After months of watching other people head off on holidays, RJ and I are finally taking a break and making our way through America-land for a few weeks. In my absence the lovely Claire is here to ply you with treats. You may remember Claire from a few months back when I guest posted over on her site - she was one of those aforementioned holidaying people - and it's great to have her here. Thanks again! (Oh, and if you want to follow our eating adventure holiday, Instagram is probably … [Read more...]
Moroccan Quinoa, Avocado & Orange Salad
I mentioned in my last post that I'd received a crate of oranges recently, and rather than just eating one each day I challenged myself to do something different with them all. I was so pleasantly surprised with some of the combos I came up with and this salad was one of my faves. Fruit in salad can freak me out a bit - perhaps too many years of bad 90's raspberry vinaigrette has scarred me for life - but oranges are a great way to add a bit of a sweet/tart bite to winter … [Read more...]
Spiced Pear, Red Wine & Chocolate Cake
I'm sorry, it was entirely unfair for me to wait this long to post this cake. Entirely. It was baked and devoured back in April as part of a Seasonal Sunday Lunch feast and somehow is only now seeing the light of day. Remember this Drunken Chocolate Caramel Tart madness? This is that, but re-born into dark, rich cake. With spiced red wine poached pears. And a sticky red wine sauce. And as I just got back from a girls weekend in the Hunter Valley a red wine infused dessert is so … [Read more...]
Passionfruit & Orange Sorbet
We added another doona onto the bed the other night. The heater in the lounge room is getting a workout - as is the power bill I'm sure. I pretty much live in an ancient cashmere jumper and occasionally layer it with a puffy down vest. I haven't taken off my Ugg boots in days. Can you tell I don't do winter very well? So why on earth am I making sorbet? Well it uses the best of local NSW winter citrus, and not quite as local Queensland winter passionfruit to create an instant tropical … [Read more...]
Wholegrain Fruit & Oat Bars
The air wafting out of a Crabtree & Evelyn store transports me to my grandmother's bathroom, all monogrammed hand towels and tall shell-filled glass jars. The smell of fresh baked bread, the house I grew up in on a lazy Sunday afternoon. And the scent of Drakkar Noir lingering in a hallway, straight back to 7th grade and boys who wore Metallica t-shirts... ahem. The connection of smell and memory is well documented but taste can have exactly the same effect on me, spinning my mind into … [Read more...]
Spicy Passionfruit, Coconut & Prawn Lettuce Wraps
A tangy, sweet, spicy, crunchy explosion of flavor and texture. A dose of summer in the middle of winter. A slightly unexpected combination that turned out simply perfect... Can you tell I'm kind of in love with this recipe? Even the colours make me happy. This is not the first time passionfruit has appeared round these parts, but it is usually included in a dessert such as Passionfruit & Coconut Self-saucing Pudding Cake or this insane White Chocolate Cream Cheese Passionfruit … [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...]
