PISTACHIO PUDDING with SAFFRON CARDAMON CREAM

PISTACHIO PUDDING with SAFFRON CARDAMON CREAM
Pistachio Pudding with Saffron and Cardamon Cream I have spent the weekend dreaming up this one, no really, it came to me in a dream. I LOVE pistachios and in the USA there is an evil little package of powder that is pistachio pudding which I also LOVE. Full of preservatives and additives and who knows...

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...

TRIO of DESSERT PIZZAS

TRIO of DESSERT PIZZAS
We have been on a bit of a pizza kick at work. I am happy to say I have never been off my pizza kick. Always loved it, always will. I have a fantastic pizza stone that is unrivalled. It is ceramic with tunnels running from front to back and seems to produce a superior product. (Or maybe I’m just...

WHEN IN DOUBT, ADD LEMONS…

WHEN IN DOUBT, ADD LEMONS…
Baked Lemon Rice Custard It’s not that I’m in doubt exactly, but crazy busy, heading down south tonight (Albany & Kojonup in Western Australia) for cooking classes and some training, so no leisurely cooking for me this weekend. I made this recipe mid week and the plate was practically...

POWER TO THE PEOPLE…

POWER TO THE PEOPLE…
Persian Power Bars I have been twiddling around with the idea of power bars for sometime as the ones you can buy are; A) nasty tasting B) bad for you in that they have masses of additives and C) because I have a Thermomix and that is what I do! Of course due to the masses of spare time at my disposal,...

THE THREEE C’s…(COULD MAKE THAT FIVEEEEE)

THE THREEE C’s…(COULD MAKE THAT FIVEEEEE)
Chilli Cheesy Scones Chunky Chili with Chilli Cheesy Scones I have been completely snowed at work, I mean I am not even Twittering…well not as manically as usual anyway. And might I add it’s a thankless task, insanely cooking day and night, night and day as though every recipe in the world...

COCONUT CARDAMOM KISSES
Nurture the Kid in You...Cardamom Kisses! Honey Cardamom Ice Cream Dark Chocolate Cardamom Kiss You know me, LOVE ice cream, particularly home made…and when there are about 4 ingredients…even better! (Well that’s if you don’t include the dipping ingredients.) A little...

CURRY ~ NO HURRY!

CURRY ~ NO HURRY!
I have made this many times over the years and have added a few touches here and there…needed a blog post this week, got invited to bring a dish tonight to friends, and voila, two birds with one stone. Here we have Chicken Kaukswe, a Burmese (P.C. Myanmar) curry, very mild, very fragrant with...

TART ART WITH HEART

TART ART WITH HEART
Well this post had to happen sooner or later…and I guess it’s officially sooner! I have managed to go through all my posts and look what I found! I could start a tart and pie shop, clearly! Any potential partners out there, send me a message and I’m ready to go! First up in my self...

CHOCOLATE ORANGE RISOTTO

CHOCOLATE ORANGE RISOTTO
Well it IS Easter after all. Slightly healthier than some of the other chocolate options around at the moment, and based on the use of very good ingredients, this should not scare you too much! Risotto is one of the most amazing canvases to which you can add flavour after flavour…and chocolate...
