<div class="Body1">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">As the
cold weather kicks in, we witness the slow demise of the tomato plants that are
so prolific throughout our short growing season in Canberra. Despite the fact
these poor plants don</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-ascii-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">’</span><span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">t seem to understand that it</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-ascii-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">’</span><span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">s time to call it a day and give up, they still try and
keep producing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">As an ode
to the faithful tomato I wanted to make a dish that provided a fitting send off
and settled on the process of smoking the tomatoes in a stovetop smoker. This
was to give that extra punch to my lasagne. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The hot
sun and scant rain provide perfect conditions as I harvest plump, very ripe
tomatoes from my plant. So I go into my peasant, down homey kind of thing that
happens when I use my own garden produce to make something extra special and
get personal with my tomatoes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">For this
dish, it involved making a stovetop smoker by adapting an old stainless stock
pot and lid. I laid some foil on the inside base, then a handful of hickory
chips, another layer of foil and then placed an old round metal cake cooler
over the foil. I placed four large, salted, halved tomatoes cut side up on the
cake cooler and then placed the lid on the top and sealed with layers of foil
to prevent the smoke from escaping. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">I turned
the exhaust fan on maximum suck, placed my smoker on a medium heat until I
could smell the faintest smell of smoke, then I turned the heat well down and
continued cooking for fifteen minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
removed the foil and lid carefully, and lifted the tomatoes out carefully. They
were clearly well smoked, a pretty rosy red and dripping with sweet juices. If
you prefer a lighter smoke flavour, cook for five to ten minutes only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The
smoked tomatoes provide a powerful, smokey hit and add a complex richness to all
the ingredients, including the Italian sausage, but the tomatoes are the
obvious superstars here. Although this unusual lasagne could also be made
without smoking the tomatoes, it would benefit from using very ripe and punchy
tomatoes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<span style="mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">We
finished our meal with a gorgeous, rosy apple tart, to celebrate the seasons.
Perfect for this time of year. The apple tart should be started a few hours
prior to cooking as the almond paste needs to thicken.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You suspect that you‘re on a winner when your dinner guests go
unusually quiet, and the only thing that fills the conversational void is the clang
of cutlery on plates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Confirmation comes
when your guests finally break their silence to ask for a second helping. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tender chicken pieces cooked in caramelised onion and spiked
with the tartness of sumac make a perfectly messy finger food when partnered
with home made flatbread. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add a salad
and bingo, a complete and easy meal. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This dish can also be presented as a pulled
chicken flatbread slider. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the recipe isn’t difficult or particularly complex,
all the flavour components work together seamlessly. It’s as simple as that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t be intimidated by the quantity of sumac required in
the recipe. This spice provides the unique piquancy to the dish, so distinctive
in Turkish and Middle Eastern food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sumac can be purchased at delis or supermarkets, and sold fresh in quantity
at the Nut Shoppe at Fyshwick Markets.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
1 large chicken, quartered<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ground black pepper<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
¼ cup olive oil<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
½ cup ground sumac<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tsp ground allspice<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tsp ground cinnamon<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2 large yellow onions, minced finely in a food processor<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tbsp honey<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 small chilli, chopped finely<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
½ cup chicken stock<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tbsp unsalted butter<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 cup slivered or flaked almonds<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Combine and mix the flour and salt together in a bowl and
set aside. Combine the water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer
fitted with a dough hook, firstly mixing together lightly by hand. Allow the
yeast mixture to sit for about ten minutes to develop foam on the surface.
After the foam has developed, turn the stand mixer to a low speed, and slowly
add the flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms and the mixture pulls
together into a mass. This should take about three to four minutes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Form the dough into a ball and cover the mixer bowl with
cling wrap. Leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about one hour.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wet your hands first before dividing the dough into two
balls. Place the balls on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Cover the
balls with a damp, clean tea towel and set aside for about forty-five minutes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a large bowl, toss the chicken quarters with half of the
olive oil, 3 tbsp of the sumac, half each of the allspice and cinnamon and half
of the minced onions. Add a good pinch of pepper and salt and set aside to
marinate for about half an hour.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Preheat the oven to 220C. Heat a large non-stick frypan over
medium high heat and add the chicken quarters, cooking until browned on both
sides, about six to eight minutes. Transfer the chicken pieces to an open
ovenproof dish or pan, skin side up. Pour over the chicken stock, and place in
the oven for thirty to forty minutes to cook. If the chicken is browning too
quickly, place some aluminium foil loosely across the top of the pan. The
chicken should be tender and pulling from the bone when done. Remove the pan
from the oven and transfer the chicken pieces to a plate to keep warm and cover
with aluminium foil. Save the pan drippings in a separate small bowl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Add the remaining oil to the frypan and place over a medium
heat. Add the remaining onions and cook until golden brown, this should take
about twenty minutes. Stir in the remaining sumac, allspice and cinnamon, also
adding the chopped chilli, honey, salt and pepper to taste. Lower heat slightly
and continue to cook for another few minutes, until the mixture is dark and
pasty. Transfer the onion paste to a dish. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wipe the frypan clean with paper towel and melt the butter over
medium to high heat. Add the almonds and cook until golden, about three
minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Increase the oven temperature to 220C. Working with one
dough ball at a time, on a floured benchtop, roll the dough into a thin disk,
about twenty-four centimetres across. Perfect circles aren’t required, rustic
shapes are the order of the day here. Transfer to an oven tray lined with
baking paper. Brush the dough with the reserved pan drippings and spread half
the onion paste over the dough, leaving a thin border around the edge. Repeat
the process with the second ball of dough. Bake until the bread is puffed and
golden, about ten minutes. To serve, cut the flatbread into wedges and place on
four plates. Arrange the chicken over the flatbread, sprinkle with the almonds
and drizzle with any remaining pan juices. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
With Christmas closing in and plans for the annual family
inundation afoot, the menu of the day requires some forward planning. As my job
requires a lot of stove time, my aim is to reduce food preparation input on the
day so I can spend it with family and friends. Our Christmas main meal will be
a late seafood lunch spiked with fresh, citrus flavours, with just a hint of
Tetsuya and Spirit House. And for fun, we will celebrate with some retro
flavour combinations of prawns, coconut and pineapple. Just to prove we are the
height of absolute sophistication, you won’t see a Golden Circle pineapple ring
within cooee. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
The dressings in this meal give it a good kick along,
highlighting the seafood flavours that are a foil for the piquancy of the
pretty pickled salad. The bulk of the preparation is in the dressings and
salad, so be prepared to put the effort in the day before so you don’t spend Christmas
day stuck in the kitchen. Then on the day, grab another willing set of hands to
help you pull it together. The complete menu serves 4 to 6 people. It’s not en
exact science, so just increase the quantities of everything to feed greater
numbers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Suppliers assured me that the listed foods would be in plentiful
supply over the holidays. The seafood was purchased from FishCo Fish Market at
Fyshwick and the Foie Gras from The Essential Ingredient in Kingston. The Yuzu and
shredded Nori can be purchased from most Asian grocers and the Seafood Salad
can be bought frozen from JJ’s Fysh at Fyshwick Markets. Keep any unused
portions of seafood salad, which is essentially seaweed, in the freezer and
this can be added to other meals, including soups, salads or with cold
meats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Hint: To avoid mixing up the dressings, print the name of the
dressing on some masking tape and stick it to the lid of the jar or container.
This helps when it comes to putting the meal together.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
The thing that’s so lovely about these warm, summery evenings in
Canberra is the gorgeous luminous light that highlights the bright, new soft
leaves of the trees. I believe we appreciate our seasons, as they are so
incredibly extreme.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
This association with light, summery evenings, easily translates
to serving lighter, fresher foods incorporating the new seasons delicate vegetables,
so easily accessible here. Tarts are perfect for entertaining and ideal fare
for Christmas celebrations as they can be served warm on plates or passed
around as finger food. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
This particular tart is reminiscent of the French bistro classic,
Nicoise Salad, however instead of serving it with tuna, I opted for the richer,
more decadent flavours of salmon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
tart holds up well for left-overs and can be made a day in advance. The beauty
of a tart is that you can prepare and par-cook the tart shell in advance and
the filling combinations are endless. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
This tart was served alongside the wicked and indulgent Rosemary
Monkey Bread, swimming in butter and honey. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 cups flour<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
130 g unsalted butter, cold and cubed<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
3 medium sized eggs<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ head of butter lettuce leaves, torn into 5cm pieces<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
10 green beans, cut into 5 centimetre lengths<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 medium potato, peeled and sliced<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 95g good quality tinned salmon<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup cream<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup milk<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tbsp Dijon mustard<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
3 tbsp olive oil<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 anchovy fillet<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 clove garlic, peeled<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 small red shallot onion, peeled<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 medium Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup pitted black olives<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Place the flour, butter and salt into a bowl. Using your
fingers, rub the flour and butter together until it resembles course breadcrumbs.
Add six tablespoons of ice-cold water and mix with a knife until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it until smooth. This
should take about two minutes. Form the dough into a disk and wrap it in
plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Boil the potato in salted water until tender, then add the green
beans and cook for a minute more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the
vegetables to a bowl of ice-cold water, then drain and place in a medium sized
bowl. Add the lettuce and salmon to the vegetables and set aside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Blend together the milk, cream, oil, mustard, eggs, anchovy,
garlic, shallot and salt and pepper until smooth and add to the vegetables and
salmon. Stir to combine and place in the fridge until ready to use.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat the oven to 170C. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Roll the dough into a thirty-two centimetre circle and transfer
to a greased twenty-six centimetre spring form tart tin with a removable base,
pressing the dough gently into the base and sides of the tin. Place the tin on
a baking tray. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Prick the dough with a fork and cover with parchment paper and
fill with dried beans. Bake until slightly firm, about fifteen minutes. Remove the
paper and beans and spread the filling into the crust. Arrange the tomatoes and
olives on the top and bake at a reduced oven temperature of 150C for
approximately thirty minutes, this may vary and take longer depending on your oven. Check for doneness in the centre of the tart, it shoudl not be runny. Let the tart cool slightly before removing from the
pan to serve.<o:p></o:p></div>

