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...

USING MY LOAF…

USING MY LOAF…
Fig Walnut and Olive Ciabatta I have been planning this loaf for a while, had a fail and this is the new and improved version.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE…

POWER TO THE PEOPLE…
Persian Power Bars I have been twiddling around with the idea of power bars for sometime as the ones you can buy are; A) nasty tasting B) bad for you in that they have masses of additives and C) because I have a Thermomix and that is what I do!

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 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...

PURSE YOUR LIPS FOR PUR-SIMMON
Persimmon Tart Well my son thought I had gone completely vego on him and had served up a carrot tart. Not so crazy beings that we have recently had raw carrot cake, (stunning) amongst other strange and wonderful kitchen creations..all for a good cause, A Taste of Vegetarian, long since finished and almost...
