</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was my good friend Christian's birthday a few weeks ago and to celebrate the occasion we decided to have a BBQ. Our plans were promptly squashed when it started pouring with rain so we decided to have the BBQ at my place instead. I cooked about a dozen chocolate cupcakes the night before and got up early on the day and cooked a chocolate cake. The recipe I used was Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake, I didn't have Hershey's coco so I just used dutch coco instead. The icing I made is the same one on the video (link down the bottom). I wasn't happy with the cupcakes as I had baked them for twenty minutes and the consistency wasn't as moist as I have made in the past. I decided to make a cake the next day to make up for the cupcakes. I also put aside some batter for a few extra cupcakes to experiment with the cooking time. So in the end I baked the cake for thirty minutes and it ended up sinking in the middle so next time I'll bake it for forty to forty five minutes and the cupcakes only needed twelve minutes. Also the second small batch of cupcakes had a mild taste of bicarb soda so I think I'll only add one teaspoon of bicarb soda instead of one and a half. Despite all of this we had a very relaxing afternoon eating and relaxing with good friends.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's the link to the recipe: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuuPdhhh1UY"><span style="color: #cc0033;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuuPdhhh1UY</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Note:</strong> Also in the video she uses Crisco shortening which we don't seem to have in Canberra or Australia for that matter but we do have Copha which is the same thing but comes in a hard block. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">You'll need to melt it down to liquid form first then leave it to set. Once set, just spoon it into the mixing bowl. You'll find Copha above the butter in the supermarket, it has a cute picture of a smiling cupcake on the side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="color: black;">Are you a creature of habit? I know I am. I tend to cook the same fail safe recipes over and over again. I get stuck in a cooking rut. A few weeks ago I went to an Asian store at the Fyshwick fresh food markets. I found a packet of satay seasoning mix and decided to give it a go. Some people walk past their local Asian grocery store because they seem strange. They're usually overstocked, with very thin ails, they have exotic smells and foods you could never imagine. My mum used to take my sister and I into these stores when we were young so we grew up eating steamed pork buns, samosa, prawn toast and hokkin noodle stirfry's. I would encourage anyone to step out of their comfort zone and have a look around. You'll find some pretty amazing marinates, sauces, noodles and much much more.</span><br />

It comes with two seasoning mixes the first is the satay seasoning mix the second is peanut sauce powder. All you have to do is cut up half a kg of chicken either thigh or breast. <br />
<strong>Note:</strong> I always highly recommend boneless thigh fillets as the meat is a hundred times more tender then breast meat. <br />
<br />
Anyway cut the chicken into large cubes. Mix the packet of satay seasoning with 1/4 cup of coconut milk you don't have to be exact I used half a small can. Add salt and pepper then add the chicken and mix until the chicken is completely covered. Place in a glass or ceramic tray or bowl and leave to marinate overnight or for a few hours. The longer it marinades the more tender and flavoursome the meat will be. Twenty minutes before you're ready to cook soak a dozen bamboo skewers in cold water for roughly twenty minutes then strain the water out. Turn on your oven 200 degrees fan forced or 392 Fahrenheit.<br />
<br />
Grab the chicken and thread it onto the skewers about three to four large cubes. Set aside and heat up a large saucepan on high then add some oil. Once the oil is smoking place five skewers into the saucepan. Cook until lightly brown then turn over and do the same. They should only be cooking for roughly three minutes per side. Do not over cook! While the chicken is cooking mix packet B peanut sauce powder with half a cup of coconut milk and two teaspoons of oil, heat the mixture until it boils then take it off the heat and set aside. As they are cooking baste the chicken with the peanut sauce and line a plate with paper towel. Once the chicken is lightly browned on both sides place on the paper towel and continue cooking the other skewers. Once all the skewers are cooked and have been placed on the paper towel. Pop the skewers on a tray lined with baking paper. Baste both sides generously with the peanut sauce and cook in the oven for ten minutes. When the time is over take them out and baste them in the sauce again. Serve with rice. Yum! Sweet, juicy, succulent chicken satay. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I made this beautiful cake because I bought a few bananas a couple of weeks ago when they were green. I waited and waited for them to go yellow. By the time they turned yellow they had brown spots all over them. So I was ready to chuck them out until I thought hey! I could make banana cake! I immediately googled 'moist banana cake' and up popped hundreds of pictures of banana cake. I slowly went through them and found one which looked the best. I went to the website and found a wonderful blog called 'in my studio'. This lovely blog had so many amazing recipes I quickly put it in my favourites. Reading the recipe I found I already had most of the ingredients in the fridge and pantry - woohoo! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I made a few small adjustments to the recipe. I added two handfuls of crushed walnuts and I used electric beaters instead of a food processor. For the icing I added two tablespoons of lemon juice instead of two and a half teaspoons, the zest of half a lemon and doubled the quantity. Next time I will definitely follow the recipe and use very over ripe black bananas. I will probably only cook it for forty five minutes as well. This is an absolutely fantastic recipe and I highly recommend it. Also I highly recommend you click on the following link and check out other delicious recipes at 'in my studio'. <a href="http://lickthebowlgood.blogspot.com.au/">http://lickthebowlgood.blogspot.com.au/</a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://inmystudio.com.au/2011/11/01/moist-banana-cake-cream-cheese-icing/">http://inmystudio.com.au/2011/11/01/moist-banana-cake-cream-cheese-icing/</a><br />

