Expansive polished concrete floors play off the exposed pipes, painted brick walls and a blackboard-backed kiddie area. A mix and match of wood, marble and metal tables and chairs provide an air of casual nonchalance. The servers and baristas, dressed in faded black with pants rolled above the ankle, are Redfern gentrification at its finest. With its Facebook-only website and little more out front than a copper 'W' plaque next to the door to indicate its existence, Three Williams … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: January 2014
Oh dear, it's again been quite a while since I've linked up with Celia for an In My Kitchen post so this is a big one. I may as well get started right away... ----- Kitchen shenanigans The original caption on this pic said it all: Getting back to basics - no computer or finances or real estate or real life. Just eggs, flour and bare hands kneading away the day. It was rolled and cut by hand because I couldn't be bothered with the pasta machine. Then topped with a simple pasta sauce … [Read more...]
Raw Ginger Chocolate Truffles
What to say, what to say, on this the last day of a very long yet very short, and slightly tumultuous, year... There will be no 2014 trend predictions or big wrap up posts today. No tomes or photo montages dedicated to the most popular recipes this year (Raw Banana Cream Pie, Gluten Free Almond Pie Crust and French Butter Pastry battled it out with Mushroom & Lentil Burgers, Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde and that good old Spicy Carrot, Tomato and Lentil Soup standby if you really want to … [Read more...]
Salted Caramel Truffles – Raw, vegan and impossibly good.
I had no idea when I chose 'Heavenly Holiday Truffles' as the theme of the December Sweet Adventures Blog Hop that I would become obsessed with turning EVERY FLAVOUR EVER into a truffle. Seriously. A google-machine search on 'truffle' renders the expected chocolate versions, but the same search on Pinterest reveals the most stunning variations you could ever imagine and sends the imagination into overdrive. No doubt the purists will shout and stamp their feet, insisting that … [Read more...]
The Woods Restaurant – Sydney
There are plenty of reviews about The Woods Restaurant that wax lyrical about summers spent swatting mosquitoes and cooking over camp fires. They draw tenuous links due to the raging fire that adds smoke and caramelized edges to most of the menu at The Woods but let's be perfectly clear -- a trip to consulting chef Hamish Ingham's restaurant is nothing like camping, roughing it, or cooking anything in the wilderness. This is by no means a bad thing. The Woods is nestled in The Four … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter, Banana & Chocolate Bites – aka Skinny Fat-Elvis Truffles
Roughly a year or so ago I shared a pic of this lovely little treat, but it was only this morning I got around to making it again and taking decent pics. Why now? Well I'm hosting Sweet Adventures Blog Hop once again this month and rather than just tell you the theme I figured I'd kick off with a recipe too! December SABH is about celebration and versatility, all wrapped up in the perfect bite-size dessert -- Heavenly Holiday Truffles! The details: Theme: ‘Heavenly Holiday … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Magic Shell & Halloween Green Goo Magic Shell
Seriously? How cool is magic shell? It starts all liquid-y then BAM it's frozen and shatter-y the minute it hits anything frozen. The stuff from the grocery store has all sorts of crap in it of course, but you can make it at home with just two (or three) pantry staples. As these two versions were used to coat Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Bars (stay tuned for the recipe tomorrow!) I left them un-sweetened and the slightly bitter edge paired brilliantly with the ice cream, but if you … [Read more...]
