Not only is my brain currently as fried as the eggs I've been photographing lately, but each time this little corner of the internets has caught my eye I've avoided its accusing glare, brewed a fresh cup of tea and settled in for yet another late night. We're on the precipitance of a reasonably last minute holiday -- provided I don't disintegrate into a pile of burnt toast crumbs before we board the plane to NYC -- but it's been far too long since a new recipe has graced these pages and it's … [Read more...]
Roasted Tomato & Tuna Pasta
I've realised recently (or perhaps I've been aware of it for quite a while, ahem) that I rarely share recipes for actual meals here. Cakes and cookies are well represented as are sides and sauces and things made with bourbon, but it seems -- other than an occasional sandwich which totally counts as a complete meal -- that brunch is about as close as I get to full blown, serve to guests or family members for dinner, dishes. Given, most things I eat during the day are fridge surprise bowls, … [Read more...]
Creamy Spiced Apple-Nog (aka Vegan Egg-Nog)
Huh, well it seems that between a Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake last week and a twist on Egg-Nog this week I've unintentionally set the scene for Christmas in July. How terribly festive of me (or more appropriately what a terribly appropriate response to my perpetual complaining about how cold I am...). Maybe I should have convinced RJ to let me leave the tree up for another month. So how did I come to make a concoction named Apple-Nog (or Not-Egg-Nog as I've been affectionately calling it) … [Read more...]
Caramel Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake
There's a story somewhere in my head about life turning upside-down. It may be a story about the decisions you make that lead to life swerving left instead of right, and left ends up being so very right. Or perhaps a story about the decisions that life makes for you while it dances around like an obnoxious frat boy singing lalalala and holding its fingers in its ears, ignoring your instance that this was not-in-the-plan, even if there was no real plan to speak of. I have all … [Read more...]
Lemon, Coconut & Passionfruit Popsicles
When one makes bowls and bowls of meringue and swiss meringue buttercream for a completely insane cake, one is left with a container of egg yolks. And when one is left with a container of egg yolks one has little other option than to make lemon curd (obviously). Now I could have stopped there and eaten lemon curd on all the things for days and that would have been ok with me... But there was also an enormous bag of passionfruit on the bench from a recent media … [Read more...]
Decadent Dark Chocolate Mousse
Let it be known that roughly once a week since January my husband has asked for chocolate mousse. Let it also be known that roughly once since January I week I rolled my eyes and ignored his pleas. But the man is nothing if not quick on his feet and a few weeks ago a fly on the wall overheard a conversation that went something like this... J - what kind of cake do you want for your birthday? R - can I pick anything? J - sure R - I want that chocolate mousse that my mate Manu made for … [Read more...]
Pear, Macadamia & Coconut Baked Oatmeal
It's no secret that I'm a bit of a porridge fan. I've been known to eat it for dinner as often as I do for breakfast -- because anytime is a good time for porridge if you ask me. RJ however won't touch it with a ten-foot pole, well not in the cook-on-the-stove-eat-with-a-spoon form at least... However, I've just discovered that if I bake it into a cake-like slice, all bets are off. How very sneaky convenient. I stumbled across this fragrant pan of inspiration over on Rebekah's blog, … [Read more...]
