CILANTR-O, CHORIZ-O, AVOCAD-O, LIME-O QUESADILL-O
Having returned from Singapore with more baggage than I left with (and I’m not talking about the check in kind), largely because I ate my way through as much food as possible in the two weeks…I am now contrite…time to pay up.  But then, I did tell you I was getting on a healthy kick…I...

VIVA LAS VEGAS

The Pavlova is snowing!!Just a quickie and NOOO recipe I’m afraid, though of course I had to do the Aussie thing and make a Pavlova complete with Kiwi fruit, imported Passionfruit pulp (imported by moi!) blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, ALL available, ALL year round in these United States!!...

CALL FOR COMMENT!!

CALL FOR COMMENT!!
Well dear Reader…(s?) The time has come to make yourselves known. Although it sounds a little paranoid, or possibly vain, I have put some thought into leaving this blog up as a recipe resource, but not adding to it…yes, deserting my blog for other pastimes! (NO, not dessert-ing…deserting…as...

WEDNESDAYS AND SUNDAZE

Thanks for all your kind wishes for my ‘little’ boy who is well on the road to recovery and happens to be six feet 3! It has been harrowing, but educational and we are happy that all is going to be well! As he left for work yesterday morning, my DH asked hopefully if I was putting a blog...

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...

I FINALLY AM A ‘GREAT COOK’!

Well I always thought so, but now I know so…yes I have joined another cooking community and they are cooking with gas (and induction, and steam oven, and Thermomix, and Cross Fire and so on and so on!!!) They’re a friendly bunch with heaps of great food and recipe websites, so check it all...

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

Always partial to a bit of daal with most things curry, this is a stunning dip with naan bread (see future posting) Great with curry, by itself with steamed rice or just serve with steamed veggies to add a flavour boost. 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...

RHUBARB RHUBARB RHUBARB

So what’s the plural of mousse? Mousses? Mouss-i? Mice? Not sure, but we enjoyed the Rhubarb Mousse in class last night, despite the fact another 24 hours would have allowed me to unmould them…so note to self; These need to be made way in advance of serving! Delightful, delicious, and very...
