What is it about dessert that inspires such awe and devotion? Dessert posts without fail garner more attention than savory meals - no matter how decadent those meals may be. Full TV shows dedicated to amazing creations of sugar and magic have taken over the airwaves in recent years. Even the most decadent degustation meals are punctuated and talked about and defined [more often than not] by the dessert choices at the end. Good desserts are the popular girl at the party, the new mysterious kid … [Read more...]

Caramel Bourbon Bananas and Whipped Coconut Cream
I've been bad. Not bad because I used bourbon yet again. Not bad because I want to put this on everything I eat. Not bad because it is so amazingly addictively good. But bad because I've made you wait over 2 months for the recipe. How dare I. Back in November for our first SABH challenge I made a Deconstructed Chocolate Pavlova topped 4 ways. I made it through the Red Wine Pears and the Zabaglione and the Chocolate Pudding posts but then Christmas hit and I neglected to share my favorite … [Read more...]
Things and stuff and more things – ‘Stralia Day
Happy Australia Day! Or if you want to sound like a local, Happy 'Stralia Day Maate. You should probably go make Lamingtons or Pavlova or eat a meat pie to celebrate. We however had Pumpkin Pie Pancakes for brunch and watched out the window as it rained, then pretended to clear up, then rained, then pretended to clear up. Around 5 we got sick of waiting for the weather to cooperate and headed into the city to sit by the water and drink cider and watch some jazz - the rain stayed away. Then we … [Read more...]

Orange Amaranth Gluten-Free Cutout Cookies
Well, it took me much longer than in past years but I've finally gotten my bake-on for Christmas. Maybe it was the exhilaration of a lunchtime early-mark for the last day of work, maybe it was the sunshine - did you hear that? SUNSHINE and warmth and blue sky, thank goodness - maybe it was the realisation that it was only 2 days from Christmas and instead of 5 different kinds of cookies and 2 different pies and days of planning for a Christmas feast, I'd only made Cranberry Bars and … [Read more...]
Christmas Cranberry Bars
When we chose 'Festive Favourites' as the theme for our December Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, the first thing that came to mind was 'how on earth am I expected to choose just one favourite dessert from the raft of holiday celebratory sweets that are out there'? It just isn't fair to all the others! But I managed [ha!] and if you're busy baking your way through December as well, make sure to join the SABH and link up your Festive Fav Dessert at the bottom of this post. You can also read more about … [Read more...]
Chocolate Pavlova – Deconstructed
Oh where do I begin on this one? Lets start with the official title - Chocolate Pavlova Deconstructed 4 Ways: Zabaglione & Cherries; Spiced Red Wine Poached Pears & Chocolate Pudding; Caramel Bananas & Coconut Cream; Yogurt & Berries. And then I died. A few weeks back I was chatting on Twitter with a some fellow Aussie Food Bloggers... next thing we knew the Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop was born. Just a few days after that we re-badged as Sweet Adventures. Our first … [Read more...]
