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...

THE VANILLA THRILLER, ADRIANO AND 3 DAYS OF MY LIFE

THE VANILLA THRILLER, ADRIANO AND 3 DAYS OF MY LIFE
THAT cake and me! Yes folks, this represents three days of my life I’ll never get back! Really! I cannot imagine managing to put up anything close to what this is, in just 4 hours as the Master Chef contestants did….I have a healthy new respect for those guys. And as for my new mate Adriano,...

CREAMY ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH ACCOMPANIMENTS!

CREAMY ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH ACCOMPANIMENTS!
Creamy Asparagus Soup with extras! Shhhh, don’t tell anyone…but I am working on a little project on the side…only in my spare time of course! With wintery mornings being the go down under, (particularly in Perth it would appear) I thought a heart warming soup would therefore go a long...

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...

LEEK AND FOUR CHEESES

LEEK AND FOUR CHEESES
Leek and Four Cheeses Flan Well it is a bit of a cop out, Thermomix consultants received this recipe earlier in the month, but I am off to Darwin and Alice with Cyndi O’Meara come Sunday morning, I have the flu (will not get sick, will not get sick) and of course life stops for  no one…so...

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...

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...

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...
