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!)...

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...

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...

PASS THE HONEY…HONEY!

PASS THE HONEY…HONEY!
Honey Pecan Ice Cream Well you may have noticed a few changes around here…not least of which is the stunning new site which is still getting altered bit by bit by my very helpful nephew Luke! (Thank you) Of course, being the almost complete computer illiterate that I am, there may be more errors...

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...

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...

‘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)...
