The best road trip Gingernut biscuit recipe

Toni — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:00:39 +0000

This truly is an old fashioned gingernut biscuit recipe! I was putting together a quick batch for a picnic over the weekend and realised I'd been making this particular recipe for over 30 years. You know you have a winning recipe when you remember it by heart all those years later and still make them […]

Chirashi Zushi | Scattered Sushi

Toni — Sun, 31 Jan 2016 21:22:46 +0000

On our travels in Japan, we've enjoyed chirashi zushi from Osaka all the way up to Sapporo. It's a delicious bed of perfectly seasoned sushi rice topped with anything from a layer to a mound of fresh seafood, vegetables and other condiments. We've had a similar-looking dish called kaisen-don but that uses steamed rice […]

Do you love the complex flavour of matcha tea but find it difficult to replicate the traditional style at home? Try this soy matcha latte for all of the flavour but none of the fuss. I posted a while back about all my favourite Japanese teas and that while I love the pungent and slightly […]

Festive strawberry dipped chocolate truffles

Toni — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 01:47:12 +0000

I grew up as a Kiwi kid and nothing else says Christmas and summer parties to me like freshly picked strawberries dipped in chocolate. Here in Queensland we get some of the biggest, juiciest and sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted but they all ripen in the depths of winter. By Christmas it's way to hot […]

Festive Cranberry Balsamic Sauce

Well, the decision's been made to move away from our southern hemisphere tradition of a seafood-based Christmas lunch to have turkey and all the trimmings this year. I've already stocked up on cranberries and started experimenting with sauces and chutneys like this cranberry balsamic sauce to accompany the Christmas bird. While working my way […]

These rich chocolate Baileys chocolate truffles are an easy and delicious treat. With a ganache base, they have a decadent hit of Baileys delivering a delicious flavour and texture for an after-dinner treat, hostess gift or just because someone you care about deserves them! My own kitchen has turned out multiple batches of these again […]

Beef Sausage Rolls

Toni — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:00:45 +0000

With Australia day approaching I like to have a batch of sausage rolls handy for picnics or when friends stop by. This recipe is fast to put together, the uncooked rolls can be frozen and cooked later or the cooked rolls can be stored in the fridge for a day or two. Best of all they […]

Char Siu | Chinese BBQ Pork

Toni — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 00:25:53 +0000

All the authentic and delicious flavour of Char Siu with a lower fat content and without the additives. I walked past the char siu and BBQ duck hanging in the window in Market Square and had immediate cravings for Chinese BBQ pork. Char Siu has been a long time favourite but as I'm still reacting badly […]

Fragrant Chai spice sugar cookies

Toni — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 21:28:32 +0000

As our taste buds continue to circle the globe this week I couldn't go past the evocative aromas and flavour of India's masala chai tea. While it's so delicious and calming to sip on I was looking for a way to invoke those same senses in the cookie tin with this weeks baking. What I came up with are these chai spice sugar cookies, they have a double hit of spice and are oh so good!

Caramel Coffee Syrup - a delicious and budget-friendly treat

Toni — Sat, 11 Jun 2016 06:22:10 +0000

I'd got into a bit of a habit of buying a bottle of caramel coffee syrup in my weekly shop recently. It really does make sitting out my garden with a cup of coffee feel a little bit special and indulgent. Those little bottles of syrup can be pricey though and it does add […]
