Chocolate Eclair

 I  have always thought choux pastry would be more difficult to make than it actually turned out to be. While the method is a little more involved in that the mixture is essentially cooked on the stove and then again in the oven, anyone who has ever made a bechamel sauce need not fear this delicious pastry. […]

Chocolate (Vegan) Olive Oil Cake

This cake is delicious. I was expecting a dense cake, and was surprised by its light and fluffy texture. I made this on a lovely lazy Sunday afternoon. When I first leisurely flicked through Nigellissima, I was instantly drawn to this recipe. It reminded me of the Vegan Chocolate Cake I love.If I had to […]

Singin’ Hinny

This may not be the prettiest looking scone around, but its taste more than makes up for its lack of appearance. It’s called a Singin’ Hinny and was published in Mary Berry’s 100 Cakes and Bakes. The Singin’ Hinny is from Northumberland, and is an affectionate name for the way it sings when it’s cooking […]

Yoghurt Pot Cake

I do not think it would be a suprise for anyone who reads this blog to discover that I love not only cook books in general, but that I also have a love and respect for Nigella Lawson and her books specifically. It would therefore be logical to presume I was excited for the publication […]

Caramel Pecan Slice

I rarely make a slice (or a bar as they are also known abroad). I’m not sure why that is, as I usually love the result and they are often much easier than they appear. I think it can be traced to a failed attempt at a caramel slice many, many years ago. This slice […]

French Lemon Tart

  My favourite Lemon Tart comes from a recipe published in The Age many, many years ago. If I had to give it an estimate I would say around 2005. It is the most wonderful tart; light and smooth with a lovely lemon taste.

Lime Buttermilk Cake

When you’re given only a few hours notice to whip up a cake for morning tea the following day, it pays to have a few essential ingredients to hand. Or to be creative. I have gotten in the habit, since my move to Brisbane, of scouring fridge and pantry for potential cake ingredients and then […]

Julia Child’s Pear Clafouti

Having recently re-read Julia Child’s autobiography My Life In France, I was reminded of this recipe sitting on my to-bake list. Simple, elegant and effortless, this recipe makes a deliciously light custard-based dessert. I happened to have 300ml of cream in my fridge that needed using up so I used that instead of milk. Similarly, […]

Apple Layer Cake

Mary Berry is an inspiration I often turn to for a reliable cake recipe and I was in the mood to make a cake using apples. There’s always a couple over at the end of the week and they usually get stewed or just popped into my bag for lunch while out of a weekend. […]