On a lightly floured benchtop, pat the dough out into a twenty

layering as you go. Pour the melted butter and honey mixture over the dough.
Bake until golden and a skewer, when inserted into the middle of the bread,
comes out clean. This should take about thirty minutes. Let the bread cool
slightly before upending onto a plate and serve with the Nicoise summer tart.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Apologies in advance are probably in order here, as I inflict the
well worn café and restaurant mantra of fresh, local, seasonal produce, on
you again to describe these dishes. This concept is not new or unique and
producers from the world over have been working with seasonally available
produce for ages, actually, forever. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">In these recipes I also incorporate one of the most basics of
preservation techniques, smoking, used to preserve the spring produce through
leaner times. In this instance, this is not used to preserve, but to add
flavour. In making the most of the sweet
spring produce available at this time of year and the smoking for flavour, makes
for a light, spring lunch, evocative of the Mediterranean. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">As in the Mediterranean, I was fortunate to produce my own backyard
crop for the choicest and sweetest peas, broadbeans, mint and citrus that were
ready to harvest, bang on time for a family birthday feast. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">While preparing the vegetables, I am captivated by the soft, fluffy
green papoose of the broadbean pod that protects its offspring, keeping it in
perfect condition. And the verdant greens of the mint, coriander and peas have
not yet been yellowed off by the sun. This time of year really is the height of
food perfection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">For a low fuss feast, throw together these ingredients with some
smoked new season lamb, and few embellishments are needed for a gorgeous
Mediterranean inspired spring lunch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">To smoke the lamb and lemons I used a simple smoking technique using
a kettle barbeque with hot coals and hickory chips available at most hardware shops. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

use frozen. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
1 tsp ground coriander<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tsp sweet paprika<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 garlic clove, finely chopped<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ tsp ground turmeric<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 tbsp lemon juice<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
¼ cup chopped flat leaf parsley<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
¼ cup chopped coriander<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat the oven to 180C. Line an oven tray with baking paper
and place chopped pumpkin on the tray drizzled with olive oil, and sprinkled
with allspice, salt and pepper to taste.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Bake for thirty minutes and then scatter the pumpkin seeds over
the top and bake for another five minutes or so until the seeds are roasted.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
To make the paste, heat the oil in a small saucepan over a
medium to low heat. Add the cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric and
garlic. Cook, stirring for one minute. Remove from the heat and add the lemon
juice, fresh, chopped coriander and parsley. Stir to combine. Smear half of the
paste onto the cutlets to marinate and set the remainder aside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Prepare the broad beans by cooking in a medium saucepan of
boiling water for three minutes. Drain and refresh in cold water and drain and
cool. When cooled, peel off outer shell and reserve the inner beans. Gently smash
with a potato masher, still leaving a coarse texture.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Any smoker can be used to smoke the lamb cutlets. I use a simple
kettle barbeque using hot coals cooked down for a few hours with the kettle lid
placed on it. Spray the cutlets with a light spray of olive oil. Place the
cutlets on a greased wire rack that sits over a disposable foil tray with a
handful of hickory chips spread over the base. The foil tray should sit on the
kettle rack in the barbeque with the hot coals underneath it. Place the lid on
the preheated kettle barbeque and leave the vent slightly open. The cutlets
should take about thirty minutes to cook. They will turn a dark red on the
outside and just pink on the inside. For well done lamb return to the heat for about
another ten minutes or cooked inside when checked for doneness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
To assemble the dish, combine the pumpkin, broad beans, fetta
and coriander in a bowl with a dash of olive oil and the lemon juice. Divide
among serving plates and top with the lamb cutlets and dolloped with the
remaining paste. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
<u>Smoked lemons<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat smoker or barbeque and place lemon halves over a grill
with a smoking wood below. I generally use hickory chips. Smoke for fifteen
minutes or until the lemons appear golden and caramelised. They should be
softened. If you are cooking this complete meal with the smoked lamb, you can
smoke the lemons at the same time as the lamb.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<u>Broad bean and pea topping<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="Body1">
Shell the broad beans from the outer pod and cook the beans in a
pot of boiling water for two minutes. Remove the beans with a slotted spoon and
reserve the water for the peas and set broad beans aside. Shell the peas and
cook for two minutes in the broad bean water. Drain the peas and set aside. Shell
the cooked broad beans.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
In a food processor, pulse the broad beans, peas, mint half the
pecorino cheese, garlic, olive oil and juice from one smoked lemon in a food
processor for only a few seconds to achieve a slightly chunky mixture. Season
to taste with salt and pepper. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<u>Flatbread<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat oven to 200C and spray the flatbreads lightly with olive
oil on both sides. Sprinkle with a little salt and the herbs. Cook in the oven
on a rack over an oven tray for about ten minutes or until golden and crisp but
not burnt.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
To assemble, break the flatbreads into shards and pile on the
broad bean and pea topping, serving with extra grated pecorino, a further
drizzle of olive oil and the remaining smoked lemon cut into halves again. <o:p></o:p></div>

