Chocolate Macarons with Chocolate Buttercream | Berries and Pie
http://berriesandpie.blogspot.com/2009/08/chocolate-macarons-with-chocolate.html
Baking, cooking, recipes, eating, and obsessing over food. Friday, August 21, 2009. Chocolate Macarons with Chocolate Buttercream. The first time I attempted macarons. They broke me. There were literally tears. Tears, and a stack of leftover rosewater buttercream. It was awhile before I felt ready to talk about it, but I think I'm there now. 2 batches of macarons that actually look like macarons later, and I'm feeling a lot better. Now, they were not perfect by any means, but they were. As far as I under...

Baking, cooking, recipes, eating, and obsessing over food. Monday, May 25, 2009. I don't know why I waited for the mercury to drop to decide I NEEDED to make more ice-cream. I mean, there's nothing quite like a frozen dessert on a cold night to warm your cockles, is there? Hubby is a BIG ice-cream fan anyway, meaning it never gets wasted, so who's complaining? 400ml tin of coconut cream. 1/2 cup of sugar. Pour into a 1L capacity container and freeze. This makes a bit more than half a litre. When the ...

Baking, cooking, recipes, eating, and obsessing over food. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Fig and Gingerbread Biscuits. As the weather heats up and Christmas draws ever closer, my desire to cook seems to rise with the mercury. So it was, when my Mum told me about some fig and ginger biscuits she was enjoying, I was inspired to create my own version. Last year around this time Fiona, from The Grape and The Grain, and I found a seriously amazing recipe with a twist on gingerbread. 2 Combine the golden syrup, b...

Baking, cooking, recipes, eating, and obsessing over food. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Eating in Jindabyne and Perisher, NSW's Snowy Mountains. One of the (many, poor) excuses I have for my extended absence here is this: almost every spare moment of my winter has been spent sliding down a mountain. Having said that, it's not all bad news. Especially once you get. I've previously blogge about the fabulous Wild Brumby Schnapps Distillery. And my ongoing love affair with Crackenback Cottage. There's a sma...

Fruit Mince Pies | Berries and Pie
http://berriesandpie.blogspot.com/2009/12/fruit-mince-pies.html
Baking, cooking, recipes, eating, and obsessing over food. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Last year I posted on making your own fruit mince, but spirit of Christmas and all, I thought it a timely occasion to elaborate. I love my fruit mince pies as much as the next gal/guy/tentacled snow-lizard, but the store-bought ones have nothing on the home-made brandy-rich variety you baked in your kitchen. You can make your fruit mince to taste: don't like nuts? Don't add them; candied fruit peel not your thing?

http://berriesandpie.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Baking, cooking, recipes, eating, and obsessing over food. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Choc-Mint Royals - Daring Bakers July 2009! The July Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network. There was a flash of light and a loud, crackling, electrical hum. I have to admit, I freaked. I did somehow maintain the presence of mind to turn the oven off before. Look at all that chocolatey go...

Apricot Jam and Chocolate Cupcakes with Rosewater and Vanilla Bean Buttercream | Berries and Pie
http://berriesandpie.blogspot.com/2009/05/apricot-jam-and-chocolate-cupcakes-with.html
Baking, cooking, recipes, eating, and obsessing over food. Monday, May 11, 2009. Apricot Jam and Chocolate Cupcakes with Rosewater and Vanilla Bean Buttercream. Say that 5 times fast! After a weekend of spectacularly failed macarons, I was left with containers full of delicious buttercream filling in my fridge. Lacking my planned home-cooked Mothers' Day presents, the humble cupcake came swiftly to the rescue. I thought it might add a bit of interest. For the chocolate cupcakes:. 3 tbspn orange juice.
