Fresh MANGO CURD is so easy to make and totally delicious. A few weeks ago I made some in-store @ziggysfresh to go with a pavlova board. 👨 There was this one gentleman there who thought my demo was so good, it made this MAN GO buy all the ingredients on the spot! 🤣 The recipe is up on their website and I’ll put a link in my bio. The puns are free 😉

GIMME SOME LOVIN’ ♥️ Persian Love Cake, that is! You all loved this one in my stories yesterday. The recipe is from @sbsfood but I tweaked it a little (surprise!) I made 1.5 times the batter and used a ratio of 1/3 for the base then the remaining 2/3 for the rest. That will make more sense when you see the recipe. I also made a last minute syrup by simmering the juice of one lemon, 2 tbsp sugar and 2 teaspoons of rosewater. I just wanted to have a bit of shine! In an ideal world I would have topped with figs and rose petals but, as we all know, nothing in life is perfect 😉 Did I mention it’s GLUTEN FREE?!

“Hi, I’m Olaf and I like warm hugs!” ⛄️ Sometimes we all get in a bit over our heads... like when you start making an Olaf cake at 8pm on a Friday, determined to finish it in one night. 🙋🏻‍♀️ That’s the greatest thing about our little community here - there was a whole stack of you wonderful folks right there in this mess with me! [Virtually speaking] You’re the best! ♥️ Your moral support got me through the too-sticky rice krispies and the runnier-than-usual ganache. His head may not have stayed on for long and we lost two strands of hair and a finger in transit but, by gosh, by golly, we did it! ⛄️ ☀️

I know some of you hate seeing raw meat so I obligingly wrapped this chick in layer upon layer of sage and bacon. It went against everything I stand for, but I did it because I love you. 🤣 Seriously. I have two rules with roast chicken: One, always roast it breast side down; Two, if you want to roast it breast side up, smother it in bacon. Maybe I should have that mantra printed on a tea towel? 🤔

Has anyone tried making my sticky pork with lychees over on the @ziggysfresh website? Every week they give me a big box of produce for my cooking adventures and I try to come up with fresh recipes for you all to try. A couple of weeks ago when lychees were making their debut, I challenged myself to use them in a savoury dish, just in time for Lunar New Year. The result was this slightly more upmarket version of sweet and sour pork. With the sweetness of the lychee-filled sauce and the crunch of sugar snap peas, it was the perfect addition to the rich pork flavour. Head over to the Ziggys website for the recipe.

SUPER BOWL FOOD - two of two - San Francisco may have lost the big game but this cake was a winner! It’s called Blum’s Coffee Crunch Cake and was invented in the 1940s at the then famous chain of ‘soda shops’. Like all good culinary discoveries, it came about by accident when one of the chefs made their melted sugar too hard. The manager suggested shattering it into pieces and using to decorate a sponge cake topped with whipped cream... ta daaaa! The cake is chiffon and the pieces are like a coffee flavoured honeycomb. It’s not something I ever would have discovered were it not for the Super Bowl but apparently it’s a bit of an institution in the Bay Area. But I have to end by saying... GO CHIEFS! 🤣
