Continuing on my journey into the culinary world, I am still perfecting my technique on classic recipes. Today I am tackling one of Australia / New Zealand’s classic desserts ~ a summer fruit pavlova. Lived in Australia for a full four years and I must admit I have never had a ‘pav’. NEVER. But I live with an Aussie now and he’s been pushing me, for well over 2 weeks, to make one. So here it is.

Today I am making an ex-flatmate’s favourite … Creme Caramel. He loved this very much and always pestered me to make some when we were living together back in Melbourne. Sadly, I don’t think I ever did. Well here’s me shedding the guilt and dedicating this recipe to J.C back in Melbourne ~ sorry it took so long.

I was thinking of a dessert to serve at a dinner party I am to be hosting at the end of the month. I wanted something quick and easy yet still had the WOW factor once it hit the table. This recipe fit perfectly and it ticked all the boxes. It’s cheap, easy, not fussy and it is awfully yummy. How can you argue with that? Serve with cold or warm custard or raspberry sauce and a dallop of cream … mmm! How can anyone refuse?

My age old nemesis ~ Cream Puffs! I tried making these many years ago but they failed miserably but now I have a standmixer. Haha! But somehow this recipe is hell bent on defeating me. Here is my report.

I love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Can’t get enough of it. Then one day while browsing the internet I came across this recipe for cookie dough CUPCAKES! Had to try it and they turned out delish. These would be great for a birthday party, seriously. Word of caution tho : These are in no way low in calories.

Greetings one and all and welcome back to FoodFlurries.com 2012!! To kick off my first blog entry of the year, allow me to present Coffee & Cinnamon Scrolls, an all time Aussie favourite that can be found in almost any Aussie bakery or cafe. Prefect for a decadent breakfast or brunch. This is my first attempt at working with yeast dough. Bit of a hiccup in the beginning but in the end I prevailed!!

Want a cake to impress, other than a traditional fruit cake, this festive season? Then this cake is it. A beautiful chocolate génoise filled with luscious cream and raspberries, all encased in a layer of thick fudge. It looks fancy but it isn’t hard to do.

Honing my skill in decorative confectionary, I chose to make this vanilla meringue tower for the last office meeting before they shut for the Christmas season. It wasn’t exactly difficult …. but let’s just say one just needs a healthy dose of patience.
