Butter, flour, salt and water.  Rubbed together and mixed. Rolled and folded and wrapped Cooled Lovingly roll and folded and loved and cooled. Puff Pastry. The layers of butter when heated *puff* and become this flaky, crunchy, buttery goodness. It is a labour of love. Now I am not going to tell you how to make puff (today) in this blog, but I am going to show you how to make

Work has been quieter at the moment. It is the lull period when customers go on holidays, don't go past the deli on the way to work or don't go to school. So it is a great time to take a few days off and relax ourselves. Alan and I took a few days off and just pottered around the house and did nothing much; slept in, ate more, and relaxed. We came back to work last week and are sitting tight

If you haven't guessed it already, I am a sweet fiend! So when it was my turn for the Mum and the Chef challenge I picked Zucchinis so that I could challenge myself in something new. But heading towards sweets is even more exciting when you mix savoury and sweet together. So going through the thought process of what I was going to make was hard. My first thought is always Italian food. That is

Banana Bread is great for little hands and big hands alike. It is great for breakfast or a mid-morning snack and great for afternoon tea and supper. Isn't it just one of those treats that is sweet and tasty and almost viably healthy all at the same time! Jemma from Little Eats wrote to me a few months ago asking if I would like to include a recipe for her newsletter. I jumped at the chance and

Watching this video clip made me laugh so hard that I started to cry. When Alan and I are working together and we get in the zone we don't always hear each other. I will be standing in the sandwich section and Alan in the coffee section and this I am almost sure is now what I sound like!

I wanted to do like a poptart with shortbread. I wanted to make a hazelnut and chocolate filling and then dip it into my coffee. So this is exactly what I tried to do!

I started to feel the urge to *create* a few new biscuits again. I go through fazes of creating. And this year I have my one word, create. So, I am going through all my oldest books and going through all Nanas books again. I am more about re-creating the classics at the moment. So going back to the Iced Vovos is just part and parcel with it. Iced Vovos Time: 15minutes + 1 hour (chilling

High Tea. What a lovely thought. Sitting in a white frilly dress, sipping on tea with cream and wearing a *spiffing* bonnet. And of course eating dainty treats. Like something out of the Great Gatsby. Image from here I have a box of Nanas recipes, which are cut out of magazines, handwritten, and even sent from other people from today right through to 1948 (earliest I have found so far!) and

Being off from work has given me so much sewing time! As a present to my fast growing two year old Niece I made her this little summer dress! It is such a cute material and the pattern from this lovely lady was not too hard to follow once I got going. It is wrapped up and sitting under our Christmas tree waiting for her little hands to open it when they come and visit next week!

I made three of these. One for my nephew, one for my next door Windsor Deli neighbours new baby boy, and one for my godson. I thought they were such a cute Christmas present! Some of the material is from other clothing that I have made for all of them as gifts.

Just before getting injured, I was crazy busy at the deli. Functions here, fruit cakes there and one fabulous little party to cater cupcakes for. Jemma asked me to make some mini cupcakes for her little girl who loves pink and some adult cupcakes for the parents! I jumped at the chance to use our Cupcake Wrapper Co wrappers and go wild with the pink. I want to share with you how cute

What do you do when friends invite you over for a Christmas Eve drink and you want to take a small gift for the lady of the house? Whip up some coasters of course! I got the basic idea from this talented lady and then added my own creative slant on them! I made 6 per pack. 4 is just never enough for coasters and I made sure they were strong enough to be thrown in the bra bags and into the

For Christmas I was sent a big pile of already cut, square shaped material. All different colours and patterns and some were Christmas themed. So I seperated them with the idea of making a table runner, ready for Christmas day. So I knew the basic idea. Sew all the squares together in a 4x12 rectangle. But I got stuck on the quilting part. No book that I had showed how to do it

It is heading towards Christmas (eek! next week) and then off to the end of the year! I always like looking back at what has gone on each year and try and remember all the things that I have done. It just helps me to remind myself what I may (or may not) have learnt. So I would like to show you what I have been up to in 2010 if you haven't been here all the way through. There has been two

We are really lucky with the deli. We have some of the best neighbours! We have really local locals! And one of them asked me to make one of her favourite biscuits from New Zealand, Afghan biscuits. I love that the customers ask me to make their favourite sweets. I really love trying to make what they ate as kids. I love watching the glee in them tasting it.

Asparagus, Herb and Cheese Risotto Everyone always tells me that Risotto is hard. I get told that they undercook it, it is runny, it doesn't taste right etc etc. So I am going to tell you a secret.

I have to tell you something.....everytime I cook these biscuits I tend to eat one or two; or crush them into chunks and put them through vanilla ice-cream; or have a cup of tea especially. These are my all time favourite biscuits. And these are from the old school Biscuit book from the Womans Weekly.

Learning something from a mirror image can be hard for lefties like me at the best of times, but learning it from different YouTube videos FROM a right hander and when they go faster than you need to is REALLY HARD!! But I first learnt to crochet the basics from Alans mum, Val who has all the patience in the world! And then I started to teach myself from this book. Since my granny blanket and

Have you heard about our Arnotts Challenge? We have been having all sorts of fun making and remaking all the biscuits from the Arnotts Challenge. So I just wanted to let you know that I am working on the Mint Slice Biscuit at the moment! I am just going to throw out some teaser photos if you haven't been into the deli to taste the testers! The Mint Slice recipe is still in "testing"

During the week I posted a chocolate tart recipe and Melisssa from Onecraftymumma asked me more information about blind baking! So I have put together a little tutorial on what to do and how to check you have blind baked your tart enough. For quiche, frangipane tarts and any other tart that has to have the centre cooked for awhile I don't blind bake it. I don't because the tart shell gets too

Little Katrina, aged 5-6, standing in the living room in Adelaide; mum in the kitchen cooking and radio plays this song.....I am pretty sure it was a silver radio. Don't you just love it when songs remind you of specific points in time? This one reminds me of that everytime..... Do you have songs that remind you of the little things like that? What are they?