Cook the yellow split peas for about 45 minutes or until soft.
Drain, rinse in hot water, and mash with a potato masher until smooth, add the
salt and sugar and mix to combine. Set aside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
For the rice ball dough, in a large bowl combine the rice flour
and water and knead until a soft dough forms. Add water a tablespoon at a time
if more water is needed to bring it together. The dough should be soft and
sticky. Knead the dough in the bowl for a few minutes and wrap in plastic wrap
and leave to rest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
For the filling, take a half teaspoon of the mashed pea paste
and roll into about small balls, and place lined up on a piece of baking paper so
they are not touching. Continue rolling into balls until all paste is rolled.
Set aside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
For the ginger syrup, in a small saucepan over medium heat,
combine the water and brown sugar. When the syrup starts to boil, add the
ginger. Cover pot and and turn to low and leave the syrup to simmer for about
15 minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and turn down the heat
to medium. Take one tablespoon of dough and flatten slightly to form a patty.
Place a ball of paste in the centre of the dough. Gently work the dough around
the paste and pinch and roll into a ball shape. Roll the ball lightly between
your hands before gently dropping them into the boiling water. Continue rolling
the balls until you have about 10 at a time in the water. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
When the balls float to the top, they are cooked. Remove with a
slotted spoon and transfer them into the simmering ginger syrup. Continue until
all the dough has been used up. Once all the balls are cooked simmer lightly in
the ginger syrup for another 10 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
For the coconut sauce, in a small bowl, mix the cornflour and a
tablespoon of water to form a thick slurry and set aside. In a small saucepan
over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, water, sugar and salt. Stir to
combine. When the coconut milk just starts to bubble, add the cornflour slurry
and stir quickly for two minutes to stop lumps forming. Don’t overheat the
coconut milk before you add the cornflour as this will create lumps. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Serve the warm dumplings in a bowl with a few spoons of ginger
syrup, the coconut cream sauce poured over the top and sprinkled with toasted
sesame seeds. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Cooking Asian food requires some preparation and energy to hunt
and gather ingredients, but provides its own reward with simple, light and
fresh flavours. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
We don’t need to travel very far in Canberra to access fabulous
local food markets and a plethora of Asian grocers, offering the opportunity
and inspiration to recreate Asian street style delicacies. My challenge each
visit is to only buy as much as I need. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
When old friends from the North Coast of NSW arrive for a
surprise stay we visit the Capital Region Farmer’s Market to shop for an Asian
feast. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
So to counter my habit of buying more than I need, I make a
shopping list and take my friend along for back-up. Arriving at the market I
turn my trolley upside down to find the shopping list, which I realise is
languishing on my kitchen benchtop. So we shop from memory and collect a little
extra just in case. I do find shopping from memory does tend to keep me a
little more focused. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
After escaping with only a couple of extra bags of produce, we
return to prepare the feast of pork and chicken pancakes in bean sauce and
sticky rice dumplings in ginger syrup. This is accompanied with a glass or two
of alcoholic inspiration.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Over dinner, our visitors enthused about the quality and choice
of the produce available at the market, again reminding me of Canberra’s strong
relationship to it’s burgeoning and multicultural food culture.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
This recipe requires some preparation time, so start early and give
yourself a few hours leeway or have someone else in the kitchen to share out
the tasks.<o:p></o:p></div>

To make the pancake batter, place rice flour into a medium sized

mix together and leave to rest for half an hour. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
To prepare the bean sauce, heat the oil in a medium sized frypan
over medium heat. Then add the ginger and shallots and cook for one minute. Add
the tamarind paste, bean paste, sweet chilli sauce, peanuts and sesame seeds
and cook for five minutes, stirring to combine and prevent sticking and burning.
Add the water and continue to stir for another two minutes. Remove to a bowl to
cool slightly, then blend on high speed for one minute in a food processor or stick
blender until smooth. Remove the blended sauce to a bowl and set aside.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
For the filling, in a medium sized frypan, heat the oil over
medium heat. Add the pork and chicken mince and cook until golden and crumbly.
Add the onion and shallots and cook for another five minutes. Then add the fish
sauce, sugar, chilli, lime zest, peanuts, juice and white pepper. Continue to
cook and mix for another five minutes. Taste for seasoning. Transfer the mince
mixture to a medium bowl and stir through half of the chopped herbs, cover and
set aside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
For the pancakes, preheat the oven to 80C. In a medium sized
frypan or wok, heat three tablespoons of vegetable oil over a high heat and add
a third of a cup of the batter, rotating the pan to evenly coat the the base of
the pan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When bubbles start to form cook
for a further two minutes until crispy around the edges. Remove from pan with a
large egg lifter and place on an oven tray. Transfer to the oven to keep warm.
Repeat until all the batter is used.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">

<div class="Body1">
To serve, place the pancakes on individual plates, top with a
couple of spoons of warmed meat filling, add a spoon of chopped fresh herbs and
top with a good dollop of bean sauce, some fresh bean sprouts and toasted
sesame seeds. <o:p></o:p></div>

