We have a huge amount of rhubarb and my drink of choice is definitely sparkling, so it was only a matter of time until I combined the two. Seriously I cannot use enough rhubarb, our plants so far have produced year round, so there’s not even any need to stew and freeze. So I’ve hadContinue reading “Champagne Poached Rhubarb”

Seasonal Fruit Crumble
This weekend was a scorcher in Melbourne, over 40 degrees both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday morning I’d had enough of sitting inside hiding from the heat, so we ventured about 10 minutes up the road to our friends pool. It was a lovely way to spend the morning, changed up the day a bit, gotContinue reading “Seasonal Fruit Crumble”
Vanilla Ice Cream and a D&M
This post is deep, if you’re just here for the ice cream recipe, that’s cool, just scroll on down. If your here for the ice cream AND the D&M, then read on. A few days ago we drove into Geelong. We were going to buy our first ever brand new couch, I’m on a littleContinue reading “Vanilla Ice Cream and a D&M”
Baked Cheesecake With Poached Rhubarb
As you know, I love using local and seasonal ingredients. I kept seeing rhubarb at our local farmers market, and I love it, but all my childhood memories of rhubarb leave my mouth dry. This months Sweet Adventure Blog Hop (hosted by Nic from Nic Cooks) theme was ‘Say Cheese’, desserts with cheese in themContinue reading “Baked Cheesecake With Poached Rhubarb”
Pumpkin Cupcakes and an unintentional week off
I’m usually one of those annoying positive types. I try to find positives in everything, and because of that (the law of attraction thing), I believe my life is surrounded by mostly postive things. However, this last 7 days was different, it was as though everything I touched turned to coal, everywhere I looked somethingContinue reading “Pumpkin Cupcakes and an unintentional week off”
Inside out Lime Meringue Pie
Nothing says spring to me like limes. I love seeing our tree come into bloom at the start of the season, with those tiny white flowers comes the hope of warmer weather. So when I found out that the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, hosted by Claire at ClaireKCreations was Meringue Madness, I couldn’t pass upContinue reading “Inside out Lime Meringue Pie”
Lime Curd
I’ve always loved a citrus dessert, growing up I would hide behind the fridge door and eat lemon butter out of the jar with a spoon. The sour lemon flavour made mouth water and my lips pucker. A feeling I would often crave, so I’d go back for more. Even now I crave that tart-sweetnessContinue reading “Lime Curd”
Gulab Jamun
I’m away, trekking in Nepal at the moment. Hopefully I’ll find some where to try Gulab Jamun. “Oh thank god, no cooking tonight. Take away. Mmmm, Indian. Ooo I should cook dessert!” My inner monologue on the way home from work. We had guests coming, and Indian take away was already planned. But I canContinue reading “Gulab Jamun”
Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding
The rich aroma of cooking chocolate fills the kitchen, the timer trills and I open the oven door, letting a wave of hot air out. Instantly my glasses have fogged over but I can smell the rich chocolate pudding. I push the spoon through the cake topping, scraping the toffeed chocolate crust from around theContinue reading “Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding”
Lime Meringue Pie
Everyone I know, knows that I love to cook, specifically bake. So when Mum and Dad decided to have a dinner party on Saturday night (to watch the footy) they asked me to bring dessert. And as you know I’m going a little lime crazy, so the first thing I could think of was aContinue reading “Lime Meringue Pie”
