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!)...

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...

MAPLE BANANA COCONUT…got your attention?

MAPLE BANANA COCONUT…got your attention?
Maple Banana Coconut Fritters Well it would seem that you are all on holiday, while I remain slaving away in the kitchen…come on kids, comments make me zing! We are half way through January, almost the week of my birthday…(yes I have been counting backwards from 40 which will see me reach...

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...

RHUBARB STRAWBERRY VANILLA BEAN

RHUBARB STRAWBERRY VANILLA BEAN
Rhubarb Strawberry Pie Blink and its gone! (Don’t care what the vanilla has ‘bean’…what is it now??) I am on my first day of leave and the fragrance of a Rhubarb and Strawberry Pie with Vanilla Bean Pastry is wafting through the air as I write. It is almost done and smells absolutely...

TOP FOOD BLOGGER or CHEESE JUDGE EXTRAORDINAIRE??

TOP FOOD BLOGGER or CHEESE JUDGE EXTRAORDINAIRE??
Slice-O-Choc! Just as I get nominated (and voted for many times…thank you!) I run into so much work that I have no time to create, let alone blog about creating! So in a feeble attempt to keep the banner high, this is a blog about more than just a recipe…its my current claim to fame. This...

‘OIL’ UNLOCK YOUR MASTER CHEF

‘OIL’ UNLOCK YOUR MASTER CHEF
Olive Oil Lemon Tart Not to put too fine a point on it, this was probably my finest hour! In fact, this recipe should really feature in a recipe Hall of Fame or something…no really! (If I don’t tell you how great it is, who will…all you anti blog ‘comments’ folk out there!)...

BERRY BERRY YUMMY!

BERRY BERRY YUMMY!
Forest Berry Tart Browned butter just sounds delish doesn’t it? This tart was so yum, that it disappeared within minutes of arriving in the work kitchen…an all time record perhaps. Glad I nabbed a slice at home! The berries could be fresh or frozen but need to be quite tart, (pardon the pun)...

NAUGHTY NAUGHTY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE PIE

NAUGHTY NAUGHTY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE PIE
Naughty Naughty Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie I have been immersed in a Raw Food Project at work, and frankly this is my break out blog! Not Raw! Not healthy! Calorie Laden! All Bad, but tastes so good! Enjoy…and don’t say I never give you anything! NEED: 240g butter shortbread biscuits (I...

GET FUDGING

GET FUDGING
And this is why this post took so long! Fudge You probably can’t believe this is actually getting up here. Neither can I frankly! Between 186 mini cheesecakes, (go ahead and count ‘em if you like!) and my habit of scribbling notes whilst cooking away, yes, I threw this little gem out with...
