ONCE A TART…..

ONCE A TART…..
I know I know, ‘Tarts R Us’…that is what I could call this blog quite easily…and no other jokes in the tart arena are acceptable to me…so watch out! I did this during the week to great acclaim at the office and have to say that the sliver I managed to get before literally...

OF HONEY, FIGS, ALMONDS AND THE LIKE!

OF HONEY, FIGS, ALMONDS AND THE LIKE!
Well it was tough, but someone had to eat it! Luckily I made this one at work and the office staff were happy to oblige…otherwise my ever increasing girth would be even girthier! My sister Kerri provided me with some of her lovely fresh figs and of course I had to blog about them! I took on the...

THE FULL WILLY!

THE FULL WILLY!
Yes, The Full Willy! As in Willy’s Wonky Chocolate…its a long story, but after watching the amazing Willy on SBS and being totally charmed by the romance of it all, I happened to visit my sister and found that her husband had gone ahead and ordered some of Willy’s amazing chocolate...

POPPING SINGLE HANDEDLY!

POPPING SINGLE HANDEDLY!
Well I have a work related injury, and it is impeding my typing, but never my cooking! I sliced my fore finger open like I was filleting a fish! OUCH…a roll of paper towel, nausea attack, visit to the Doc for super glue and butterfly tapes later, I am typing with great difficulty. With an enforced...

PUMPKIN EATER!

PUMPKIN EATER!
Pumpkin Avo Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing Christmas Day and the kids have just left…feeling cruisy, the food was stunning and even though the kitchen is still in need of some cleaning, it is pretty OK. Thought I would quickly write this one down and put it up…nothing like obsession...

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...

IN THE RAW!

IN THE RAW!
Hazelnut Brownie Slice Well folks, I have been introduced to Raw Foodism of late, and in a quest to make something delicious that meets the raw food criteria, I came across a lovely picture of a Raw Brownie, no recipe, just a pic, and I think this recipe is almost it, but perfectly awesome in it’s...

FEEDING A MASTER CHEF JUDGE! OY-VAY!

FEEDING A MASTER CHEF JUDGE! OY-VAY!
Georgie and me Chocolate Frangipane Croissant Well its official, George is a really nice Master Chef! I had the privilege of feeding him breakfast last Friday and although I have put this recipe up here before (in the deep dark recessed archives somewhere!), I persuaded myself that it was almost a Croissant...

SOW A FEW CRANBERRY AND PECAN WILD OATS

SOW A FEW CRANBERRY AND PECAN WILD OATS
Maple and Cranberry Toasted Crunch Muesli, Granola, Floor Sweepings, Cereal, Crumble…the names go on. My husband has a (dare I say it?) fetish for a crunchy start to his day…or for that matter would prefer a bowl of this with icy cold milk for dessert on most nights. Not for him the rich,...
