For the love of food
Chewy, no-bake biscuits crusted with coconut and topped with a smooth, rich, chocolate ganache finished with a dusting of desiccated coconut. Sounds mouth-watering doesn’t it? It sounds like something you could only have one of because they must be seriously naughty. It would appear that if you have a lack of self control when it [...]
Warm molten chocolate oozes from the center as you glide your spoon through the chocolate cake-like layer. Keep that image in your mind while you read this post ok? If you had to think of your go-to dessert for a serious indulgence what would it be? For me, I can’t go past chocolate fondant or runny [...]
Don’t tell mum and dad but I was a bit of an unconventional uni student. Apart from the few lecturers and tutors who I loved and sat there soaking up their every word like a sponge, I wasn’t all that good at attending classes. It’s not that I was a terrible wagger, blase and never [...]
I’ve had this post scheduled for today for a week but by coincidence, I happen to be eating this again for lunch today as sustenance/payment for a very very important job. Today, two girlfriends and I are babysitting the gorgeous twins for the day. Their grandma is the creator of the zucchini and bacon crustless [...]
I may have fooled you into the illusion that here in the Claire K Creations household, we eat a great variety of food with some new creation landing on the table ever night. That would be my ideal but in reality, there are a few dishes that are in high rotation around here. Monday nights [...]
‘Is there a champagne reference?’ ‘Yep – will look forward to having a glass of bubbles with you over Easter to celebrate.’ They all laughed. The joke? Well apparently 90% of mum’s Birthday presents had some sort of reference to champagne. Her friends know her too well. Then it occurred to me that 90% of [...]
Today I have a very special visitor and guest sharing one of her favourite new recipes with you… my sister. My sister and I are pretty different when it comes to food. She’s very very healthy and likes all sorts of good things like tofu and beans, every fruit under the sun and she’s even [...]
Top of the mornin’ to you. With a love of all thing green and the maiden name Kelly, it wouldn’t seem right if I didn’t pay a little tribute St Patrick’s Day tomorrow. Irish potato sweets are one of those recipes that fall under the looks-may-be-deceiving type. While they appear to resemble, well you know [...]
The rain was still bucketing down outside. We’d spent so much time on the couch that there were Claire and Will shaped indents in each of our spots (yes we have spots, don’t judge) and 13 episodes into Prison Break season one, I was starting to plan my escape from the house. The weather had [...]
You know how I said that my eating is all about balance? Well this is the perfect example. Last week, I was lucky enough to have three girlfriends (and the gorgeous twins) over to lunch mid-week. It was probably the first time that’s happened since we were all at uni at least five years ago [...]
On Saturday I shared the secret as to why I’m not the size of a house. It’s not really a secret, it’s just that I don’t eat quite as much as it looks like I do. There is one secret I can attest to though. Tasty food. That means only eating food that you really enjoy. [...]
I am dry. Just. What a wet weekend we had here in Brisbane. Will and I hardly left the house all weekend and managed to get through 20 episodes of Prison Break season one. Lets just say I was plotting escapes in my dreams last night. I think I’d be pretty good at escaping should I find [...]
