Sweet: We've announced our June theme for the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop and it's one of my most favourite of things - Pie! KC from Capers of the Kitchen Crusader is our hostess, head over to her post to find out more, I hope you can join us.I already know what I'm making, but what's your … [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...]
Vegan Chai ‘Buttercream’ Icing
When I decided to make Macha Green Tea Cupcakes for this month's Sweet Adventures Blog Hop I was at a loss on what to frost them with. The cupcakes themselves are pretty healthy - enough so to be perfectly acceptable for breakfast - and I didn't want to ruin a good thing with mounds of sugar and butter. Who am I kidding, I'll eat any cake for breakfast but these are just that little bit more justifiable... I considered chocolate for a while as a topping but thought it may overwhelm the … [Read more...]
Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes – or Maccha. As you were.
Welcome to the May Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, our theme this month - 'What's your cup of Tea?' - meant that I got to create a recipe using one of my favourite things - Tea. It was only logical that my creation included another of my favourite things - Cake! Can you believe that we've been at this #SABH thing for 7 months now? Wow. And thanks in advance for joining us for this most recent adventure - I'm honoured to be hosting again and we have a special surprise this month too... The … [Read more...]
Whole Wheat Pumpkin & Chestnut Bread
So when the chestnuts showed up at my door I first had to work out what to do with them. I wanted to go beyond just chopping them up and adding them to something else. But what to use, and what to make? Pumpkin was top of mind and a quick search confirmed that the flavour would go well with chestnuts. I was determined to make a treat that was healthy and delicious. Chestnuts on their own are a fantastic source of nutrition - fibre, calcium, potassium, a bit of protein, no cholesterol … [Read more...]
Sweet Chestnut Puree & How to Cook Chestnuts
You may have noticed that I've been receiving some slightly unusual produce recently. It seems that many early autumn fruits are somehow often overlooked in favour of more common ones like pears and apples and it comes as a bit of a surprise that such a wide variety of items are in-season this time of year. Don't get me wrong, I do love my pears and apples, but a bit of variation is good for the soul - and the belly! Speaking of variation I recently received a box of chestnuts and the game … [Read more...]
