rhubarb, strawberry & apple shortcake crumble
serves 6 Goooood morning – as I sit here frustratedly posting by hot-spotting off my phone as my bloody wifi keeps cutting out – grrrrrrr – madness!

dreamy dark orange, chilli, chocolate sauce
serves 4 Hellooo – and happy Wednesday! I’m getting a bit obsessed with Smith & Caughey’s Queen St store at the moment, and have taken to spending an inordinate amount of time fossicking around on the first floor – that’s where all the food, kitchenware and fancy dinner plates are.

stuff-this-shit chocolate mousse
