Autumn is in the air down here in Kiwi-land – the perfect time for a fruit crumble. And, with stone fruit in abundance, what better time to make this delicious Apricot, Almond & Vanilla Crumble.

Double Chocolate Mousse Cake
Have you heard the phrase, ‘Death by chocolate’? I suspect it applies quite nicely to this Double Chocolate Mousse Cake, with its chocolate studded brownie base and towering mountain of melt-in-your-mouth double chocolate mousse topping.

French Strawberry Tart
With strawberry season still going strong, I’ve had time to fit in another strawberry dessert – this time a French Strawberry Tart. With its crisp pâte sucrée pastry shell, dreamy creamy crème pâtissière and tart fresh strawberry slices doused in a strawberry jam and brandy glaze, it’s everything you want a dessert to be.
…
Gluten-free Fraisier Cake
Phew, this Gluten-free Fraisier Cake was quite an undertaking! And believe it or not, I made it two weeks in a row! The first time was for my big brother’s birthday; the second time was simply because I felt I could improve on it and needed to make it while it was still strawberry season. Perfectionist much?

Caramel Sago Pudding
As you’ll figure out from my blog, I’m pretty attached to old-fashioned puddings and treats – particularly those I grew up with. Sago pudding, with its comforting sweet custardy texture and delicious gelatinous sago pearls was always a favourite in our family. We kids used to call sago ‘fish eyes’ – hardly an appealing description, but we loved it regardless.

Dark Chocolate Gelato
Is there anything more sublime than gelato? That delectable Italian ice cream, with its silky texture, is my idea of heaven. Frankly, I’ve been remiss in not making it before now.

Quick & Easy Lemon Meringue Pie
Oh, I’m such a sucker for lemon meringue pie! Yes, it would be right up there with my all-time favourite desserts – Chocolate Mousse, Tiramisu and Baked Alaska. There’s something just so undeniably delectable about the combination of mouth-puckering lemon and sweet meringue.

Banoffee Tarts
Wow, two months since my last post! The fact of the matter is, my focus is rather divided these days. I’m studying a post-graduate diploma in arts therapy and it’s full-on – barely any kitchen time these days, other than to rustle up some basic (and very boring) meals. But hey, I finally caught a break this weekend and got to make these decadently divine Banoffee Tarts.

Stroopwafels (Dutch syrup waffles)
Stroopwafels (strope-wahfels) are surely one of the yummiest Dutch treats so far as I’m concerned. Caramel filling sandwiched inbetween two ultra thin wafers – what’s not to love?!
…
Lemon & Vanilla Madeleines
There’s something so lady-like about these sweet little scallop shaped French cakes. Up until a few years ago, I’d never heard of Madeleines let alone made them. But as soon as I did, I hot-footed it to the nearest bake-ware shop and bought my first Madeleine pan and promptly made Double Chocolate Madeleines.
