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.

Festive strawberry dipped chocolate truffles

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 […]

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!

Rhubarb and white chocolate crumble

Toni — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 05:28:42 +0000

Rhubarb and white chocolate crumble was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the big bunches of bright scarlet rhubarb for sale at our local farmers market this weekend. It was an old winter favourite in New Zealand but it's not something you see often in Queensland and can be quite hard […]

Tangy blueberry lemon slice

Toni — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:00:37 +0000

A delicious and tangy lemon and blueberry slice, with a crunchy biscuit base topped with fruit and a citrus custard layer. I first published this recipe some years back, the original was created to make use of a surplus of homemade citrus dust, an incredible useful flavouring made by dehydrating then blitzing citrus skins. Today I […]
