If passionfruit was a girl you wanted to set-up with your mate, you'd describe her as sweet, with a sharp sense of humour... and a great personality... We all know what that means, and let's be honest here people, passionfruit are odd looking little things. Although 'normal' enough to begin with, they go wrinkly and a bit peculiar once off the vine for a bit. Cut them open and you are accosted by little finger like buds from which the uniquely flavoured pulp and edible seeds hang. But one … [Read more...]
Lemon Curd – rules and bending the rules
Lemon Curd is one of those recipes that everyone has a spin - and an opinion - on. You should use whole eggs, you must only use egg yolks. You must adhere to x ratios of sugar to juice to make it very sweet, you must keep it tart. Use more butter, use less butter - mix it in before, mix it in at the end. Cook in a saucepan, cook over a double boiler. Strain the juice, strain the cooked curd. And on and on it goes. The versatility once made is as varied as the list of recipe options. Fill … [Read more...]
Lemon, Lavender and Honey Chiffon Cake
I am a lemon girl all the way, always have been - only chocolate gives lemon any hope of an equal fight, and it still depends on the day! So I was completely on board when we chose Lemon for our April Sweet Adventures Blog Hop. I wanted to make a cake - Angel Food Cake to be exact - and spike it with copious amounts of lemon. But Angel Food Cake has the same issue as Meringue and Pavlova - lots and lots of sugar. Damn. My mind started spinning as per usual - maybe I could edit it... … [Read more...]
Turkish Baked Beans
We go out for brunch quite a bit. If you haven't worked it out yet, it is easily my favourite meal of the day. My preferred lazy Saturday afternoon cafe has amazing vegetarian baked beans, and I get them probably 80% of the time. When perusing the Turkish Flavours cookbook I happened on this Turkish Baked Beans recipe and knew it would be one of the items I'd make as part of our testing the cookbook feast. Have you entered the giveaway yet? If you can believe it I'd never cooked with … [Read more...]
Zucchini Fritters from Turkish Flavours
Happy St Paddy's Day, Internets! In honour of the day everyone becomes a little bit Irish - or if you live in most places along the eastern seaboard of America-land everyone becomes a lot bit Irish - I present to you a recipe from a Turkish cookbook. Wait, that doesn't sound quite right. I present to you brilliant green fritters that just so happen to come from a Turkish cookbook. That's a bit better. St Paddy's Day is a pretty important day to me - especially this year - but more on that … [Read more...]
Lychee, Coconut & Sake Sorbet
Sydney, the city of long, brilliantly-blisteringly-hot-gorgeous-blue-sky, summer days has only now in the last few weeks of the beach season gotten its act together. This calls for a celebration of sorts. So between brunch at airy cafes and sessions sitting in the sun - and in an attempt to avoid my oven - I've made sorbet. Now you see, I am quite in love with summer fruit. As a result, when Cessie from Impact Communications contacted me recently to see if I wanted some lychees the only … [Read more...]
Peach Pie Porridge
Back in January I posted those lovely Loaded Oats for the New Year and declared that I was going to attempt to share more real food and less desserts. Yeah, that lasted about a week. In an attempt to get back to real food I bring you a second porridge recipe for the second month of the year. It's only pretending a little bit to be dessert. The stone fruit this summer has been lovely and this treat was inspired by peach crumble and peach pie and peach cake, then all wrapped up in oats and … [Read more...]
