GINGER SLICE

GINGER SLICE

Shout out to all my sweet as Kiwi mates, you’re all bloody legends. Just the small issue of you guys pronouncing your ‘E’s’ as ‘I’s’ . I was a bit taken aback when I was last in Auckland and my mate asked me if I wanted to sit on his freshly polished deck….(say it in...

Fruit Mince Slice

Fruit Mince Slice

‘Tis the season to get chubby, fa la la la la, la la la laaaaaaaa. Well it doesn’t have to be if you stick with making smart dessert choices like this one instead of being lured down the slippery slope of cookies, pavlova and that slop called trifle. I mean Santa is...

Fruit and nut bread

Fruit and nut bread

This here loaf of loveliness is hands down one of my favourite things I make. It’s like next level raisin toast, except I’ve gone the no-raisin route and completely tilted the “stuff inside” to “bread” ratio to a level that I like, which is chock a block, obviously....

Fig, Almond & Honey Cake

Coconut Panna Cotta

Coconut Panna Cotta

So Panna Cotta translates to “cooked cream” in Italian. I think I can get away with calling this Panna Cotta because I use coconut cream, but there’s very little cooking involved I can assure you. These babies can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, setting nicely...

Christmas Pudding Balls

Christmas Pudding Balls

Im not a huge fan of some traditional Christmas desserts that people seem to keep flogging every year… Christmas cake, nope. Trifle, slop. Panettone, dry as a nun’s nancy.  But the old Chrissy pud seems to go down alright with the punters. So this year I’ve busied...

CHOCOLATE PEPITAS

CHOCOLATE PEPITAS

So last time we were home in Australia, the hubs picked up a bag of chocolate coated pepitas at the store. Loved them. Munched through a few bags while we were there. Bought several bags to bring back to Dubai with him. Munched through those. Wasn’t until the last...