Pour the lemon and egg mixture into the pastry shell. Bake the lemon tart in
the preheated oven for about thirty minutes or until just set and still wobbly.
Remove from the oven and cool in the tin. To remove the tart from the sides of
the tin, place the baked tart in the tin over a cup or glass and carefully push
down on the tin using both hands to support the tart. The tart tin should come
away from the tart. The tart cuts better when cooled and can also be placed in
the fridge to speed up the cooling process before cutting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><i>First published Canberra Times 27 August 2014.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As the frozen veil slowly lifts from Canberra
and we enter thaw mode, its time to ditch the meaty, one pot wonders and
embrace lighter acidic flavours. Don’t get me wrong - there is a place for the
meaty one-pots, but I need a rest from cheek, shank and hinds for a while …… at
least until next week. So I opt for moist and succulent poached salmon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Recently I’ve been reading up on the
cultivation of capers, and I am quite captivated by these feisty little buds
that grow wild on hillsides throughout the Middle East, Turkey and parts of
Asia. Their pickled acidity and brinyness adds a punch to fish dishes
and provides a perfect match to this salmon dish. I prefer the bottled
capers in salt, rather than the ones in brine as they can tend to be mushy.
These can be found in supermarkets or delis. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As it happens, I’ve been lucky enough
to score a bucket of juicy, sweet lemons from my sister and some fresh chook
eggs from a good friend. This generosity of produce then prompted a forage to
Fishco Fyshwick for wild salmon and a pile of fishheads to make a rich, fish
stock. This is a bit of extra effort, but I want the flavours to shine
through. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I prepare the fish stock the day before I need it and
leave it to reduce, simmering away on the stove for a few hours to extract
maximum flavour. The secret to this stock is the roasting of the fish and
vegetables first. The cooking smells coming from the kitchen are absolutely
sublime as I am swept away on a nut-buttery seafood drift. If I’d had any
reservations about the input needed to make the fish stock as part of this
recipe, they were quickly snuffed out. The sauce in this dish only requires one
cup of stock, but the extra will keep for about a month in the freezer or for a
few days in the fridge. If time is short, use a good quality, store bought fish
stock.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">To cut through the richness of the salmon, I added a freekeh
tabbouleh salad and follow it up with the French classic tarte au citron,
featuring both the fresh lemons and delicious chook eggs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

check for doneness to your liking by separating the flakes gently with a knife. This will take about 30 to 35 minutes.
Let the salmon rest in the poaching liquid for ten minutes, then transfer to a
board and peel off the skin on the underside of the fish and discard. It will
come away easily. Also remove any dark flesh if you prefer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
This cake was designed specifically for my sister's 50th birthday celebration. The cake itself is a rich chocolate mudcake coated with dark chocolate ganache.<br />
<br />
All parts of the cake are edible including the lace, patterned icing and the jewels on the wheels of the caravan. The pattern was created using edible printed icing sheets printed specifically for the design and the caravan was modelled based around a picture of a retro caravan sourced from the internet. made the lace patterning using Claire Bowman lace mould templates.<br />
<br />
The cake needed to be transported over 500km so the three lower tiers were assembled before the transportation and the caravan was transported in its own cake box. However all decoration was done prior to the trip. I made a specially designed cake box lined with non slip drawer liner and the caravan box was packed out with foam to prevent it from moving.<br />
<br />
The bottom 3 tiers were reinforced with dowel and edible cake glue was made from icing and ganache.<br />

<div class="Body1">
With leftover slow cooked beef cheeks languishing in the freezer,
and below zero temperatures outside, came a powerful craving for the cosy
comfort of a rich beef pie. The sticky and gelatinous nature of slow-cooked
beef cheeks makes the perfect filling for a hearty, crispy-lidded pie to warm
the winter cockles.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Not only are the rich beef cheeks a feature of this pie, but the
flaky, buttery pastry encasing it is an absolute corker, and if prepared
correctly will have your family queuing to nibble away at the pastry. While a
lot of people shy away from making pastry from scratch, this recipe is very simple
to follow, only needing a little forethought, and the use of a food processor
or Thermomix machine. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
With a nod to Julia Childs, this pastry does come with its own
warning; if you are afraid to use butter and cream, give it a wide berth. Even
so, we can be left feeling somewhat virtuous, as this meal is a sugar-free
zone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
If melt in your mouth meat is what you are aiming for, then the
beef cheeks should be cooked the day before and allowed to cool before filling
the pie as hot pie fillings and cold pastry don’t provide the best result. The
beef cheeks can be pre-cooked in a slow cooker for four to six hours or in a
lidded casserole pot in a slow oven for three hours. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
The quantity below easily serves 6 people, if cooking for less,
halve the ingredients to make a smaller pie. Alternatively, any leftovers will
freeze perfectly well and can be reheated slowly in a warm oven. If the pastry
starts to brown too much during reheating, cover the top loosely with aluminium
foil.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">

<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Remove the prepared beef cheeks from the fridge about an hour
before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Dry with paper towels to
remove any moisture and season with salt and pepper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
If using the oven, preheat to 140C. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Heat half of the oil in a large, lidded oven and stove-top proof
casserole dish over high heat. Cook the beef cheeks, browning on each side for
about five minutes. Remove the beef to a dish. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
In the same pot, add the carrot, onion, leek and celery and cook
for ten minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add the flour, mix well
and cook for two minutes until the flour is slightly browned. Add the wine and
bring to the boil and cook until the liquid has reduced by half the amount,
this will take about five minutes. Add the tomato paste, stock, garlic, herbs
and beetroot and mix well. Return the beef cheeks to the pot. Check for
seasoning, adding salt and pepper if necessary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
If using a slow cooker, follow the above method, and add all the
contents of the casserole dish to the slow cooker pot. Set to cook slowly for
four to six hours, checking the meat for tenderness, when tested with a fork
the meat should break away easily.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
If using the oven method, place the beef filled casserole pot with
the lid fitted, into the oven and cook for three hours. Check periodically for
liquid evaporation, and adding stock or water if necessary. Also check for
tenderness by testing with a fork.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
When the meat is cooked strain the liquid sauce from the solids
by tipping the meat and vegetables into a strainer or colander over a saucepan
to catch the juices. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
If the sauce requires thickening, heat it in the saucepan over a
medium heat until bubbling and add two to three tablespoons of plain flour
mixed with a little water to form a thin paste and mix into the hot sauce. Add
more flour and water if necessary until reached the desired thickness. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Place the strained meat and vegetables into a large clean bowl
and pour over the thickened juices and mix together. Leave the pie filling to
cool overnight in the fridge ready to assemble the following day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sour cream pastry<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Body1">
200g cold unsalted butter, chopped into small pieces<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup of sour cream<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
250g plain flour<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
one beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water for eggwash glaze<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Place the butter and flour into the bowl of a food processor or
Thermomix bowl and pulse until the mixture looks like lumpy breadcrumbs. Add
the sour cream and pulse again until the dough just comes together and forms a
ball. The secret of this pastry is to not work it too much. Remove the dough
from the mixing bowl and form into a ball, then wrap in cling wrap and place in
the fridge for about half an hour to rest. You should have small pieces of
butter still semi-solid in the dough. This will create the flaky texture of the
pastry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat the oven to 200C.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
When the pastry is rested remove from the fridge and cut into
two pieces, one a little larger than the other. The dough will be hard, so
using a rolling pin gradually roll the larger piece of dough out to about a
five millimetre thickness on a floured benchtop. This does take a bit of work
to do. Line the greased pie dish with the dough to form the base of the pie. The
pastry should come up and over the sides of the pie dish and overhang a little
by about two centimetres. Roll the remaining piece of dough to make the top of
the pie in the same way, measuring the top of the pie dish to fit. Place this
piece of dough onto a flat oven tray and chill both the dough in the pie dish
and the dough on the oven tray in the fridge for about twenty minutes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pie assembly<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Body1">
Remove both the pastry top and bottom from the fridge and the
prepared beef <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
cheeks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs from the beef mixture.
Spoon the beef mixture into the pie dish, until the mixture almost reaches the
top of the pie dish, mounding the centre slightly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
With a pastry brush paint the beaten egg wash around the rim of
the pastry. Place the top piece of rolled pastry over the pie mixture pressing
down on the rim to stick both the pastry top and bottom together. Using a small
sharp knife go around the sides of the pie and trim the pastry to the outside
edges of the pie dish. Pastry has considerable shrinkage, so do not trim any
closer than the outside edge of the pie plate. Cut two or three slits in the
top of the pastry lid to allow steam to escape and brush with the eggwash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Bake the pie for approximately twenty minutes in a hot oven or
until golden. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Vegetable parcels </b>(serves
4)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 bunch asparagus, peeled<o:p></o:p></div>

