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,...

CHEESEY SCROLLS, sans VEGEMITE

CHEESEY SCROLLS, sans VEGEMITE
Buttering the Dough Oven Ready Scrolls Ready to Eat I am hoping that although a pedestrian recipe, this will appease those who seem to call the office regarding said Cheesey Mite Scrolls…and whilst I am all for Vegemite (used to eat it by the spoonful in my wasted youth) on this occasion I omitted...

SUGAR AND BUTTER IN PASTRY…

SUGAR AND BUTTER IN PASTRY…
Chocolate Butter Tart with Walnuts What else is there…really? If you want a decadent dessert, they usually include those three, and of course, add a few toasted nuts and chocolate and you really have the whole dessert ‘thang’ going on! I know this is a bit of recurring theme on this...

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...

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!)...

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...
