Berry Christmas Pavlova

Berry Christmas Pavlova

I LOVE Christmas! Don’t you? Nothing celebrates happy holidays in Australia like Pavlova. Mind you, while I could definitely do without the claustrophobic shopping crowds, I do enjoy the pre-Christmas get-togethers with good friends, secret Santa and family holidays on the coast each year. One of my most cherished Christmas traditions is held with my Grandma Doris…

Cider Poached Apple and Salted Caramel Tart

Sunny afternoons and cider go together like well.. Rhonda, Ketut and …a sun-rise! (relive their love story here), like Prince Harry and nudie runs in Vegas but go especially well together here in my hometown of Melbourne.

Queens Jubilee Dessert – Eton Mess Ice Cream

Queens Jubilee Dessert – Eton Mess Ice Cream

I have fond memories of my time as a cash strapped backpacker in London. Share houses, bed bugs, warehouse parties, orphan’s Christmas, tri-nation competitions, the English summer and the regular side trips to Europe and other exotic places when I was able to tear myself away from the excitement of London town. For a large…

Chocolate Hazelnut Lamingtons with Raspberry Jam

Chocolate Hazelnut Lamingtons with Raspberry Jam

Lamington’s conjure up fond memories for me of fundraising drives back in primary school in the 80’s. The excitement was palpable when a big slab of delicious lamington’s eventually would arrive in a cardboard box which was “inhaled” by my brothers and I soon after they arrived. Ive no idea if they still do lamington…

Grandma’s Mulberry Pie – Made with love!

Grandma’s Mulberry Pie – Made with love!

My grandma’s garden is dear to my heart and is filled with lovely memories of summer days laced with fragrant jasmine, sudsy yellow backyard water slides and Mandy, the cranky old Corgy that hated all of us grandkids. Down the back, past the lemon trees, sloping green lawn and Mandy’s final resting place is my…
