We have a family tradition where the birthday star picks what they want to eat for their birthday menu. On more birthday menu’s that I care to remember, Tiramisu has been the dessert of choice. I have a tried and tested recipe that calls for savoiardi biscuits, sweetened coffee and yet more sugar in the egg mixture. However this recipe from the Italian Food Safari television series on SBS calls for no sugar in the coffee ,1 cup of sugar in the egg mixture and pavesini biscuits. It also uses 2 more eggs than my original recipe. Even though essentially it’s the same recipe as my original one, i’ll be using it from now on because quite simply it’s better in flavour and texture.

You’ve gotta love Nigella Lawson; who else would be brave enough to name a dessert in such a saucy way. My variation of Nigella’s Slut Red Raspberries in Chardonnay Jelly is a made with less sugar and non-alcoholic sparkling white grape juice instead of the chardonnay. Even though the alcohol can be cooked out of this fabulously easy dessert I chose to substitute it with a non-alcoholic version as my miss17 doesn’t partake in alcohol at all.

I LOVE pizza…yup…no two ways about it! But in saying that I’ve got to make it clear that I won’t eat what’s served up at places like Dominoes and Pizza Hut etc! The only pizza that i’ll eat that I don’t make myself is from Good Life Organic Pizza here in Adelaide. They make divine pizza but they’re NOT cheap. So, to satisfy my love of pizza, I’ve been making my own for a while now. I bought a pizza stone to go in my gas oven and started trying different dough recipes. More recently, I’ve been cooking them in our outdoor woodfire oven.

You can kiss your waist line goodbye with this ice cream…I apologise upfront to those who are trying to lose weight…You won’t be able to resist this ice-cream because it’s beyond amazing! Think creamy dark chocolate mousse that is lightly frozen… a little like semifreddo.

My partner Mr Suziwongl, adores Pavlova, it’s his favourite dessert. So, with a glut of egg whites in my freezer, today is, as Mr Suziwong sometimes says, ‘pavalova’ day. My poor boy had to handle my emotional melt-down yesterday, so i figured he deserved a treat for dealing with the ‘worse’ in ‘for better or worse, in sickness & health’ etc .
Here in Australia, it’s