Hello? Anyone? I'm not sure if anybody is still reading my blog since I fell off the face of the blogging earth. It's been five long months since I posted </span>anything new here but I'm back and I ready to share more foodie adventures, recipes, photos and more. This post is a week late but better later then never. Last year I lost my blogging mojo I planned on getting back on board in the Christmas holidays. Sadly my mum got very sick over Christmas so I took her to the hospital on boxing day and figured she'd be out the next day. She was moved to intensive care and my sister, dad and I were told she had a fifty per cent chance of survival. At that point I couldn't conceive loosing my mum. As each day went by she got weaker and by new years eve morning we lost her forever. It all happened so quickly that most days I still can't believe it. I decided to start posting again because I remembered how proud mum was that made a food blog. My mum was a great cook , she taught home economics for years at many different high schools. Mums passion for cooking rubbed off on me from an early age. So in honour of my wonderful loving mum here is my first post for 2012 . I love you mum, I miss you every day.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To start, boil a large pot of water and peel the label off the can of condensed milk. Carefully lower the can into the boiling water with some tongs. Leave the can in the boiling water for roughly one and a half to two hours . You will need to check the water every once and a while as it will evaporate; just keep topping it up with hot water. Once the time is up fish the can out of the water using tongs. Place the can <strong>unopened </strong>into a bowl of cold water and let it sit for around thirty minutes. If it's still very warm to the touch put it back into cold water and leave for another twenty minutes. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Warning:</span> do not open the can if it is hot or if it hasn't been left to cool in water. Otherwise you can expect burning hot caramel to explode in your face. True story.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

While the can is cooling, preheat the oven. Check the instructions on the brownie mixture box for the oven temperature as it can vary depending on your oven. Put the brownie mixture, eggs, oil, milk chocolate chips and water in a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are combined. Do not use an electric beater. Line a pan with baking paper and then scrape the mixture into the pan. Remove the condensed milk can out of the cold water. Read the above warning before opening the can. Pull the lid off facing away from you. Using a table or dessert spoon, scoop out the caramel a bit at a time and put dollops of it all over the brownie mixture. Next take a knife and put the tip into the mixture and run the knife slowly around the pan in a swirling motion, it should leave a slightly marbled effect. <br />

