Berry and Hazelnut Streusel Muffins
Coffee and muffins! Make me a great one (of either) and I'm sold. Somehow coffee is better with a delicious treat on the side. Muffins have a reputation of being breakfast or lunchbox food and I have to admit I find them especially handy on the go. But that does not stop us from making them exciting … Read More

Lemon Curd Tart
I was always a crazy fan of lemon and lime desserts, well all kinds of lemony things (as it is evident from the pictures) but recently I discovered a way of creating lemon garnishes that inspired me to revisit this lemon curd tart and a few cocktails. These were so easy to make by dehydrating in the … Read More

Passionfruit Curd Tart
What does an Aussie Christmas look like? So many people ask me this question. It is hard for people to envision Christmas at a beach or drinking wine in the backyard while firing up the barbie (barbecue) as we call it. Food on the table is bright, fresh and extremely colourful. The options are unlimited as summer is at it's peak during Christmas. So it is not uncommon to choose berry pies, stone fruit trifles and passionfruit tarts over mince pies and panettone. I've made passion fruit curd a number of times but it never occurred to me until now that a tart would be a lovely idea. If you haven't tried passion fruit before, I would really urge you to. It is something so unique, so intense and absolutely gorgeous to taste. If fresh passion fruit is not available where you are, you could look for the canned purees. Topping it with meringue was a last minute thought, one that I was very glad I did. Passionfruit curd is generally of a thick, silky consistency but not thick enough to set nicely in a tart shell especially when you think of slicing the tart into portions. A little gelatine helps and the result is an oh so flavourful, divine little tart. For this recipe I used a … Read More

A very short and quick post today. I had promised to share the recipe for these Peanut Butter and Jam Thumbrints over the weekend but my blog started giving trouble and I thought it was best to hold on until it was resolved.

Fudgy Brownie Cake
My husband and I have very different tastes when it comes to desserts. I'm a rich, creamy and cold mousse kind of person while he loves a gooey, warm dessert. 'Warm' is the keyword! If he's ordering a carrot cake, he wants it warmed up. Which to me does not make sense because there is a cream cheese frosting with it. If he's having a berry muffin, it needs to come warm and that will most often require it to be removed from the liner which aesthetically doesn't appeal to me. So we usually order our own things at a restaurant or a cafe. But if it ever happens that we decide to share a dessert (you know, it happens! Too full but not going to leave without dessert) the only thing we can ever agree to is a brownie. A warmed up fudgy brownie served with a side of vanilla ice cream. Dessert is sorted! As for the boys, one is a dessert lover, the other is not. But brownies win there too. Given that we are united as a family when it comes to brownies, it is good to have a brownie cake in my repertoire for special occasions and weekend indulgences. This cake always does it. The perfect way to enjoy it is warming it up in the microwave before serving and topping it … Read More
