I always thought making curd was one of the tedious, pain-in-the-hole things that only your gran could be bothered to do, but my way was super easy. I was going to make your stock standard lemon curd for my first foray, but there was a container of pineapple in the...
Sweets & Snacks Recipes
Pecan and Date Muffins
I love muffins! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post a muffin recipe. Madness. Anyway, these are a nice dense texture, not overly sweet and a winning flavour combo. I hope you agree.
Cranberry and Pistachio Cookies
I should really call these Impossible Cookies, because they are impossible to screw up. Use the base to add in your own variation of dried fruit and nuts and you’re in the zone.
Coconut Yoghurt Panna Cotta
I’ve tried numerous different recipes to make my own coconut yoghurt and I call bullshit on all of them. None of them work, it’s a bloody hoax. So while it pains me to pay the same price for a tub of COYO here in Dubai as I would pay for a decent bottle of wine at...
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
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
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...
CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD
Trump is president, there are people that still believe the earth is flat and influencers on instagram still think anyone gives a toss about their beauty routine. Gwen Stefanie was right – “this shit’s bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!” Well, when the world gives you bananas,...
Choc Mint Cookies
Chocolate and Mint go together like me & coffee, bogans & Bintang singlets, email spam & my grandmother opening it, basic bitches & a Live Laugh Love sign. Elon Musk & bullet-proof car windows? Not so much. Get baking fellow cookie monsters!...
Choc Hazelnut Cookies
While we can all agree that chocolate and hazelnuts are a match made in heaven, I’m sure we can also agree that Nutella can go F itself. That crap is lethal. One would expect the first ingredients of a chocolate nut spread to be, gee, I don’t know, at a wild guess,...
Choc Chip Cookies
Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason why we have trust issues. Don’t worry fam, I got you. These guys look just like their profile pic and their bio is an honest list of healthy ingredients that you could take home to mum. They’re...
