Brownies & Bars, Desserts, Recipes / 16.06.2017

I discovered a wonderful product called Blueberry Powder. It is made by simply freeze-drying blueberries! The resulting product is a sticky concentrated powder which adds a powerful flavour and colour boost to foods. A great way to up the nutrient content of your smoothie bowl breakfast. Or in this case, your triple layered dessert. These striking Blueberry and Lime bars are made up of a crisp lime shortbread, topped with blueberries in a creamy lime cheesecake layer, and finished with a layer of bright blueberry mousse. A real show-stopper to wow your guests! Ingredients: Lime Shortbread Base: 150g butter, softened(⅔cup) 100g castor sugar (½ cup) finely grated lime...

It's great to have a few "free-from" recipes up your sleeve. Gluten and dairy intolerances seem more common than ever.

After developing my Apple Crumble Granola and Chocolate Granola, I realised my granola's were heading in a very dessert-like direction. Stopping at two flavours just didn't seem right, so I finished off the trio with this delicious Pecan Pie Granola. Using real maple syrup is the key to getting a pecan pie flavour - caramelised and syrupy. It costs a fair amount but trust me, you wont regret it. And you'll have plenty left over to pour over your blueberry pancakes.  The seeds and coconut flakes are optional, but make it that little bit healthier. PS. If you love Pecan Nut Pie, you'll love these...

Desserts, Recipes, Tarts & Pastries / 25.05.2017

All the lovely seasonal fruit that becomes available as the seasons change is a great inspiration for my baking. At this time of year it's the plums and pears that catch my eye. A few weeks ago we were having a large group of friends around and I needed a relatively light dessert to feed a crowd, that could be prepared in advance. This Pear and Hazelnut Tart fit the bill. The crisp pastry, the creamy, nutty filling and the sweet pears complement eachother perfectly. It's a stunning dish to present, and nice and easy to serve too! A note on puff pastry....
