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

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...

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...

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...

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...

‘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...
