Daring Bakers – Swiss swirl ice cream cake

Daring bakers – Chocolate pavlova
The dessert that nearly wasn’t, late but made! This month’s DB challenge was chocolate pavlova, the recipe used a mascarpone chocolate mousse-y cream and a creamy crème anglaise based sauce. In my opinion the amount of sauce is way, way, … Continue reading
Daring Bakers – Cardamom and honey pudding
Ok, so this didn’t turn out the way it was supposed to as you can see. This month’s Daring Bakers challenge was to make a British steamed suet pudding. Using suet was optional, I ended up not using it because … Continue reading

I did a trial version of this month’s Daring Bakers challenge half way through the month. I made 3/5 of the recipe (as in I used 3 eggs instead of 5). This was plenty to fill two 15 cm (6 … Continue reading

Ispahan ice cream
Ever since I tasted Pierre Herme wonderful Ispahan combination of rose, litchi and raspberry I was sure I wanted to make another dish with that combination. I have to add that I never actually ate PH’s own creations but I … Continue reading

WTSIM #12- Coconut and coffee terrine
Sometimes you have a great idea for a recipe but when you make it, it doesn’t turn out completely how you wanted…completely being an understatement here. When I saw that this month’s WTSIM was all about terrines I made a … Continue reading

SHF #37 – Carrot ganache covered and clementine curd filled petit four
This was not what I had in mind for the November edition of SHF. But if plan A fails, plan B just has to do. When I read that Leslie at ‘definitely not martha‘ wanted to see beta carotene packed … Continue reading
