A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!

A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!
OK OK, a little late for that famously Chocolated out day for lovers, but this is just a rework of an oldie on here, and it was for the Steam Oven a long time ago and in another galaxy! Named lust for obvious reasons, (which will become apparent once you have made and eaten this sinful confection!)...

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...

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...

ITALIAN CITRON MERINGUE CHEESECAKE!

Slice o' Italian Citron Meringue Cheesecake Yes folks you read it right, Lemon Meringue AND a cheesecake, all rolled into one delectable dessert. We all know I could practically open an all Cheesecake Restaurant and give the Cheesecake Shop a run for their money, and now with no better excuse than my...

PISTACHIO GREEN SCENE

PISTACHIO GREEN SCENE
Scoop the pistachio's I know I pretty well switch between a bread recipe and an ice-cream recipe lately, (as my hips can attest) but because I missed a whole month of our summer, I am feeling downright summery on this 35oC day (95oF)! That and the chance to play with my friends DeLonghi Ice Cream...

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...

MORE-ISH LICOR-ISH!

MORE-ISH LICOR-ISH!
After a hearty telling off (see Comments on “CALL FOR COMMENT!!”) I am truly chastised and contrite, back in the saddle and dreaming up my favourite…Dessert, what’s more Ice Cream…and Licorice to boot. What more could a Recipe Developer with a sweet tooth ask for? Three...

TUTTI FRUTTI CLAFOUTI

TUTTI FRUTTI CLAFOUTI
OH YUM…yes this was worth every calorie and so quick and homey on a cold winter night at our house. I had to fend the kids off with a camera bag to get the photo before they devoured it and unfortunately for my waist line (and seemingly shrinking jeans) I had another helping! YIKES this Thermomix...

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...

FRUIT CREAM SPONGE ROLL or; The Seven Deadly Recipes, “Wrath”.

It’s never easy to come up with a recipe to name “Wrath”, but this really took the cake (literally)! Whilst delicious in whatever state you manage to devour it in, the wrath comes from endeavouring to roll it, keeping the filling inside the roll and then slicing and presenting in a...