1 bunch Dutch carrots, peeled and trimmed<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">

<div class="Body1">
Aluminium foil<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Tear off four pieces of aluminium foil approximately thirty
centimetre square each. Place two pieces on top of each other to give a double
layer protection from leakage. Put the asparagus on one foil square and the
carrots on the other. Bring both sides and ends up of the foil packets to form
a dish adding two teaspoons of water and a teaspoon of butter to each,
seasoning to taste, and wrap both to seal. <o:p></o:p></div>

The design of this cake is based around the concept of the Victorian Kissing Ball. In the Victorian era, when it was usual to only bathe infrequently, flowers were pierced into pieces of round fruit to mask the strong body odours of the great unwashed. The flower covered ball of fruit would then be placed around the house. Over the years, the floral ball custom then morphed into a traditional Christmas decoration and later was also endowed with notions of romance.<br />

This Kissing Ball cake is a lemon and coconut madeira cake for the top half and an orange madeira on the bottom half, torted with home made lemon curd, covered with white chocolate and coconut ganache and covered with orange fondant and a 50/50 mixture of fondant and gumpaste flowers in orange, red, pink and yellow. The flowers are daisies, pansies, peonies and sunflowers and rice paper butterflies. The cake tin was a Wilton half sphere and was baked in two halves. The inspiration for this design came from Lindy Smith.

<div class="Body1">
As a nod to the good ol’ stars and stripes Fourth of July
celebrations, it seems fitting to celebrate the day with a yanky doodle nosh up.
In the States, backyard barbies and shared food with family and friends accompanied
by the patriotic glitter of red, white and blue flags and fireworks is the traditional
thing to do on the day. But for us Aussies, deep in winter’s grip, it’s an
indoor event with an Aussie twist - family and friends gettin’ down in our
onesies and ugg boots. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
While I’ve stuck with the basic elements of a typical
Independence Day menu, I’ve removed the “traditional” from these All-American
pork, pumpkin and slaw recipes by deleting the cane sugar content and replacing
it with Rice Malt Syrup. Rice Malt Syrup is a fructose and (mostly) glucose free
sugar alternative. This conversion is not without its controversy, and may be
considered as unpatriotic, given the Americans love of all things sweet. However,
at the risk of water-boarding for my un-American activities, I plough on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
On a recent and gradual campaign to better health, I have actively
reduced our family’s sugar intake. For a few years now, I have found that halving
the quantity of sugar in recipes rarely makes any difference to the result and allows
other flavours to shine through. In recipes where cane sugar is completely deleted,
it is replaced with a healthier alternative such as natural Rice Malt Syrup or
stevia powder. There’s enough hype and publicity floating around about our ever-expanding
waistlines, so I won’t bang on about the merits of fructose and glucose free
food. If you still prefer to use the white stuff, the quantities are included in
the following recipes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
To obtain the equivalent sweetness in foods, the approximate ratio
of Rice Malt Syrup to sugar is about half, and look for brands that contain no
added sugars. Alert: stevia is a few hundred times sweeter than sugar, so use
it sparingly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Rice Malt Syrup and stevia powder are available from
supermarkets and health food stores. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
The pumpkin puree needed for the Pumpkin Pie Slice can be made
ahead of time by placing a whole pumpkin on a tray in a 180C oven for one and
half hours or until a knife can be inserted easily through the skin. When done
remove the pumpkin from the oven and allow to cool a little before slicing and discarding
the mushy core and seeds. Scrape out the cooked pumpkin flesh and place into a
food processor bowl or use a stick blender and puree until smooth. Pumpkin
puree can be frozen for a month or so in useable quantities sealed in ziplock
bags. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Almond butter can be made at home by processing whole almonds to
a paste in a food processor or Thermomix. Alternatively, you can buy it ready
made from the supermarket or health food store, but it can be a little
expensive.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
2 kg pork ribs, cut into 3 rib portions<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 tbsp tomato paste<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tomato, diced<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated<o:p></o:p></div>

