Fig and Almond Roulade
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but since Covid 19 reared its ugly head, there seems to be a lot more home cooking going on. My Instagram and Facebook feeds are packed with everyday people making some pretty fancy recipes. The type they most likely wouldn’t have tried before due to lack of time, more…
Flourless Lemon Ricotta Cake
I have tried for so many years to grow a lemon tree in my back yard. I’m not really a green thumb, so I’m not the type to have a whole veggie garden going on. I just like a few things so I can pick them fresh, things like fresh basil, parsley, chillies, cherry tomatoes,…
Quick Almond Cake
This almond cake comes from one of my favourite books from my cookbook collection: Casa Moro by Sam and Sam Clark ( a husband and wife duo who amusingly share the same name). The reason why it is one of my favourites is because the Moroccan/Spanish recipes are so full of flavour, gutsy, yet simple…
Pantry Pickings – Seville Orange Marmalade and Almond Tart
I have a confession to make: I’m guilty of buying food I don’t need. Not every day food, I’m talking gourmet, baby – you know, the stuff no-one really needs? When I visit a gourmet store, I’m like a kid in a candy shop. I want to buy everything. It’s just too tempting, especially when…
My New Cookbook is Officially Out on the Shelves
My new cookbook is officially out! As I sit here drinking my third coffee for the morning, listening to the whir of the air conditioning in the background and contemplating the news that we may be hit with a cyclone by the weekend, my book is sitting on bookstore shelves and being ordered through cyberspace….
My New Book!! Food for Sharing – Italian Style
I am so excited to be able to announce that my newest book is available now. Food for Sharing – Italian Style is all about food you want to share, big plates of food plonked down into the middle of the table for everyone to dig in. This book was inspired by my family, and…
Quick Raspberry Compote
This easy 2 ingredient raspberry compote can be used in so many ways. Stir through yoghurt for breakfast, dollop on ice-cream for dessert, spoon over a pavlova, spread on toast or pancakes, or use to fill a sponge cake with whipped cream. Try swirling some through softened vanilla ice-cream and re-freeze for a Berrylicious treat….
Tiramisu Ice-Cream Sandwiches
I love making desserts that are quick and easy, yet look like I’ve spent hours in the kitchen. Happy to take shortcuts, this is one dish that looks and tastes amazing but requires hardly any effort. The Tiramisu flavoured ice-cream is good enough to eat on it’s own, but sandwiched in-between sponge finger biscuits this…
Strawberry, Spinach and Walnut Salad
I love summer – all the good fruit is out. Mangoes, nectarines, apricots, plums, peaches and strawberries. I know you can get strawberries most of the year, but the only time they really taste like they should is when the weather is warm and they have ripened in the sun. You know it’s good when…