Pop the pan into the oven and bake for one hour. The brownie box says to bake it for thirty minutes but when I checked it wasn't cooked properly so I baked it for another half and hour. I was so eager to taste it that I didn't wait until they cooled properly and I when I cut them up they ended up looking like a gooey mess. Even though I baked them for thirty minutes longer than recommended they still ended up being very moist and gooey. It was too soft to cut into lovely neat squares so sadly I don't have any photos. They aren't pretty but I can guarantee they are a creamy chocolate dream that will make you weak at the knees. Although this recipe didn't work out I have plans to work on it further and adjust it so hopefully it will come out looking aesthetically pleasing next time. Stay tuned.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This recipe is incredibly comforting, it's a recipe from <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/my_cookbook/">The Pioneer Women Cooks book</a>. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">By far my most treasured book in a vast cook book collection. I could go on and on about this incredible book, it's gorgeous step by step photos, mouthwatering recipes and of course it's stunning author and photographer <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/about/">Ree Drummond</a>. I've followed her blog daily over the last couple of years, her warm honest writing style and full flavoured recipes make any foodie fall in love with her. This particular recipe was made up by her sister Betsy, the minute I lay eyes on it I was desperate to make it. Warm pasta, sweet juicy prawn pieces drenched in rich creamy tomato sauce. I changed the recipe slightly by using curly fettuccine pasta and adding 3 handfuls of <a href="http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://www.fonterrafoodservices.com/media/content/pi_parm_shred_1kg.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.fonterrafoodservices.com/resources.php%3Fid%3D87&usg=___GED6GUeoElIC0aXrnbvTJYDIIU=&h=4572&w=3216&sz=5631&hl=en&start=45&zoom=0&tbnid=cPvpK8R_OgZmqM:&tbnh=132&tbnw=85&ei=u6j4TfbCFouWvAOHm4CJDA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DPerfect%2BItaliano%2Bshredded%2Bparmesan%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1076%26bih%3D444%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&biw=1076&bih=444&iact=rc&dur=375&page=5&ndsp=11&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:45&tx=59&ty=70">shredded Parmesan </a>and used a 4 tablespoon of tomato puree instead of 1 can of tomato sauce. I also mixed in 1 table spoon of corn flour which I first dissolved in 3 tablespoons of water, this was to thicken the sauce . I couldn't find fresh basil in Coles or Woolies so I settled for minced <a href="http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGT5aZQb0KDB67yAhEhm0NKKgDKjb32Y58bg-XTIXnoM28Ofx6ma-hrTIUUHRYfEuq54g31gunKUcz5LkT9pdfa6D5OfWrLXwS1CpMsFDhkP4nE6E67MlqheiQwgUwemIDX-5QqRybFig/s400/basil.jpg&imgrefurl=http://r-eight.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html&usg=__vKqOV0hxzozhU6-YAUh07UgDkts=&h=370&w=186&sz=15&hl=en&start=108&zoom=1&tbnid=EhquY_l0ELdUuM:&tbnh=128&tbnw=57&ei=xqf4Tf2OL4HovQOXv4mJDA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbasil%2Bin%2Ba%2Btube%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1076%26bih%3D444%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=795&page=10&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:108&tx=54&ty=57"> basil in a tube</a>.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I thought of making these after eating Cadbury Hazelnut Milk Chocolate and pretzels at the same time. The flavour combination was delicious. I googled my idea for chocolate covered pretzels and found 380,000 images learning immediately that my idea was nothing new. Still I wasn't deterred and decided to go ahead anyway. The results we not pretty but they tasted fantastic! They are a perfect combination of salty and sweet. The creamy sweet milk chocolate combined with the crunchy salty savoury flavour is incredible tasty as well as being a pinch to make. Go ahead and give it a go!</div><br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 block of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate. I would recommend 2 blocks as one didn't seem enough to me. You could also use Cadbury Hazelnut Milk Chocolate.<br />
1 packet of salted pretzels. I used Parker's Pretzels. <br />
1 packet of unsalted raw hazelnuts. 1 packet was equal to 1 cup of hazelnuts.<br />
To roast the hazelnuts place them on a tray covered with baking paper and pop them into a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for a fan forced oven or 356 degrees Fahrenheit or gas mark 4. Bake for 7- 10 minutes keeping a close eye on them. If they are over cooked they will have an incredibly bitter taste so watch out. Lay out a clean tea towel and place the hazelnuts onto half the towel. Fold it over, place your hands on top and rub vigorously all over, this will remove most of the outer skins. Next chop the nuts with a knife until fine or place the nuts into a blender as I did.<br />
<br />
Simmer some water in a small saucepan and pop a glass or metal bowl on top, making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl. Break the chocolate into pieces and place into the bowl. Keep an eye on the chocolate and once half melted move the saucepan off the heat and leave it to rest. The chocolate should continue to melt. If not, just pop it back on the heat and stir with a metal spoon. Once melted place half the chopped nuts into the chocolate and mix through and leave to cool. I didn't do this and learnt the hard way.<br />
<br />
One by one dip the pretzels into the chocolate then hold it up and give a shake so the excess drips off. I made half a batch dipped in chocolate, and half a batch dipped in chocolate and then sprinkled heavily with extra finely chopped hazelnuts. Place each chocolate covered pretzel onto a tray covered with baking paper and pop the trays in the fridge for an hour or two until they are set. Enjoy!<br />

Essen holds a lot of great memories for me, during high school and college it was a typical hang out with friends. Years later I'm still drawn into its warm bohemian atmosphere and comforting food. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Main. Char grilled lamb loin with a warm potato salad, sugar snap peas and cumberland sauce. The lamb was perfectly cooked medium which is exactly how I like my meat. The sauce reminded me of a jus, it had a rich meaty flavour which complemented the lamb beautifully. The potatoes had a creamy mustard dressing. The sugar snap peas were lightly cooked, sweet and crispy, a perfect combination when eaten with the lamb.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I tried little of the chicken and found it to have a strongly seasoned aniseed flavour. I'm not fond of aniseed at all but those who love liquorish would enjoy this dish.</div><div align="left" style="text-align: left;"><br />

