PULLA MY LEG, THIS MUST BE BRIOCHE!

PULLA MY LEG, THIS MUST BE BRIOCHE!
Is it Brioche? Or Pulla? Apparently Pulla is Finland’s answer to Brioche, in a braid…and based on this delicately fragranced butter rich bread, I would say they did one better…(Are the Norse Gods listening?) This version, sporting saffron and cardamom, is a beautiful colour and the...

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…ALONG WITH THE HEAT!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…ALONG WITH THE HEAT!
Christmas Ice Cream Torte I know that sounds crazy to my northern readers, but as the temperature starts to head into the 30′s (Celcius that is), our thoughts down under turn to Christmas, and ways to keep the feasting cool and casual, around the pool or water somewhere, somehow…what better...

BERRY BERRY YUMMY!

BERRY BERRY YUMMY!
Forest Berry Tart Browned butter just sounds delish doesn’t it? This tart was so yum, that it disappeared within minutes of arriving in the work kitchen…an all time record perhaps. Glad I nabbed a slice at home! The berries could be fresh or frozen but need to be quite tart, (pardon the pun)...

THAT’D BE MINT?

THAT’D BE MINT?
Well a New Year is upon us, so are a few extra kilos and the remains of Christmas folly…dozens of candy canes hanging on the tree. So in a fit of candy thrift (something that doesn’t happen to me very often, nothing lasts that long!) and with the temperature hovering around 35oC (Yes dear...