2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
½ tsp ground black pepper<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat the oven to 180C. Pour the rice malt syrup into a large
lidded stovetop and oven-proof casserole or dutch oven. Cook on the stovetop over
a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup is bubbling and toffee
like. This will take about five minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Take off the heat and stir the beer in slowly. The mixture will
bubble up, so do this at the sink. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Allowing the mixture to cool down a little stir in all the
remaining ingredients, adding the ribs in last. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Return to the heat until the sauce starts to bubble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turn the ribs over a couple of times in the
sauce to coat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Place the lid on and bake in the oven for one and half hours,
until the ribs are falling-off-the-bone tender. Stir a couple of times during
baking to ensure that the sauce is not burning. If there is a lot of liquid
remaining, and you prefer a drier consistency, remove the lid from the pot and
bake for another fifteen to twenty minutes or so to reduce the liquid. Skim any
visible fat from the surface and serve with crunchy cabbage slaw. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Despite their size, these little pastries are surrounded by much
tradition, myth and misconception. This mystery not only relates to their
provenance but the mistaken believe that these are difficult to make and great
patisserie skills are needed to produce a perfect pastry confection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seriously, if you can cook pancakes, you can
cook Caneles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As far as their provenance goes, holding Google up as your
reference source, they hail from somewhere in France, particularly around the
Bordeaux region. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although, this
information is highly dependent on which page of research you stumble upon. However,
if you are wandering around the Bordeaux area of France, you cannot miss the plentiful
supply of these cakes sold everywhere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The other controversy surrounding the Canele, is which
cooking receptacle provides the best result. Canele traditionalists, and there
is such a group, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>claim the little French
copper moulds produce perfection, and I would agree with this. If you are going
to go to the trouble of sourcing and using the copper Canele moulds, then you
would probably go to the extent of coating each mould with organic edible
beeswax prior to baking. I agree this sounds a bit extreme, but it is fully traditional
and gives the Canele its crispy exterior. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, the much more economically priced silicone moulds
still produce an excellent Canele with the mandatory crispy exterior and molten
interior without the need to use beeswax or copper. The Canele moulds are
easily purchased on Ebay or Amazon for well under fifteen aussie dollars. The
result is a little more rustic, but not discernibly different.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you plug “Canele” into Google, you will see there is a significant
amount of discourse about the difficulties of making these pastries and they
are the subject of numerous blogs that wax lyrical about methods and
equipment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have made these gorgeous
little cakes a number of times and haven’t experienced any failures using the
silicone moulds and the following recipe. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Caneles are delicious warm or cold and keep for a few days
in an airtight container in the fridge. They are usually quickly eaten, but if
you have any left, they can be warmed for ten seconds in the microwave oven to
freshen up. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They can be eaten warm or cool, and keep for a few days in
an airtight container in the fridge. My favourite is warm, where the outside is
crispy and the inside is soft and a little molten.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This mixture produces about 20 Caneles and the mixture
should be left at least 24 hours in the fridge before baking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If baking for kids, leave out the rum in the
recipe below.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2 cups whole milk<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
30g unsalted butter<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tsp vanilla paste<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
100g plain flour, sifted<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tsp sea salt<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
180g sugar<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3 eggs<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
80 ml good quality rum<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Combine the milk, butter and vanilla in a medium saucepan,
and bring to a simmer. In the meantime, combine the sifted flour, salt and
sugar in a mixing bowl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Break the eggs
into a small bowl and beat gently without incorporating any air. When the milk
mixture stars to simmer, remove from the heat and set it aside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pour the eggs all at once into the flour, then immediately
after, also pour the milk mixture into the flour, stirring until well combined<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with a wooden spoon or spatula. Do not whisk
as you do not want to incorporate air. Add the rum and stir. Let the mixture cool
to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least twenty-four hours

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to a very hot 250C.
Lightly grease the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>canele moulds with
melted butter. Remove the batter from the fridge and stir to incorporate the
liquids that may have separated. Do not whisk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If using a silicon mould, place the mould onto an oven tray
for ease of handling. Fill each mould almost to the top with the batter and put
into the oven to bake for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, reduce the
temperature to 200C and place a piece of silicon baking paper on top of the
Caneles to stop them from burning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bake
for a further twenty minutes. The tops of the Caneles should be a dark golden
colour.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remove from the oven and leave for about fifteen minutes
before unmoulding the Caneles onto a cooling rack. They should drop out easily
from their moulds and as they cool further, and will collapse only very
slightly. <o:p></o:p></div>

To mark Valentine’s Day as a special occasion we always make
sure we seek out a really special food and wine experience. Last year, we found just that at Mezzalira,
on London Circuit, part of the Trimboli Brothers growing stable of fine food
outlets which includes Italian & Sons and other soon to arrive ventures in
the burgeoning food precinct of Braddon.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This year, we decided to stay closer to home. Based on a
couple of great meals over the course of last year, and advice from friends
that it was doing degustations, we duly signed up for Ainslie’s<br />
<a href="http://www.pulp-kitchen.com.au/">Pulp Kitchen </a>Valentine’s Day degustation special.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Daniel Giordani and team have really made Pulp Kitchen into
something special.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It rarely disappoints
and always surprises.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chef Keaton
McDonnell is inventive, turning out a range of complex and attractive dishes
that balance sweet and savoury perfectly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You might raise your eyebrows as you contemplate the latest dish to land
in front of you, but you are left licking your lips and singing its praises as
the clean plate is whisked away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The evening began with a glass of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Duchess</i> sparkling cuvee, a pleasant NV from the Hunter Valley,
and with an appropriately appetite stimulating crusty Italian style bread with
a delicious and subtle lemon and fennel butter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was followed at a respectful distance by succulent
Sydney rock oysters with a brisk and refreshing champagne granita.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re not usually overly attracted to such a
combination of seafood and sweetness, but it just worked and you were left
slightly challenged but undeniably better for the tasting experience.<o:p></o:p></div>

Before the next course, we started on a 2007 Burgundy from Nuits-St

Parfait with pickled plums and fine slivers of rye toast, but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mousse</i> would be a better description of

The next course, a beautifully presented Beetroot Cured
Salmon, served with roasted beetroot and pickled cucumber. This was a delicate
and refreshing appetizer with enough zing to get the juices flowing.<br />

Next was a pick between fish or beef for the next course, I
chose the pan fried south Coast gurnard fillets (a fish I hadn’t heard of
before) accompanied by green olive risotto and braised mussels. The small
buttery fillets of fish had a strong and assertive flavour that proved a good
match to the brothy mussels and back flavours of the just al dente risotto.<br />

served with carrot and blue cheese puree with baby roast onions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a beautifully conceived and executed