The cheese was cut by the bride and groom at the end of the evening. It was then whisked away and cut up and layed out with a variety of crackers, fig paste, strawberries and pistachio nuts. My guess of the cheeses were brie, camembert, blue and vintage cheddar. The brie and camembert were my favourite, rich, gooey, creamy, the perfect ending to a wonderful day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The fish was incredible, it was the most juicy, tender, fresh, succulent fish I have ever eaten; the batter was light, crispy; the chips were not great, a little soggy and not a lot of taste. After washing it all down with Coke and iced coffee we headed to explore the beach. At sunset we relaxed by the water eating ice cream.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It's finally here! My gravy recipe! I am very proud to post this recipe. This is the most thick, creamy and gratifying gravy you could imagine. No matter how bad my day has been this gravy never fails to sooth and comfort. This gravy is simply amazing. I usually cook roast chicken and roast veggies mid week which may sound like too much work but with a few easy short cuts it's not as time consuming or difficult as it seems.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdlgapAiiU3wT87usR038_kCbRnMt7B6zbiw0Z7IH2qtHCE2XrTDIMBsMnF0GXlt9SWphkYgqiY7h_Pd5AA2xba3l3GRQpvYXjW6Psu9XNYwBPoq6qE-gn8pQYEyx4WqDDzfr0uuberM0/s1600/IMG_0275.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266px" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdlgapAiiU3wT87usR038_kCbRnMt7B6zbiw0Z7IH2qtHCE2XrTDIMBsMnF0GXlt9SWphkYgqiY7h_Pd5AA2xba3l3GRQpvYXjW6Psu9XNYwBPoq6qE-gn8pQYEyx4WqDDzfr0uuberM0/s400/IMG_0275.JPG" width="400px" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">Buy a pre-marinated whole roast chicken, the one in this photo is the standard Coles size which is 1.7kg. I buy mine from Coles or Woolworth's. Grab a couple of packets of Birds Eye roast vegetables. Preheat the oven 200 degrees fan forced for ten minutes, chuck the chicken on some oven proof paper and spray with oil, put the chicken on top, give it a big sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1/3 cup of oil (massage all over the breast and sides, if you have time). Pop the chicken in the oven for 30 minutes. While the chicken is cooking away grab a big bowl and throw in a few big swings of canola or vegetable oil and mix in the herb sachets. Next chuck the frozen veggies in and mix until the veggies are fully covered in the herby oil. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87gqwH_PCHWivr75MJuncT0ewf8eb3nnYTR79tPGSetzdVoR10sYyua2eZJS1117X-hW_eAy2_3pwWaTKN-Lbs3fYlnCqIorOq9fcAk31Zql49YoqGkMFwQmXOkoaU-JNn26AwVGKG0A/s1600/IMG_0188.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212px" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87gqwH_PCHWivr75MJuncT0ewf8eb3nnYTR79tPGSetzdVoR10sYyua2eZJS1117X-hW_eAy2_3pwWaTKN-Lbs3fYlnCqIorOq9fcAk31Zql49YoqGkMFwQmXOkoaU-JNn26AwVGKG0A/s320/IMG_0188.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

But if you want a perfectly cooked moist chicken then take it out 15 minutes early. Take the chicken out and put it in a large bowl and cover with glad wrap, put aside, now its time to make the gravy. Note: the chicken will continue to cook while standing. Always leave a chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

