If passionfruit was a girl you wanted to set-up with your mate, you'd describe her as sweet, with a sharp sense of humour... and a great personality... We all know what that means, and let's be honest here people, passionfruit are odd looking little things. Although 'normal' enough to begin with, they go wrinkly and a bit peculiar once off the vine for a bit. Cut them open and you are accosted by little finger like buds from which the uniquely flavoured pulp and edible seeds hang. But one … [Read more...]
Lemon Curd – rules and bending the rules
Lemon Curd is one of those recipes that everyone has a spin - and an opinion - on. You should use whole eggs, you must only use egg yolks. You must adhere to x ratios of sugar to juice to make it very sweet, you must keep it tart. Use more butter, use less butter - mix it in before, mix it in at the end. Cook in a saucepan, cook over a double boiler. Strain the juice, strain the cooked curd. And on and on it goes. The versatility once made is as varied as the list of recipe options. Fill … [Read more...]
Lemon, Lavender and Honey Chiffon Cake
I am a lemon girl all the way, always have been - only chocolate gives lemon any hope of an equal fight, and it still depends on the day! So I was completely on board when we chose Lemon for our April Sweet Adventures Blog Hop. I wanted to make a cake - Angel Food Cake to be exact - and spike it with copious amounts of lemon. But Angel Food Cake has the same issue as Meringue and Pavlova - lots and lots of sugar. Damn. My mind started spinning as per usual - maybe I could edit it... … [Read more...]
Oat Bran, Almond, Ginger and Pear Porridge
If you haven't noticed there's a bit of a theme happening here. January Loaded Oats for the New Year, February Peach Pie Porridge, March (well not quite March) Oat Bran, Almond, Ginger and Pear Porridge. Who needs 12 months of shirtless firemen when you can have 12 months of porridge... never mind, don't answer that. I had some pears left over from my toasted sandwich and this was the breakfast solution on a busy morning. Pears go brilliantly with almonds and ginger and both up the … [Read more...]
Wild Food Cafe – Bowral
When we headed to the Southern Highlands recently I had quite a time finding any cafe reviews for great breakfasts in Bowral. I scoured the internets for at least 20 minutes during the car ride down and came up reasonably empty handed *insert eye-roll here* so we were on our own to navigate the main streets in search of food. We finally made it to Wild Food Cafe on Sunday morning before heading out of town. After Friday night's stunning dinner, we had a few false starts and encounters … [Read more...]
Sour Cherry, Orange and Earl Grey Hot Cross Buns
If you've stopped by in the hopes of finding the standard Easter spring flowers and bunny rabbits and church bonnets and pretty, pretty candy covered chocolate eggs - you're at the wrong place. If you've been here before you won't be surprised that there's not a pastel argyle jumper in sight. But Easter is just a few days away so it's only logical that I share an Easter recipe. Now I could claim that I'm being all 'lets plan ahead like a proper food blogger and make something for a holiday … [Read more...]
Caramelized Onion Jam
Why did I make Caramelized Onion Jam at 10 o'clock in the morning you ask? We'll blame it on the Pear Sandwich. I needed something to accompany the pears and cheese and greens. Something that is savory but pretends to be sweet. Something that is so ridiculously easy to make but pretends to be posh. Luck would have it there were actually onions on hand and some left over thyme in the fridge so a few onion cutting tears later and this goodness emerged. You could put it in a tart … [Read more...]
