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...

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...

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!)...

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...

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...

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...
