he thought he would never make music again or escape a life of substance abuse to winning awards and accolades, collaborating with Sinead O’Connor, Rumer and Hercules & Love Affair and having his music featured in the award-winning film Weekend. That Grant has made his mark is blatantly clear from how Queen Of Denmark was rapturously received.

The Londoner: Salted Chocolate Truffles Recipes» Salted Chocolate Truffles Also fondly known as... Chocolate Salty Balls! I whipped these little love nuggets up for a dinner party last night. A table full of chocolate lovers eyed me suspiciously as I handed them round. "Salt & chocolate? I made them wait until everyone had one in their hands. On the count of three, I said, pop the whole thing in your mouth. With a few smirks & giggles, we all placed one on our tongue. First there was silence. Then the eye rolling, moaning & oh wows began. They couldn't believe it. I could. I hate dark chocolate as I find it too harsh, but the salt works its little butt off to neutralise the bitterness. These truffles are deliciously easy to make, wildly impressive & will pack a chocolatey punch you wont soon forget. To make yours, you'll need: 300g good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa) 300ml double cream 60g unsalted butter 300g good quality milk chocolate Maldon rock salt Break up your chocolate & place it into a bowl. Now you'll need to chill it.
Four Tet’s Text label to reissue lost garage single, ‘First Born’ by the Crazy Bald Heads The next 12″ on Four Tet‘s Text label is a reissue of ‘First Born’, a lost garage single by the Crazy Bald Heads. Many Four Tet fans will already be familiar with the single, as it features on his Fabriclive CD. Released in 1998, it’s a hard one to track down, with no copies on Discogs (for reasons detailed below), so this Text release provides it a welcome second life. Here’s what Four Tet told us about the 12″, via email today (this will also be used as sales notes): I bought the First Born 12” from the Sounds of the Universe record shop in Soho in 1998. I told a couple of A+R guys I knew about the record because I really thought more people needed to hear this (pre internet situation) and this guy Ben really liked it and tried to sign the Bald Heads. TEXT027 will be released on January 27. You can stream ‘First Born’ below, via Youtube.

Four Tet and Terror Danjah to release collaborative single ‘Killer’ / ‘Nasty’ Four Tet‘s Text label will follow its reissue of Crazy Bald Heads’ ‘First Born’ with a collaborative Four Tet / Terror Danjah single. His tracks instantly recognisable due to their signature “gremlin” cackle, Terror Danjah has been releasing grime anthems since the early ’00s, with Planet Mu compiling his best work on 2009′s Gremlinz compilation. The years since have seen Terror find a regular home on Hyperdub, releasing two albums on the label (Undeniable and The Dark Crawler) while also becoming a firm affiliate of the Butterz label. No release date yet for the Four Tet / Terror Danjah single, but Four Tet has tweeted that the tracks are titled ‘Killer’ and ‘Nasty’ (he has, however, since deleted that tweet, so this may have changed). Earlier this month, Four Tet introduced his reissue of ‘First Born’ in FACT – you can read that piece here.

Rainbow cake Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Tip all the sponge ingredients, apart from the food colouring, into a mixing bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Working quickly, weigh the mixture into another bowl to work out the total weight, then weigh exactly half the mixture back into the mixing bowl. Pick 2 of your colours and stir a little into each mix. Keep going until you are happy with the colour – the colour of the batter now will be very similar to the finished cake, so be brave! Gently turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool. To make the icing, very briefly beat the vanilla and cream cheese or mascarpone with an electric whisk until smooth. Smear a little icing on your cake stand or plate – just a splodge to stick the first sponge.
Watch the full-length Brandy & Coke documentary Didn't catch last week's Channel 4 premiere of Brandy & Coke, Ewen Spencer's definitive documentary on UK garage? Catch up with the full-length doc here. Produced in association with Somesuch & Co, the legendary UKG photographer takes us back to a heady decade of underground pirate radio, Gucci loafers and nights out in Ayia Napa. You can catch up on all the special Garage Day content for our Channel 4 premiere here. Below the cut, Dazed talks to Ewen Spencer about UKG and the continuing appeal of dance music in British culture. DD: What initially attracted you to photographing garage nights? DD: America’s got Chicago house and Detroit techno, but it seems like dance music is a part of British culture in a way that it isn’t in other countries. Ewen Spencer: It’s because Britain’s diverse. DD: So much of British music culture is the result of immigrants, or kids who were born to immigrants, right? Ewen Spencer: And do you know where they go and live, most immigrants?
double chocolate banana bread I have a theory that Mondays are for repentance, for undoing whatever damages to your liver, psyche or saddlebags you’ve done over the weekend. They’re for getting back on the gym horse, resuming those eight daily glasses of water, and going to bed early. They’re for kale salad; they are not for chocolate cake. But, guys, those bananas that are one day from fruit flies are not going to eat themselves, and they must be addressed, which brings us to this. I joked earlier this year that I had a new mantra to address all future cooking indecisions: WWAE (What Would Alex Eat?) Well, Alex: 1, Deb: 0 on this one too because it’s so good, I’ve made it three times in the past week. Double Chocolate Banana Bread Heat your oven to 350°F. Mash bananas in the bottom of a large bowl. Pour into prepared pan and bake 55 to 65 minutes, until a tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out batter-free. The banana bread will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature.
