  • Recipe: Gingerbread Christmas Tree

    I love seeing new recipes that take a fresh spin on an old classic. And who better to inspire me this Christmas season than the master of reinvention, Adriano Zumbo?
    This month’s Gourmet Traveller magazine features a collection of Christmas themed recipes from Adriano Zumbo. The gingerbread christmas tree in particular wowed me and it was [...]

  • An afternoon affair – High Tea at home

    What better way to spend your Sunday than a High Tea brunch with your very best girls?

    I always feel a little cheated paying $45 a head for High Tea. So I set out trying to recreate the special experience at home. I made all the staples the night before – scones, cupcakes, sandwiches and macarons, [...]

  • Recipe: Chocolate Macarons with Chocolate Buttercream Filling

    On a high after my first winning batch of macarons, I cracked four eggs and aged the egg whites over the work week in anticipation for a mega macaron making session on Friday night.
    But when Friday rolled by, Mr. Taste spilt most of my egg whites over the kitchen counter when I was downstairs [...]

  • Recipe: White Chocolate and Rosewater Macarons

    Two dozen eggs, four packets of almond meal and a kilo of icing sugar later…. I finally made my first successful batch of macarons.
    All in all, I tried three methods, six different recipes and read another 20 – and it was a recipe by Frosted Envy that gave me success. That’s not to say the [...]

  • Recipe: White Chocolate and Rosewater Cupcakes

    Our office decided to spend Melbourne Cup inside this year and we were each asked to bring in some afternoon tea. I immediately decided on cupcakes, a safe and reliable option after failing at four disastrous batches of macarons the weekend before.

    With a simple vanilla cake bottom, the cupcakes have a deliciously light white chocolate [...]

  • Recipe: Lamingtons with Jam Filling

    I woke up last Saturday realising I needed to use up the eggs in my fridge as they were a day away from expiring. So I decided to make a batch of Lamingtons with Jam Filling (which requires a whopping 6 eggs!). I can’t even remember the last time I had these, but boy did [...]

  • Recipe: Layered Chocolate Cake with Pistachio Frosting

    We celebrated birthdays with the parents this long weekend and I couldn’t find a better way to celebrate than dedicate Saturday to baking a big, indulgent birthday cake for my mum and father-in-law.
    I’m always a little stumped when it comes to making a cake that everyone will love. What can I say, I’m a crowd [...]

  • Recipe: Easy Peasy Mango Pudding

    If you’re anything like me, Mango Pudding is the one dish I look forward to eating when the dessert trolley wheels past at yum cha.
    Surprisingly, it’s quite a tricky dessert to master at home. My first attempt a couple years ago resulted in mild food poisoning (I’m not really sure what caused it, but I [...]

  • Recipe: Dark Chocolate Cupcakes featuring Ferrero Rondnoir

    Ferrero has a new chocolate and it’s deliciously dark.
    The new Ferrero Rondnoir offers layer upon layer of creamy, crunchy dark chocolate and an exquisite dark chocolate praline centre. Rondnoir is the perfect after dinner praline, great with a glass of red wine or a cappucino and a tempting treat for times when you’re feeling indulgent.
    After [...]

  • Recipe: Appletini

    After all the talk about cocktails following my review of Preshafruit juice, I dusted off my martini shaker and popped open my liquor cabinet for some experimenting.
