Chips and beer, chips and beer, chips and beer. Well maybe just chips, but still, they would be brilliant with beer. Also, if you have never had Chimay... what is there to even say about it... a spring evening with friends, an autumn afternoon in a beer garden, a winter's night curled up with a good book... Belgian, rich, a little bit fruity, and just simply amazing. However, if you are a perpetual 'gimme a pint of America-land Light' kind of person, while the chips will still go down a … [Read more...]
Eggnog Royal Icing
Let's get this out of the way up front. The bourbon is out, again. It's Christmas, it happens, embrace it. Also, for someone who doesn't really eat sugar, there have been an enormous number of desserts making an appearance here - and I haven't posted a single savory recipe in ages. We'll get there, one day. But for now - Sugar.And.Bourbon masquerading as Eggnog Royal Icing. Now I don't generally decorate Gingerbread Cookies. When we were younger they got slathered with icing and all sorts … [Read more...]
Spiced Red Wine Poached Pears
RJ and I went through a phase a few years ago where I was making these pears all the time. We used to slice them up and have them over vanilla ice cream for dessert, yes, it is as delicious as it sounds. When I was brainstorming toppings for my Deconstructed Chocolate Pavlova, pears came to mind as a great match with chocolate, and since red wine pairs with both, here we are. There are just as good as I remember. When I first made them a week earlier for the sort-of-not-quite coconut sugar … [Read more...]
Zabaglione
When you make Pavlova, or Meringue, or Angle Food Cake - or any other dish that makes you separate eggs with wild abandon in order to use whites on their own - you are bound to be left with a bowl of egg yolks and the never ending quandary of what to do with them. There is always Creme Anglaise, or custard for Ice Cream or even Lemon Curd but this time I decided that Zabaglione was the go - and a perfect topping, or dipping as the case may be, for Deconstructed Chocolate Pavlova. For a … [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...]
Banana & Almond Butter Stuffed French Toast
Happy Bloggiversary to me! 84th & 3rd turned 1 year old last week and to celebrate I turned the computer off, boycotted cooking and went to yoga, I deserved it. A whole year, can you believe it? In honour of this momentous event I made French Toast for brunch this past weekend. Not this French Toast, or this one but a whole new beast - Banana and Almond Butter Stuffed French Toast. And it doesn't stop there... vanilla, orange juice, and oh, right, Bourbon. Because you can't really have a … [Read more...]
