Salted Caramel Nutella Brownie Bites

I think for a long time, I was searching for a recipe for the ultimate brownies. I found it, and a couple of other great brownie recipes along the way, but I think the whole time my favourite brownies were sitting right under my nose. These. I love them so much, I have made at least 8 versions of them. Literally. You can even check them all out in my … Continue reading →

Salted Caramel Blondies

I love me some blondies. I haven’t made any in a while, and I thought a batch of chewy blondies were long overdue. And they were made even better with a layer of salted caramel through the middle! Things have been pretty crazy around here, and I honestly don’t even know where the days go. What between four shifts per week at work, two and a half days at culinary … Continue reading →

Salted Caramel

So I decided I am going to start a little Baking Basics section on the blog. And this salted caramel will be the first little ‘Basics’ installment. I thought that it would make it easy for you if you are ever looking for a basic pie dough, caramel or pastry cream recipe, that there will be (soon!) an entire section devoted to them in my index. And then instead of … Continue reading →

Mini Crack Pies

Crack pie. I have made this before, in a larger version, a year or two ago now, after reading an article about it. I mean, who wouldn’t want to try something that is called “crack” pie? I remember taking a slice of it, along with a few other treats, to a friends house when I went over for coffee. And her family fought over it, each vying for the last … Continue reading →

Chocolate Caramel Bars

I made these recently to take to a friend’s barbeque. They were such a hit! My friend’s sister’s boyfriend (that’s a mouthful) cooked a really great barbeque, with prawns (shrimp), Peri Peri chicken, wings, lamb skewers and spicy sausages. We sat around in my friend’s awesome outdoor patio, drinking beers, talking, and eating yummy meat and salads as it begun to thunder and hail and storm. Lucky we were covered. … Continue reading →

Pecan Caramel Tarts

I made these little babies at culinary school. They were one of my favourite desserts we’ve made all term. Right after these. The class is Hot and Cold Desserts and has been my absolute favourite so far. The teacher is amazing, an award winner in bread and pastry sculpture. He is much more relaxed and trusting than the other chefs, simply allowing us to go off and cook what is … Continue reading →

Caramel Chocolate Truffles

Merry Christmas! It is Christmas Eve, the tree is lit up and carols are playing. Miracle on 34th Street is about to come on TV and Mum and I are busy baking in the kitchen. A couple of days ago, I made a big batch of gingerbread dough and left it in the fridge so I could roll and cut it today so we would have fresh gingerbread biscuits. Unfortunately, … Continue reading →

White Chocolate Chip and Macadamia Blondies

Any special (sometimes even not that special) occasion is an excuse for me to bake. This week it is my manager’s birthday and she requested white choc chip and macadamia nut cookies. So I decided to take it a little further (as I’m always taking cookies in to work, something different, you know?) and make her my blondies instead. This is one of my favourite recipes. All the butter and … Continue reading →
