Whenever I go to one of the ‘new’ Asian style restaurants such as Chin Chin or Longrain, I can’t go past their amazing tapioca desserts. I am not a huge fan of sweets but there is something about Asian desserts that are almost like a palate...
So I had a wee visit to the Hairdressers and my Hairdresser is awesome. Not only does she do a great job on my hair but she always feeds me. She made me a seriously good cup of coffee and with it came this little ball of pure, healthy joy. Now I am not a sweet...
If you have been following my blog for a while you will know that desserts are not really my thing. I am not a sweet tooth but every now and then I like to indulge. Recently I held a surprise party for my gorgeous sister and I catered for over 20 people. I did a...
I can’t claim this as my own which is not unusual when it comes to dessert. A cook I am, a baker I am not. This is a Donna Hay recipe out of ‘The New Classics” book which is often my go to for recipes like this. I can say however, that it worked,...
Oh man. I am not a dessert person but this was……oh man. Speechless. I loved it. LOVED it. Not the world’s cheapest cake but it was so worth it. Moist but light, sweet but not too sweet…..the perfect balance. The rhubarb? Yum. ...

Admittedly, I am not much of a dessert person…….give me a good cheese platter any day. I do however, have a slight weakness for anything fruity and this delicious tart was an absolute treat. Soft, sweet nectarines oozing with vanilla laced caramel on a...
You may recall I made this to take to an old BFF’s house a couple of weeks ago. I am pretty sure it was a hit although it was a long overdue catchup and as always involved a few too many drinks so dessert was a bit of a blur! I said to my Hubby this morning...
Want a dessert that literally takes minutes to make, can be made ahead and tastes amazing? Well here it is…..not too sweet, not too sour, a bit of buttery nutty crunch and some very happy guests = winning combo! Prep time: 15 minutes Cooking...
When I saw this dessert (Valli Little of Delicious fame recipe) I just knew it was the ultimate and I had to make it. We all know how much I love a drink and that I am not much of a sweet tooth. I do however like anything custardy, citrusy and boozy. This to me...
