A quick peek on what's been happening and what's coming up. I hope to get a few 'Around Town' posts up shortly but for now: Bread, Berries & Books.

Although a wonderful surprise and … [Read more...]
Baked Citrus Custard
I tried, I really did. I wanted to make the Blood Orange Baked Custards from Kate Bracks 'The Sweet Life' as she intended them to be. They looked and sounded lovely. Then I shivered at the white sugar and the cream and, surprise, surprise, changed it up. What I ended up with however was lovely and light enough for breakfast [yeah, I went there] but special enough for after dinner too. You can always see the original recipe here if you want to go full fat and full … [Read more...]
Pawpaw, Papaya & Summer Inspired Rice Paper Rolls
I had never eaten a Rice Paper Roll before moving to Sydney, for that matter I had never eaten Pawpaw or Papaya before going to the Cook Islands. It's not that I grew up sheltered, it's just that I grew up in the suburbs of America-land in the 80's and 90's - Chinese Food and Pizza was about as international as our town got back then... One of the first places RJ ever took me to eat was a brilliant little Asian hole-in-the-wall in Marrickville called Old Thanh Huong. That original visit … [Read more...]
Perfect Apple Crumble Pie
I love Pie, it's as simple as that. Crust I can take or leave - unless it's chocolate or graham cracker and attached to Cheesecake but that is another dream for another day - but Pie filling, yes please. Custard, cream, fruit, whatever, they're all fair game. Needless to say, I was quite happy when we chose 'Sweet as Pie' for our June Sweet Adventures Blog Hop. I'm not sure if you remember my Crazy Pink Pie from a few months back but shortly after making that one I went even more out … [Read more...]
Custard Apple, Lime & Mint Mojito Sorbet
In Sydney, winter is officially here, and it is cold. Sleeping in jumpers, two blankets on the bed, heater on in the lounge room, cold. Last night the city nearly blew away. It is Custard Apple season - it is not ice cream season. In America-land, summer is just beginning and ice cream abounds. It is ice cream season - it not Custard Apple season. This recipe is fair to no one, it is however delicious and as such I am sitting on the lounge, covered in a blanket and next to the heater, … [Read more...]
Custard Apple Ice-Pops
I knew that I was receiving some Custard Apples - what I didn't expect was a box of four enormous, perfect ones. I was so excited when they arrived that I unwrapped them, grabbed one out, and discovered that they were as hard as rocks. Damn. But it made sense, as a perfectly ripe Custard Apple would need to be used immediately... and I needed to think about it for a while. So I set them aside on the kitchen bench, lid of the box jauntily perched but not on tight, and promptly forgot about … [Read more...]
Fluffy Blueberry & Spelt Vegan Pancakes
No matter how beautiful the view, it is always difficult living somewhere that is at least a 24hr trip away from family and friends. But it is always a bit more, obvious, when there's happy news, difficult times, special occasions and holidays which would otherwise be spent with those who are far away. Now on this weekend in many cities around the globe there are fun runs for Mother's Day. Sydney has the MDC each year and RJ and I have done it off and on over time, but growing up my family … [Read more...]
