It’s a little strange for a me to be without an ice cream maker, especially considering the name of this blog and the fact that it’s coming into the warmer months. But I suppose it’s the perfect opportunity to make lemonade from these here lemons and experiment with frozen treats that don’t need any special equipment. At least until I … Read More
Caramelised Pandan Cake with Coconut Sorbet
Oh man, I love pandan! I have my food blogging friends to thank for that, after showing me the light with a delicious pandan waffle when we went for lunch in Cabramatta about a year ago. Since then, I’ll always order pandan flavoured desserts when I can, and one of my favourites in recent times was the Pandan Chiffon Cake … Read More
Watermelon, Raspberry & Gin Iceblocks
Apologies for the lack of posts recently, I have been crazily busy working on several exciting design projects, which I’ll be sure to post about soon. Do you remember at school when summer used to be about endless holidays and completely carefree days? I’ve been a bit nostalgic for those times, when afternoons were spent swimming in the pool until … Read More
Popcorn and Caramel Icecream Sandwiches
Hello and Happy New Year! I’ve just got back from a gorgeous (but hot!) week in Perth, so it’s now back to work, back to real life but most importantly, back to the kitchen, because the blog has been a little too quiet lately! Today we need to talk about popcorn. The world’s most popular movie snack, delicious covered in … Read More
Quince & Rhubarb Ripple Ice Cream
I’ve just got home from a few days in Melbourne with the boy, which was absolutely lovely… except for the crazy and unpredictable weather! This weekend has taught me that it’s really possibly to get four seasons in one day, even though it’s supposed to be spring. I hear the weather in Sydney hasn’t been much better. With such indecisive … Read More
Spicy Icecream Sandwiches
It’s a little hard to believe, but last week was my third blog birthday. I honestly can’t believe how quickly it’s gone – I remember so clearly sitting down for the first time to write my very first post. This one is my 214th post, and I just couldn’t imagine life without my little blog anymore. I’ve met people who … Read More
Summer Afternoon
My favourite part of summer has to be the fruit. I wait patiently all year for a few sultry months of peaches and nectarines, mangoes, plums, berries and the delicious things I can do with them. While I do wholeheartedly think that peaches should be eaten over the sink with the juices dripping from your mouth and hands, I have … Read More
Christmas Pudding Ice Cream
Ah, another Australian Christmas, a very different affair than a Northern Hemisphere celebration. Set smack bang in the middle of a hot summer, we like to take advantage of the warm weather. Chrissy lunch is often an alfresco affair, soaking up the sunshine with a dip in the pool afterwards. After such feasting, the last thing you usually feel like … Read More
Super Foods
My grandmother has a pomegranate tree in her back yard and ever since I can remember, I’ve loved the tiny ruby gem-like seeds inside them. I used to sit at the table help my grandpa dislodge the seeds and then often sneak a small handful from the large bowl that sat in the fridge, before or after a swim in … Read More
Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream
This summer hasn’t really felt very summery at all so far, with the temperature regularly hovering around 23ºC, which for me requires long sleeves! This week however, we’re set for much more seasonally appropriate temperatures, the timing of which is both good and bad. Unfortunately, our air conditioner at home is broken. But! I’ve borrowed an ice cream maker while … Read More
