Ricotta Hot Cakes

Light-as-air hot cakes. Serve ’em up and watch them go!

Coffee, Walnut & Date Cake

This is a superb cake, moist and rich, perfumed with coffee and studded with walnuts, which is offset nicely with the lemony tang of the icing.

Mmmm … tender soft crumb meets nutty spicy topping. Add the heady whiff of feijoa, and, yep, you’ll be back for another slice …

Labna

Labna is thick and creamy, velvety-textured and lemony fresh, but not at all rich to eat.

Baked Apples

Baked apples with custard or cream are really good but even better served while hot with cold ice cream. The contrast!

Coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut flakes

Crunchy Golden Cheese Scones

Louise Cake

I’m a fan of Louise Cake no matter what is in the centre, but I reckon lemon curd is a knock-out.

Quick Lemon Curd

Easy when you know how – just use the right lemons!

Chocolate Figgy Torte – Gluten free

This stuff’s addictive. There’s no cure. If you make a batch, you’ll simply have to invite neighbours around and not let them leave until the lot is eaten, otherwise you’ll eat it all yourself.

Dried figs

Dried figs are honey sweet, fruity and sort of figgy tasting, and a bit gritty, but that grittiness is a good attribute as it provides texture. The skin might look like elephant hide …

There are some people who won’t make pastry because they hate getting dough under their fingernails. If that’s you, I’ve got just the tool!
