Lordy, lordy, lordy it’s been a busy few weeks…but first the brownie. They are made with sultanas that have been soaked over-night in port, loads of intense dark chocolate and beautifully rich Dutch cocoa powder – the result is the most fabulously indulgent brownie ever. And moist? (Yup I said it). They are indeed. To […]
…& a recipe for steamed caramel and ginger pudding with caramel, ginger sauce
Lordy lordy I have one epic recipe for you today! It is the second in my current collaboration with Castello and utilises their absolutely outrageous Castello Double Cream Truffle Brie and involves salty pancetta, sweet onion, earthy mushrooms, soft pillowy gnocchi, and a crumbling of walnuts…but seriously the thing that makes it so decadent is […]
Well good morning and happy Wednesday! Today’s recipe is such a treat to share, and part of my latest collaboration with the good people at Castello – a super easy, totally decadent and delicious puff pastry tart loaded with sweet caramelised onions, luscious figs, cured prosciutto and melted Castello Double Cream Brie. Topped with a […]
…packed full of autumnal flavours!
Today’s recipe is one which is a real no-brainer to have in your repertoire, especially at the height of barbecue season – the all-time, absolute, ultimate potato salad! As you can see from the pic this beauty of a dish is absolutely loaded with all the good stuff, with flavour matches all over the show. […]
Happy Friday! I was going to call this a picnic tart and salad, but given the weather forecast for the weekend I won’t…let’s call it a summer harvest tart instead? Personally I can’t wait for a bit of wild, wet weather, lovely as the summer sun has been, it’s just about at ‘too much of […]
Happy Saturdaaaaaay! How amazing is this weather…so beautiful, my lawn is basically dust, but I can’t get too bothered about it when the sun keeps shining. Right then, today’s recipe is another little collab with my mates at Best Foods using their bloody fabulous mayonnaise with lime juice, zest and garlic in a cheeky little […]
Goooood morning, and happy Sunday! It looks like another, cloudless, blue-sky day outside my bedroom, so a perfect morning to share these two luscious, summery desserts. Both have a coffee base but with a twist – the first is an espresso panna cotta which is rich, cool and creamy, yet still light – magic. (The […]
Goooood morning and happy Waitangi Day! Today’s recipe is a perfect one for enjoying with friends around the barbecue on a balmy summer’s evening, and super easy to prepare – bonus points. Juicy, spiced beef patties are slathered in tomato salsa, avo and smoked paprika-spiked mayo then topped with a fresh, crunchy slaw and fragrant […]
Well hellooooo – here we are three weeks into 2019 and I feel like I’m properly ‘back’ (even though I never really went away…). This recipe is one I put together for Fairfax, so appearing on Stuff, and in newspapers around the country today – and it is bloody delicious if I say so myself! […]
Happy New Yeeeeeeeeear!!!!! Welcome back for 2019, I hope your year has started as well as mine has…(more on that later), first up I thought we would ease into things very gently with something which is barely a recipe at all – simple smoked salmon with feta and ricotta whip. I originally put this together […]
And now for my second decadent recipe in association with the good people at Breville – I have one of these magnificent Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Machines to give away, as well as a rich and dreamy dark chocolate ice cream recipe to share. I often make ice cream without an ice cream machine, […]
Well, by crikey, do I have a treat for you! In what is bound to be my penultimate post of the year I have collaborated with the lovely people at Breville to create two recipes with a competition to WIN one the fabulous appliances used in their creation. (Two chances to win!) The first recipe […]
