• Twirling Betty takes the cake

I am not surprised, because they are simply stunning! Now is the perfect time to share with you the talents of Twirling Betty before she becomes famous and backed-up with orders…

• Apple crumble – my favourite Winter (Spring, Summer or Autumn) dessert

  I defy anyone to pass up a hot apple crumble with custard and ice cream on a cold wintery day (and we’ve had a few of those lately in Melbourne – winds straight from Antarctica!!!). This is my favourite apple crumble recipe, which I cook in Summer, Autumn, Spring… and Winter (it’s that good!!!). I…

• Spiced apple crepes

  Wouldn’t you love to wake up to these on your rostered-day-off? I served these up for my husband last week when he was home on a week day. I tried to keep them as healthy as possible – using fruit as the filling, wholemeal flour in the crepes, and natural yoghurt instead of cream/ice-cream as…

• Italian Spiced Figs

  It took a visit from mum for me to realise there was a fig tree in our back garden. I’m not completely ignorant to plants, but our rental has a rather large garden (it got lost behind the gum trees), and I have been pregnant the entire time we had lived in the house, so…

• German plum (or apple) cake

  This recipe is one of mum’s… and an old favourite of mine. I loved the way that mum would mix it up a bit, when we were little, and change the fruit she would add to the cake. Whilst the recipe suggests apples, sultanas and spices, she would add plums and sometimes apricots. I have…

• A post for ginger nuts…

  This post is dedicated to ginger nuts. When I say that I mean people who love ginger! I never thought I would be able to stomach ginger again after consuming packets of crystallised ginger during the first 3 months of pregnancy (to settle the morning sickness). Six months down the track and I saw this…