Reliving travel experiences through food is a satisfying way to
keep the memories and travel bug alive. So when our companions from a recent
trip ask us to a Spanish themed lunch, I cast my mind back to our shared visit
to Spain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Spanish desserts reflect its Islamic history, dominated by the
tastes of North Africa, with almonds, honey, syrupy sugar, with fresh and dried
fruits. Alongside this, there’s a strong representation of custard based sweets,
often infused with the ubiquitous orange. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
With orange trees planted in most home courtyards and a popular street
tree, it’s little wonder that these juicy golden globes are a Spanish favourite.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
The Panchineta, a traditional Basque dessert of Islamic origin,
is a custard based pastry cream pie which bewitched both my tastebuds and my
weight while we were in Barcelona, so it seemed only right that I revive this
experience for our lunch party.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Although this dessert appears complicated, it’s very simple and
elegant and can be served warm or cold. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
In terms of timing, the pastry cream should be made first, preferably
the day before and refrigerated overnight. The pie is best served on the day
it’s made. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
I tweaked the traditional and original recipe a little by adding
slightly more cornflour and I baked it in a glass pie dish rather than straight
onto a baking sheet. This was more to avoid the custard from running out of the
pie and messing up my clean oven.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
I served this with an orange ice cream made with sour cream to
offset the richness of the tart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 sheets of frozen puff pastry, defrosted<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
120g ground almonds<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
150g castor sugar<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tbsp butter<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 litre full cream milk<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
peel of 1 orange, peeled in a continuous peel<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 cinnamon stick<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
5 egg yolks<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup cornflour<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
200g chopped raw nuts<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 egg (extra) and 2 tbsp milk whisked together<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tbsp raw sugar <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
icing sugar for dusting<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Whisk together the ground almonds and the sugar in an electric
mixer until they form a paste. Add the butter and continue beating about five
minutes. Add the egg yolks, one by one, mixing until combined. Add the cornflour
and mix well for thirty seconds. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Add a little of the milk to the mixture while mixer is off to
loosen the mix, then whisk together on a low setting, adding the remainder of
the milk slowly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Pour the custard mixture into a large heavy based saucepan over
a medium heat, adding in the cinnamon stick and orange peel. Mix constantly
with a hand whisk to keep the custard moving over the heat and to stop it
sticking and forming lumps. It should cook to a thick custard consistency.
Remove from the heat immediately and pour into a dish and cover with plastic
wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of three hours or overnight.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat the oven to 180C.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
When the custard is cooled remove from the fridge. Fish out the
cinnamon stick and orange peel and discard. Prepare the pastry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
On a floured benchtop roll out the puff pastry sheets, so they
are slightly larger, to fit the base and top of a greased, twenty-four
centimetre round pie dish. Place the rolled base pastry sheet into the dish,
pressing to fit. Trim the edges with a sharp knife leaving an extra small
margin to allow for shrinkage. Paint around the edges of the pastry base with
the egg and milk wash so the top pastry sheet will stick to it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Spoon the custard evenly onto the pastry base and place the
remaining pastry sheet over the custard, pushing down on the edges to stick to
the bottom pastry sheet. Trim the edges of the top sheet. Using a fork, crimp
down the edges of the pastry all the way around the top. Make a few slits in
the top of the pastry to allow the steam to escape.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Paint the top of the pie with the remaining egg and milk wash
and sprinkle the top heavily with the chopped mixed nuts and raw sugar.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Bake for twenty to twenty-five minutes until golden, checking
the pie does not burn.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Remove from the oven and leave to rest for half an hour before
slicing. Dust liberally with icing sugar.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
The Panchineta goes down well with some tart orange ice cream
and a small glass of Pedro Ximenez Sherry.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
With eggplant season just around the corner, try this sneaky
recipe, especially for those people with a loathing towards this humble veg.
The Berenjenas Fritas Con Miel, a Spanish Tapa found throughout the south of Spain,
turns this ordinary vegetable into succulent comfort food.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 large eggplant<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
¼ cup cornflour<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 cups milk<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
4 tbsp olive oil<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
3 tbsp good quality honey<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
Sea salt and cracked pepper<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Peel the eggplant and slice into half centimetre width rounds.
Place the eggplant slices into an airtight container and top with milk until
covered. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for a few hours.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with one teaspoon of salt. Heat
two tablespoons of olive oil in a medium frypan over medium to high heat. Line
a plate with paper towel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
When the oil is hot, dredge the eggplant slices in flour and tap
off the excess. Gently place a few slices at the time in the frypan, cooking
for about two to three minutes per side or until golden. Remove and place on
the paper towel to drain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Repeat with the remaining slices of eggplant, adding more oil to
the frypan as needed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Sprinkle the eggplant with a little sea salt and cracked pepper,
then drizzle with honey and sprinkle with thyme.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
This can be served as tapas, a dessert or as a side dish to a
main meal.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="Body1">
The heat is on, so fire up the barbeque, get the picnic rug out
and throw those ribs on the grill. We’ve had a fairly abstemious Christmas this
year, in terms of our chocolate indulgence, so in order to keep the levels up, I
turn to rubbing my meat in it. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
This newfound fascination I have for pork and
chocolate really is very seductive and moreish, and the two make a heavenly match.
The preparation is a touchy feely process of rubbing the spice mixture in, so
be prepared to get down and dirty with your ribs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
I’m fascinated by the Mexican mole influence of bitter chocolate
used in savoury dishes. With the addition of some basic cupboard spices, the ribs
turn from mediocre, to tender, melt in the mouth perfection.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
After trying a number of different chocolate and spice marinade
combinations, I settle on vanilla, spice and a hint of chilli.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
If you are a real chocoholic and you want the big flavour, try
marinating your ribs in the chocolate rub for 48 hours in the refrigerator. I
used Rich Dark Pure Dutch Cocoa that can be bought from Essential Ingredient.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 racks of pork ribs <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1/3 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tsp chilli powder<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 tbsp sea salt<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 clove garlic chopped finely<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tbsp mustard powder<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 tsp ginger powder<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
2 tsp ground cinnamon<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tsp ground allspice<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tsp vanilla paste<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Mix all of the ingredients except the ribs together in a bowl.
With clean hands rub the ribs generously with the spice mixture. If you prefer
you can add a little olive oil to the mix to make it stick to the ribs. Wrap in
plastic wrap and refrigerate at least overnight.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Remove the ribs from the refrigerator about an hour prior to
cooking, this will allow them to cook quicker and reduce burning the outside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Using a hooded barbeque, place ribs over a medium heat grill
plate, close hood and roast for about thirty minutes. Open lid and increase
temperature of barbeque and roast for about another ten minutes. Watch that
they don’t burn. Remove ribs from heat and leave to rest for ten minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>

I wonder where the family bonfires on cracker night, the
aussie-hacienda style architecture and the olive green and burnt orange kitchen
laminate have gone. I suspect relegated to the same place as the
pineapple upside down cake and such things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
I have a vivid memory of my aunt arriving at our house, wearing her
cat-eye sunglasses andvspotted sundress, stepping delicately out of her Holden EH,
Jackie O-style,clutching a Tupperware cake server. We knew what was in the
cake server, the ultimate treat – the caramelised, sticky, pineapple upside
down cake. Like all good housewives of the day, she had stocked up on tins of
pineapple rings to make this exotic delight.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
This cake is best left for a day for flavours to infuse. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup unsalted butter</div>
<div class="Body1">
1 cup brown sugar</div>
<div class="Body1">
can of sliced pineapple rings</div>
<div class="Body1">
6 maraschino cherries</div>
<div class="Body1">
6 pecans</div>
<div class="Body1">
1 cup plain flour, sifted</div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tsp baking powder</div>
<div class="Body1">
¼ tsp salt</div>
<div class="Body1">
3 eggs, separated</div>
<div class="Body1">
1 cup white sugar</div>
<div class="Body1">
5 tbsp pineapple juice, from the tin</div>
<div class="Body1">
1 tsp vanilla paste</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat the oven to 175C.</div>
<div class="Body1">
Prepare a twenty-three centimetre cake tin by adding the butter
to the cake tin and placing inside the warming oven until melted, this should
take a few minutes. Remove the tin from the oven and sprinkle the brown sugar
evenly over the butter. Place six pineapple rings evenly over the sugar and
place a cherry inside each pineapple ring. Fill the spaces between the rings
with a pecan. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
In a medium bowl, combine sifted flour, baking powder and salt,
and stir.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Using a hand mixer, in a metal or glass bowl, beat the egg
whites on high until peaked. Set aside.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Using an electric stand mixer beat the egg yolks with the sugar
at medium speed until light and creamy. Add the pineapple juice and vanilla
extract and beat well. Add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture and
beat together until well combined. Fold in the egg whites using a metal spoon
or rubber spatula. Pour the cake mixture evenly over the fruit, and smooth off
with a spatula.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Bake the cake for thirty minutes, or until the cake is golden
and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Place the cooked cake on
a wire rack to cool for ten minutes. Run a blunt knife around the edge of the
cake to loosen. Invert carefully onto a plate, as the juices will run out.
Serve warm with cream or at room temperature. This cake improves with age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The buzzing chorus of Sunday lawnmowers and the competing cicada
crescendo leave you in no doubt that summer is just around the corner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="Body1">
Add to the din the sizzle of lunch grilling on the backyard
barbeque, and Mum calling out from the kitchen for someone to check that the
meat doesn’t burn, makes my Sunday complete. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
As the deliciously crisp offerings make their way to the table
and the dog follows with his nose expectantly upturned, the unmistakeable aroma
of sweet cooked pineapple floats in the air. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
For those who love their pineapple cooked, this one is for you. The
barbeque caramelises the sugars in this tropical delight, and makes a perfect
partner to onion, basil and coconut.</div>

