This Golden Lemon & Rosemary Syrup Pudding is the stuff of cosy dinner party dreams. The old-fashioned English staple puddings – Queen of Puddings, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Arctic Roll, Eton Mess, Jam Roly-Poly – are all such chic choices for…
This is a punchy dessert. It’s exactly like the lady that I want to be when I grow up. At first it seems quite demure. Faintly coquettish and sweet. You might think it’s even a little shy. But then, the…
Is it just me or is there something totally rock and roll about this recipe? Buckwheat crepes sounds to me exactly like what the Red Hot Chilli Peppers eat for breakfast. They are the kind of health-focused, but super fancy…
Ohh heeyyyyyy Winter. How you doin’? Because let me tell you – you look good. Like, snuggly doonas and flannel pyjamas good. Like, Ryan Reynolds in a nice suit good. You look so good, Winter, Ron Burgundy would want to…
WOAH. Let me just take a deep breath, here. Ok, I’m all set. Hi everyone! If any of you are even still visiting here – Hello, it’s good to see you, I’ve missed you! You probably remember from my last…
Good news everybody! We’re moving house! Or more specifically, I’m moving house. Yup, I finally get to bug out of this tiny two-bedroom townhouse and into a proper, grown-up’s residence. An ACTUAL HOUSE, with an ACTUAL STREET NUMBER, all of…
PRUNES. I figured that I would just put that right at the top of the post, so that those of you who are really REALLY averse to our friend, the dried plum, can take your leave of this page, and…
I have had a pretty hectic past few weeks, which I won’t bore you with the details of, short of saying “GAH CHANGES!” In the meantime, I will tell you about the break that my wonderful man-friend insists we take…
BRUNCH! Now I know that the internet is absolutely not shy about it’s love for all foods breakfast. I cannot be the only one who has noticed that people go bonkers for anything that has a poached/fried egg on top…
This Swedish Toscakaka is the platonic ideal of afternoon tea cakes. It is light and buttery and moist in texture, with intense flavours of vanilla, caramel and almond. Toscakaka and coffee are a match made in Norse Heaven, which, if…
What makes a good recipe? What makes a recipe into something that jumps out at you and begs to be made and to be eaten? I used to think that it was just a case of good food styling and…
OK, so it seems like I’m on a sweet breakfasts jag at the moment. I really can’t help myself. Rhubarb is awesome here at the moment, and with Rhubarb Compote, one must either go the holy way of the yoghurt,…
This french toast is my message to you to be a little more gentle with yourself. There’s nothing quite like a hot breakfast, and this gingerbread french toast with roasted apricots is a wonderful example of the type. The spicing…
Today I want to talk to you about simplicity. To me, simplicity is synonymous with peace. Perhaps it’s possible to achieve peace in your life, when things are not simple, but with my analytical mind, I just can’t do it….
Oooop. I’m dipping a toe in the water! I’m getting that squeaky voiced, cheeky grinned, I’m-doing-something-that-I-maybe-shouldn’t-and-I’m-scared-but-excited feeling again! Wait for it…..SAVOURY FOOD. Hhahahhahaha. Perspective can be such a bitch. Because that is a hell of an anticlimax in terms of…
Aaaaaargh – missed a week, friends. I’m sorry, I really am. Mainly because….I want to put up at least one post a week! No other reason, it’s not really deeper than that. It just took me a little while to…
As a typical Australian gal, I grew up drinking a tall glass of milk at least once a day and often more. Similarly, one of my favourite desserts as a babe was just leftover cooked rice reheated in milk, with…
The Brisbane weather has been a mite unforgiving to those of us lacking in air conditioning this summer. Most days temperatures are reaching the 30s before midday, and we’ve had almost 40 degree temperatures on a few unfortunate scorchers! I…
Time for a confession ya’ll: I have about a million photos of this cobbler. When I pulled it out of the oven, it just looked so perfect, I couldn’t stop myself. My photography skills do not do this cobbler justice….
As I’m sure you can deduce (or maybe you can’t, if you’re in a different time zone?) this will be my last post of 2012! Because it is New Years Ever here in Brisbane, baby! And I am ready…
Hello again, lovely internet. This week we are continuing with the next installment in the Tripped Out Epic Fairy Bread series. This recipe is for an Apple, Peanut Butter and Butterscotch concoction, and I think it might be my favourite…
