If you grew up in Australia or New Zealand post-World War II, you’ll likely be very familiar with the frothy mousse-like confection called Flummery.

White Chocolate Panna Cotta with Raspberry Jelly
This delectable White Chocolate Panna Cotta & Raspberry Jelly dessert came about because I had a stash of thawed frozen raspberries I needed to use up. And, as luck would have it, a big bar of white chocolate just happened to be sitting in the pantry – a marriage made in heaven!

Dutch Almond Ring
One of the perks of being from Dutch stock is that we grew up on all sorts of traditional Dutch goodies. And, this Dutch Almond Ring is definitely high on the list of our faves. Served at Christmas time in the form of a wreath, complete with ruby red glacé cherries, it never fails to delight and satisfy.

Tarte au Citron
Hands up who’d prefer a mouth-puckering citrus dessert any day over a chocolate one? If your hand’s up, join the club. Okay, chocolate has its place (who can argue that?!), but honestly, I’d much rather refresh my palate with citrus flavours after a meal (especially a rather hefty roast), wouldn’t you?

Coconut, Lime & Ginger Creme Brulee
Of all the desserts on a restaurant menu, a Creme Brulee always excites me the most. Well, I should say, ‘used to excite me’, that is until I had one too many over-cooked, rubbery custards. Nothing incenses me more than paying good money for a bad dessert. These days I simply make my own.