1 ripe whole pineapple, sliced into 2cm thick rings</div>

2 medium red onions, sliced into thick rings, keeping them

1 lemon, juice and zest</div>

2 tbsp chopped green shallots</div>

<div class="Body1">
Preheat the barbeque to a medium heat.</div>
<div class="Body1">
Drizzle the pineapple slices and onion rings with the olive oil.
Grill the pineapple and onion rings until golden and the grill marks appear on
the softened flesh. This will take about five to six minutes each side. They
should be lightly charred.</div>
<div class="Body1">

<div class="Body1">
Slice the pineapple into chunks and chop the onion rings, then
combine in a serving bowl. Add the basil leaves, shallots and coconut before

Setting the chicken aside, mix all of the marinade ingredients
together, and pour into a resealable bag or large bowl. Place the chicken
thighs in the bag, or bowl, seal the bag and rub to coat the chicken with the
marinade. Leave for a few hours to infuse and massaging the chicken
occasionally to distribute the marinade.</div>

consumed a whole loaf each time it was made for him by a childhood friend. This
friendship persisted and she developed the recipe especially for Elvis, delivering
the cooked cakes to him at Gracelands. She beefed up his version of the basic
pound cake with extra cream, creating a smooth crumbed but heavier texture, to
satisfy his food cravings that could strike at any time. </span></div>

food icon to South Africans, sometimes described as a South African moussaka. It
is best described as a light textured meat tart, flavoured with typical Cape
Malay spices and fruit, then topped with a savoury custard.</span></div>

a Dutch cookbook in the early 1600s, and makes its way to the Cape Colony sometime
in the seventeenth century. Dutch East India Company trading ships returning
from the Spice Islands to Holland via the Cape of Good Hope brought the first
Malay slaves, and their spices, to be added to the mix. Dutch colonists and migrant
Indians also have a hand in its development and the result is a truly
multicultural experience, with just the right balance of sweet, sour and spicy.</span></div>

are pretty much endless, but generally contain the wrap-around signature spice flavours
with a selection of meat, fruit and topped with an egg custard and nuts. I
chose the traditional beef mince, apples, curry, bananas, almonds and coconut
for my dish, a combination that improves if left in the fridge overnight and
warmed up the following day.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
An oozy, vanilla custard cream layer, that squeezes out as you
bite down, sandwiched between thin sheets of crispy, golden pastry topped with
a dusting of icing sugar. That slab of heaven is my ideal vanilla slice. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
With the jury still out after intense debate on what constitutes
the real thing, I strive to match the quality of the finest French vanilla slice
I’ve had in a long time. This accolade is not bestowed on a trendy patisserie in
Melbourne or Sydney, but goes to Barnetts Bakery, nestled in the picturesque NSW
north coast surfing village of Crescent Head.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
While holidaying in Crescent with the extended family in
November last year, we rapidly develop a morning ritual based around our
collective need for a decent coffee heart starter and a shared, growingly insatiable
appetite for Barnett’s fabulous vanilla slice. Our morning scouts are sent down
the hill each day to forage for these freshly baked pastry delights and half a
dozen strong flat whites, with strict instructions to return post haste with
the goodies and the day’s surf report. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
As the debate rages between enthusiasts of the French creamy,
custard variety, versus the yellow rubber Aussie icon, my Napoleonic allegiance
does not miss a beat - a heart beat that is. </div>
<div class="Body1">

<div class="Body1">
Makes 10 large slices.</div>
<div class="Body1">
Preheat the oven to 180C. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
400ml fresh cream (not thickened)</div>
<div class="Body1">
350ml milk</div>
<div class="Body1">
2 sheets of ready rolled frozen puff pastry, thawed</div>
<div class="Body1">
50g butter</div>
<div class="Body1">
2 tspn vanilla paste or extract</div>
<div class="Body1">
6 egg yolks, separated from whites</div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup caster sugar</div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup water</div>
<div class="Body1">
½ cup cornflour</div>
<div class="Body1">
Icing sugar for dusting</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Trim both sheets of puff pastry to fit a rectangle slice tin,
measuring twenty centimetres by thirty centimetres. Line the tin with non-stick
baking paper, greasing lightly to hold the paper in place. Allow some overhang of the paper to provide a handle to lift out the slice when set.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Place the two trimmed pastry sheets on a paper lined baking tray side by
side. Leave a small gap
between the two pastry sheets to allow room for spreading. Top with another
layer of baking paper and place a tray on top of the baking paper to provide a
weight on the pastry when cooking to reduce the pastry from rising and
bubbling.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Bake the pastry for fifteen minutes, checking for colour. They
should be cooked to a light golden colour. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Cool on wire racks and make the vanilla custard filling. Place
the cream, milk, sugar, butter and vanilla in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook
until the mixture is hot, but not quite boiling and remove from the heat. Mix
the water and cornflour to a smooth paste, then whisk into the hot milk
mixture. Add the beaten egg yolks and stir briskly. Return to a low heat,
stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Place one of the cooked pastry sheets into the base of the lined slice tin, it
should fit snugly. If the pastry sheet is too big, place on a flat board and
trim carefully with a sharp knife to fit. Return to the tin and spread the cooled custard over the
pastry. Top with the remaining pastry sheet, trimming to fit again if
necessary. </div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
Fold the overhanging baking paper back over the top to enclose.
Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours until set. To
remove, carefully lift the overhanging baking paper and place on a board ready
to slice. Peel away the paper.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body1">
To successfully slice this without squashing the custard from
the middle, the trick is, to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
use a small sharp knife and cut only through the top layer of
pastry, marking out ten, even sized slices. Then go back and slice the rest of
the way down through the initial cut in the pastry, with a large, sharp knife
until you hit the bottom layer of pastry and then push down to cut. <br />
