This is a visually beautiful dessert with decadent layers of chocolate, cream cheese and with a last minute surprise of a coffee jelly shot! My first time using Agar Agar which is a gelatin substitute that is extremely strong and is derived from asian seaweed.The name in Malay directly translates to “Jelly Jelly” so this…
These dumplings are a favourite in our house. I actually have to stop the kids from wanting more than two bowls and if I left the tray unattended they would honestly eat the lot! Tart Granny Smith apples wrapped in a buttery dough and baked in a lemon sugar syrup and then topped with crunchy…
As a child I remember picking strawberries in our garden but to me the best part of that was the incredibly powerful smell those strawberries left on the palm of my hand afterwards. Supermarket strawberries have lost that essence, so I hope to grow my own again one day and experience that again. Combine ripe…
This cassata is a long way away from its origin of a Sicilian dairy-filled recipe. Now veganised to be a healthier & kinder version, without sacrificing flavour.

My husband has never forgotten eating this ice cream over 30 years ago! Some recipes are memorable – and this is one of them. Yes I thought it sounded…

Who doesn’t like pancakes with a giant scoop of ice cream melting super fast and making it a race? Show me a person who doesn’t like pancakes. No child complains and refuses to eat them and everyone has their own way of loving them. Fluffy, thin, folded, rolled…jam, ice-cream, maple syrup, fruit, chocolate, lemon &…
A lovely friend dropped off a bag of beautiful Swan Hill apricots, so I whipped this up for afternoon tea. Apricots to me smell like Summer and bring back memories of a groaning apricot tree and an seemingly endless sound of a pot lid banging in the kitchen with more wonderfully comforting stewed fruit being…
