TASTES OF AUSTRALIA…and A HOLIDAY

TASTES OF AUSTRALIA…and A HOLIDAY
Thought I should let you all know that my blog may a little quiet for a month or so. I am off to the USA this very night to a University reunion, a family holiday, the obligatory Las Vegas and Disneyland visits and basically as much eating as I can fit in! Seattle is the first port of call and having...

FIRE UP THE BANANA’S CRISPY!

I have to admit that this recipe, whilst clever and easy, is not mine and full credit and a big thank you must go to my cousin the chef, Crispy Raykels of Rotarua in New Zealand. What is mine is the BBQ twist and the Rum Caramel Sauce. If you like crispy pastry, (pun intended Crispy) and you like sweet...

NA-NA-NAAN

NA-NA-NAAN
This is so delicious that I ate way too many, dripping with butter, and although I tried with the first lot to add flavour (parmesan, garlic, coriander seeds etc) I subsequently decided I liked to have plain as I could then add flavour later. Great with the Daal of the previous post, great with melted...

PASS THE DAAL DARL! (or; Lentils of Endearment)

You can add some cooked chicken to this and serve with rice, lemon wedges and chopped...

SO CHEESY REALLY!

Well if you haven’t heard or figured it out already, I am totally cheesy and so is this post. A nice crispy biscuit base and top and then a creamy, buttery, cheesey, vanilla-ery middle that requires at least 2 licks of the fingers! Oh what more could a foodie ask for really? Whilst this isn’t...

Pâté en Croûte de Meringue de Citron

Had you going there for a second didn’t I??? No I haven’t moved to France (just yet!) but rather than post just an ordinary every day Lemon Meringue Pie recipe, I needed a bit of pizzazz, and what yells pizzazz more than the French Language? Of course I would only ever use my Sour Cream...

MARS BAR SLICE. (NO SNICKERS PLEASE!)

I realise this is more of a suggestion than a recipe, and it certainly isn’t original in that I’ve eaten it or something akin to it before, but for all you desperados out there who occasionally need a sweet fix FAST, this is the page to bookmark! It is ideal as a school lunchbox snack (unless...

Looking over the last few entries on here I realise what a sweet tooth I am, but hey…I can do the other stuff, so check this out! There were no complaints when this showed up at lunch time on Friday. I re-served it completely cold on Saturday without the oohhs and ahhs, so I suggest you serve...