These are our cute pinwheel sandwiches. They are white bread, dark rye bread, butter, cream cheese, herbs and smoked salmon. And they are soooo lovely on the plate and they are extremely easy to make. 1 piece of white bread 1 piece of brown/dark rye bread cream cheese butter parsley or dill or chives smoked salmon pepper Method 1. Roll out the white bread until half the previous thickness.

Suzie Dickinson's cd plays during our deli mid-morning to keep all the customers happy and calm. Alan and I went to see her a few months ago when she was releasing her new album and she is extremely talented and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE her music. (Dave, the producer, you are pretty awesome too!) Suzie just told us recently that this was on youtube.com and I just had to share it with you all!

When I was an apprentice I was on the Channel 7 tv show My Restaurant Rules. We were in the restaurant on Fitzroy Street in St Kilda (the top end of the street) and it was called Two Words and then Whisk. It was the best three months of my apprenticeship! It was hard, it was so busy and of course it was on tv. And as some of you may know that is where I met my husband. Yes! We met on a tv show.

What did you do today? For me today is the busiest day of the week. It is Saturday. The day when Alan and I are really busy at the deli because everyone loves to come in for breakfasts, newspapers, bacon, milk, chocolate chip cookies and especially brownies. What else did I do today? Take a look. Braised shallots for our Sunday salad Toasted Museli with cranberries, currants and apricots

Have you ever tried any of the recipes on the backs of the boxes they come in? I would figure that they are the best way to try out the product, so when I had two boxes of Filo pastry I turned over the box and saw Baklava on the back. Yep, that sounds exactly like me! With a few alterations and a few batches later (and loads of tasting!) I have come up with my version of this classic.

We had alot of requests for this one..... So, I powered on and came up with these little beauties......the tip here is because they puff up so much it is better to roll and cut out the cookies instead of rolling

So after the giggles died down (and we laugh at it everytime) I wanted to make Zucchini Slice. Do you remember eating this cold as a kid? I do, and I do remember it being around Spring/Summer that it

Do I need to tell you this song? Do I need to tell you what movie this song is from? Are you a secret 80s fan? Is this your favourite 80s song? Did you have a crush on Kevin Bacon? Hehe.....it is okay if you did (or still do!) I thought he was awesome in a 80s dancer-kinda way! Everybody cut Footloose!!

I want to have punky hair like Roxette. My hair is really short like hers but it curls on the ends like mini cowlicks....might have to dye it blonde again for summer.....in the meantime..... Do you have a favourite 80s song? Did you or do you still want to be a certain popstar? In the 80s???

I need to be quick and get this recipe in before it really turns Spring and we are onto trifles and summer puddings. This recipe is so easy and quick for that last minute dessert. You can use any fruit or chocolate(!) and just let the cream pour over it and ooze into the crispy toasty bread. Do you have a favourite dessert to whip up at the moment? Do you love bread and butter pudding like me?

I love Lemon Meringue Pie.Don't you think that your mum used to make the best version? I do.So when you are trying to replicate something that brings so many fond memories of when you were growing up, trying to reproduce that is really really hard.The way that I figure it is that you do something similar yet new so that you can marry the memories of being a kid with all the new flavours you have

My mum has coughed for most of her life. Coughed because of anything and everything.....coughed when waking up; coughed after drinking wine; coughed when cooking; coughing, coughing, coughing.....and noone knew (doctors) what was wrong. And when I became a chef and started learning about intollerances and allergies Mum and I thought it might be from gluten. After tests and more tests, Mum was

How many chocolate cake recipes do you have? And how many do you use? I use one. This one. If you find one that you love and just can't find one to better it use it always and then just alter the finished product and look. Sometimes I use one big cake ring. Othertimes I use a bundt tin. Or, like this one I used 3 small tins and then layered it with chocolate frosting, covered it in EVEN MORE

Meet Zorg. Zorg was born on the 27th August. He comes from the planet Saffer. Zorg has 6 buttons to represent the six planets he has lived on. He flew here in a Tupperware Bowl. He is very friendly. He comes from the book Fleecie Dolls by Fiona Goble. He is friends with Alphie the Comforter. And this is Zorg on my first Granny (huge) Square. I used a full ball of wool to practise. :)

I know that we are in the middle of Winter and it is cold and rainy and everyone (including me) has either had the flu or is in the middle of it so I was thinking a salad was just the ticket. We ate this Spicy Shrimp Salad at one of the little restaurants that we dropped in to whilst in Thailand. One of the websites that I find just awesome is http://www.tasteofthai.com/ it has some great Thai

I use to love these biscuits as a kid. I don't remember having them except for at birthday parties. What is your favourite Aussie Biscuit? We might have a bash at making them if you want! So for the second Biscuit Challenge I chose these biscuits. The method that I worked on when I was making this biscuit recipe was that I wanted a shortbread that wasn't overly buttery but still soft on

I could have sworn that I had already put it on here but looking through my files I have talked about it and never put it on here. How rude of me!

Sitting by the open fire on a Sunday night in my pyjamas (flannel) I would sit crossed legged on the floor and wait for the Muppet Show to start. I think I was about 6 or 7. (Stu in flannels next to me!!) The mini tv would be sitting on the bar because it had been moved from mum and dads room during winter nearer to the fire so we could keep nice and toasty. The 80s, the muppets.....simple
