ROASTED WHEAT AND HONEY BREAD

ROASTED WHEAT AND HONEY BREAD
Roasted Wheat and Honey Loaf Slice 'o' Roasted Wheat and Honey Loaf I have been toying with the idea of roasting wheat for a while now, based on the reality that applying heat to most nuts and other grains puts their flavour into a whole new category! SO, this is just a thought…really...

PULLA MY LEG, THIS MUST BE BRIOCHE!

PULLA MY LEG, THIS MUST BE BRIOCHE!
Is it Brioche? Or Pulla? Apparently Pulla is Finland’s answer to Brioche, in a braid…and based on this delicately fragranced butter rich bread, I would say they did one better…(Are the Norse Gods listening?) This version, sporting saffron and cardamom, is a beautiful colour and the...

BEEF AND FETA KOFTA
Beef Kofta with Rosemary Sprigs Well today was the big day…I had a photo shoot for an ad that will appear in the all new Master Chef Magazine in my kitchen…exciting! I did dream all night long about styling the dish I had planned for a side bar pic, but still sporting a flu (will it ever...

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 course due to the masses of spare time at my disposal,...

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...

PUMPKIN EATER!

PUMPKIN EATER!
Pumpkin Avo Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing Christmas Day and the kids have just left…feeling cruisy, the food was stunning and even though the kitchen is still in need of some cleaning, it is pretty OK. Thought I would quickly write this one down and put it up…nothing like obsession...

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!
