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!

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...

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!

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...

SPANISH, FLEMISH, YUMMISH FLAN.
Steamed Spanish Flan Well kids, promised this on Twitter a week back already…how fast time flies when cooking your way towards a new cookbook. Never a dull food moment around here I can tell you. Luckily I have managed to eat some other peoples cooking lately, and have to say, it is a pleasure...

PISTACHIO GREEN SCENE

PISTACHIO GREEN SCENE
Scoop the pistachio's I know I pretty well switch between a bread recipe and an ice-cream recipe lately, (as my hips can attest) but because I missed a whole month of our summer, I am feeling downright summery on this 35oC day (95oF)! That and the chance to play with my friends DeLonghi Ice Cream...
