Fudgey chocolate brownies with white chocolate cheesecake swirl

April 27, 2012 By Claire 3 Comments
DSC_1745

I’m getting married tomorrow! I still can’t believe it. All the preparations are going well. The tents are up, the house is full of tables and today it will be transformed into a beautiful wedding venue. If I haven’t mentioned it, my parents have very very kindly given up their house to host our wedding. [...]

Nigella’s fluffy white cupcakes

Nigella's fluffy white cupcakes

As I write this I am glancing over the gorgeous sunrise, pristine blue ocean and tiny breeze. It is absolutely perfect weather so I hope it stays this way! All the wedding furniture is being delivered today so the real preparations are beginning. I still can’t quite catch on to the fact that I’m getting [...]

Choc-caramel fudge cake

Sorry if you’re getting a bit sick of my wedding countdown but with just three sleeps to go it’s about all I can think about! Today we’re getting all packed up and heading up to the beach to start the preparations and partying. Mum and dad’s house was cleared of furniture yesterday and tomorrow, in [...]

Choc-butterscotch pavlova

Choc-butterscotch pavlova

On Saturday morning the wedding festivities truly began when my Auntie and Uncle (or Tia and Tio as we call them) arrived all the way from Madrid, Spain. Of course we had a family dinner in honor of the occasion and mum asked me to bring dessert. I thought something a little bit Australian would [...]

Gingerbread crumble-topped baby doughnuts

April 21, 2012 By Claire 4 Comments
Gingerbread baby doughnuts

Baking doughnuts at home seems to be all the rage in America right now. I’ve seen the most delicious looking recipes all over the place but the problem was, I didn’t have a doughnut tin. That was until my Birthday. Like when I get most new toys I had to use it right away. I [...]

ANZAC biscuits

April 19, 2012 By Claire 14 Comments
DSC_2215

I got a rather enthusiastic response to my recipe for Afghan biscuits last week. As I said, they are New Zealand’s famous biscuits. This week I thought I would balance it out with Australia’s famous biscuit, the ANZAC biscuit. We cannot let April 25th, ANZAC Day pass without a batch of these delicious treats. Edmonds [...]

Hartree tart

My mum is from the bush so like most bushies, went to boarding school. She tells us lots of great stories from her school days like why she now has a tablespoon of Vegemite on a centimeter of toast, but the best thing she has shared with me recently is her recipe for Hartree Tart. [...]

Afghans – New Zealand’s famous biscuits

April 12, 2012 By Claire 20 Comments
Afghans

Togs. It’s a strange word isn’t it? For those of you who live anywhere other than Queensland, Australia, it’s what we call our bathing suits or swimmers. Yes we’re a strange lot we Queenslanders. I have no idea where the word came from. It’s not like it gives you even the tiniest hint of what [...]

I’m always up for a food challenge

All-Bran Fibre Toppers, yoghurt and raspberries

  This post is sponsored by Kellogg’s and Nuffnang. A few weeks ago I introduced Kellogg’s new All-Bran Fibre Toppers and not being one to shy away from a food challenge, took the All-Bran 7 Day Challenge where you eat All-Bran Fibre Toppers every day for 7 days and see if you feel All-Bran New [...]

Bread sticks from the high seas

Breadsticks

I hope everyone has as big a chocolate hangover as me today. Easter and being a bride very soon do not go all that well together. Apart from eating too much chocolate I had a lovely day with family and friends and fabulous food. We’re up at Sunshine Beach for the long weekend staying with [...]

Easter egg basket cake

Easter basket cake

Ok so I might have made one last Easter treat. Who can resist an Easter cake that looks like a giant edible basket of eggs? It was pretty easy to make. I just whipped up my favourite chocolate mudcake (sorry I was sworn to secrecy with that recipe) and iced it with chocolate ganache. Then [...]

Last minute Easter inspiration

April 6, 2012 By Claire 8 Comments
Easter thumb prints

Happy Good Friday! One of the perils of always thinking is that I’m always coming up with last minute idea or things I want to try. I don’t have any time left to try out Easter ideas so I thought I’d make a little round up of my favourites that I’ve seen across the web [...]
