Summer Fruit Cake

This is a cake that always ALWAYS pleases.

If you don't believe me, try it. Go on. But hurry because summer is about to end!

Sweet, Sour and Spicy Prawn Salad

A colourful and refreshing salad to put a spring in your step!

Sublime Mango & White Chocolate Mousse or Creams

Wowzer!

The first is a light frothy surprise served in a Martini glass with a few diced mangoes and passion fruit seeds at the bottom. The second is a creamy coconutty crime parfait! Both topped with a sweet and tangy mango-lime coulis.

Marmalade Drizzle Pudding

Follow your instincts.

The One Chocolate Cake

Found. Mousse-like chocolate cake. Hits the spot. Very tame baking-wise. Lovable and wholly edible. Take home and guard forever!

Carrot and Lentil Soup

Another winter warmer. This soup is bulked out with split red lentils - a much healthier choice. The lemon livens it up and brings you a hint of summer warmth.

Lime Drizzle Loaf Cake

A little twist on the good old lemon drizzle cake. I prefer mine with lime; it has a sharper acidic kick and cuts through the sugar in the cake nicely.

Spiced Apple Cake

This oh-so-moist cake is spiced with the Tonka bean; an oval and rather elegantly shaped black bean (see picture here, plus another recipe laced with the spice). Some say it is a nice substitute for vanilla, but don't be fooled. Many other spicy notes float within this genie of a bean.

Cranberry Chutney Indian Style

Baby it's cold outside...

So stay in and make cranberry chutney to slather on slices of fresh bread. Eat with cheese or cold leftover meat for supper. Be lazy. And moreishly so...
