His magical words fought through the fog of my groggy travel brain, "I found a place for brunch, they are famous for something called Crunchy French Toast, you should probably get up..." It was the last morning of our huge adventure holiday and at the end of that day was a 14-hour flight home, followed by a return to real life, a hard look at what I wanted to do with myself, and a taco/ice cream/pie belly to shed if my jeans were to ever fit again. Brunch sounded like the perfect … [Read more...]
Raw Banana Cream Pie & Whipped Coconut Cream
The full royal moniker of this creation is Raw Vegan Macadamia & Coconut Banana Cream Pie, but in the interest of daily conversation, a shortened version was necessary for public appearances. Yeah, I just compared Price William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor - aka Wills - to a Banana Cream Pie, it happens. And honestly, this luscious creation should be the future king of Pie-land, so it works. In any case, few months back I discovered that Banana Cream Pie is apparently the favourite … [Read more...]
Fresh Apple Cake
If angels wore perfume it would smell like this cake. It is possible I'm being dramatic again, but it is equally as possible the scent of it baking will make you want to sit next to the oven, fork in hand, in order to eat it bite by bite straight from the pan while fending off advances of anyone who dare ask for a taste. When I chose 'Seasonal Produce' as the theme for this month's Sweet Adventures Blog Hop this delightful creation was the first thing that came to mind to make the … [Read more...]
Sweet Adventures Blog Hop April: Seasonal Produce #SABH
Hey, guess what, I'm hosting Sweet Adventures Blog Hop again this month! Last month we were dancing in the penthouse with a 'Cocktail Party' theme and some fabulous Cocktail inspired desserts. This month I'm bringing it back down to earth with a 'Seasonal Produce' theme. I may be a bit influenced by my newest project, or maybe I'm simply distracted by all the wonderful Autumn produce showing up at the Farmers' Markets around Sydney, but I have seasonality on my mind constantly these … [Read more...]
Chocolate Caramel Tart – slightly drunken, utterly decadent, perfection
It is rare that I make things this brilliantly evil, I'm usually much more restrained, but when one is going to a cheese and wine party one has no other option than to pull out all the stops. This is not a Chocolate Tart with Caramel, it is not a Caramel Tart topped with Chocolate, it is what happens when Chocolate and Caramel meet at a party one night, get a bit tipsy and have a love child. Meet Chocolate Caramel. Drunken Chocolate Carmel to be exact. Now if you've been around here … [Read more...]
Sweet Adventures Blog Hop March: Cocktail Party! #SABH
Autumn is falling in the Southern Hemisphere, Spring is springing in the Northern one and now that we’ve all had plenty of time to recover from the holiday craziness – it’s about time for a party! I'm once again hosting our monthly Sweet Adventures Blog Hop and after my slightly left-field theme last time, I figured I'd throw out an easier - or at least a more celebratory one - this month. You are invited to join us for a Cocktail Party themed Sweet Adventures Blog Hop! This month is … [Read more...]
Goat Milk, Honey & Plum Swirl Ice Cream – and an interview with Canberra Urban Honey
I've been thinking about goat milk ice cream for over two years. Really. Back in 2011 just before we left for a five week around the world trip I stumbled upon a launch announcement for a little soft-serve shop that had popped up in the West Village. "So what?", I hear you say, "there are a thousand soft-serve ice cream places in NYC, what makes this one any different?" Well, its claim to fame was that it used goat milk for its ice cream, and having been off cow dairy - and by … [Read more...]