With the help of my friend Jess we made her a delicious and impressive looking cake. It was pretty easy to make as we simply used two packets of Betty Crocker Decedent Chocolate Mud Cake mix. After cooking the two cakes I left them to cool and then cut them in half. Jess and I then made an incredibly thick chocolate icing which was slathered between each half of the cakes. Finally we used another packet mix for the profiteroles. All up it took about four hours and the result was a decadent, moist cake. I'll definitely make this cake again, it was a winner. Heres the link for the icing recipe: (note) I doubled the recipe amount and added about half a cup of coco powder to make to icing darker. Warning! my electric beaters almost burnt out while making this, it is an incredibly thick icing recipe. </span></span><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Kingsleys Steak and Crab House</strong></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Well it's been four years that my man Andrew and I have been together. To celebrate we went to Kingleys Steak and Crab House. I've heard good things about this restaurant and I'd been looking forward to seeing what all the fuss was about. Apart from wanting to explore their delicious sounding menu the restaurant looks like it has an elegant but relaxed feel to it. I wanted a place Andy and I could feel comfortable but somewhere that still felt special. That's exactly how we felt being at Kingsleys. We dinned outside, tonight was a perfect night to eat out, warm but not muggy, just a lovey night to be outside.</div><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The service was exceptional, our waitress was very attentive and friendly. I ordered a rib eye steak cooked medium with Bearnaise sauce and an Alaskan King Crab claw. My steak was great, dark char grill marks scorched on top and below with a side of chunky rustic chips. The chips were crisp and had a fresh potato taste, no taste of oil at all. The steak was cooked perfectly, a lovely juicy meaty taste. Andrew gave me a taste of his New York sirloin, also cooked medium, it has a much stronger beef flavour than mine as it has been hung for longer .Bearnaise sauce is something I've always wanted to try. It's described as a rich thick yellow butter and egg yolk emulsion, heaven in my book. It tasted very creamy, rich with a slight tartness, a slight kick when it first dissolves in your mouth, the creaminess follows. I only wish the serving of Bearnaise was a little bigger. The crab claw was amazing! Fresh, sweet, soft and incredibly juicy. As soon and I tasted the crab I regretted ordering steak and only one crab claw. Next time I will be ordering lots of crab! </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"> <br />
Dessert was heaven. We both chose the Chantilly profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Despite the waiter giving me a confusing explanation as to what Chantilly meant they were delicious. They were light and filled with a lovely creamy creme patisserie. The filled profiteroles were served with the accompanied chocolate sauce served in a tiny ceramic pouring jug. The waiter himself poured the chocolate sauce on top which struck me as a tad unusual. The chocolate sauce was beautifully made, a rich, sweet, well rounded flavour which wasn't sickening. I enjoyed the flavour greatly as it was balanced well with cream leaving it without a bitter overpowering taste. </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Over all it was a great restaurant, fresh, high quality beautifully cooked food. Great ambiance and excellent service. I won't lie the prices aren't cheap with steaks starting at $20 and going up to $45. The crab is also on the pricey side but seafood is always that way. For a special occasion or if you are well off this is a great restaurant. </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"> </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">125 Bunda Street,Canberra ACT 2601 Phone: 1300 546 475 </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Open Mon-Sat 12pm-10pm; Sun 12pm-9pm</div>Here's a few photos.

</div><div align="left" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What you'll need</strong>:</div><div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">1 packet of puff pastry</div><div align="left" style="text-align: justify;">A small jar of your favourite jam, I like strawberry.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I came up with the idea for this delicious little balls of heaven after a failed attempt at making Toblerone brownies in muffin tins. Despite the fact the I had liberally sprayed oil all over the tins, in the end each one was stuck. I suspected I had added too much mixture to each muffin hole. I was pretty disappointed but then suddenly had an idea of how to save them. After pulling off all the hard tops I scraped out the remaining moist brownie mixture from the bottom off each hole. I rolled each spoonful into a ball and melted so left over dark cooking chocolate. I popped each brownie ball into the melted chocy and covered them well, I then placed them onto a tray covered with baking paper and put them into the freezer. I used the freezer instead of the fridge because Andrew and I were running late for dinner at his parents house for Fathers day. Once they had set we headed off to dinner. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">His family said they tasted great but as I used dark cooking chocolate to coat them I was very unhappy with the taste, too bitter. Straight after biting into one I gave the rest to Andrew and immediately started thinking of how I could improve them. So this is the end result of a little brainstorming. This time I used Toblerone because one I prefer milk chocolate and two I don't know anyone who doesn't love toblerone.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> I rolled them in toasted chopped almonds because I love the taste and texture of toasted flaked almonds and almonds are an ingredient in toblerone chocolate. So here is the recipe with step by step photos. They were a pinch to make and even better to eat. When you first bite into them they have a lovely light crunchy texture, then a soft and dense chocolatey brownie center, and the melting creamy toblerone coating mmmm heaven.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<strong><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This cake is the first in line from my 'search for the best chocolate cake' challenge. I found it while hunting on You Tube and as soon as the video finished I was pumped and ready to make this wonderful looking cake. After searching for Hershey's chocolate, I finally grabbed a few small bars of dark chocolate from Hawker shop's which seemed to be one of the few dam places in Canberra you can actually get your hands on some. Hershey's coco powder isn't available in Canberra so I went with the next best thing, dutch coco from Cooking Co-coordinates at the Belconnen markets, you can get dutch coco from the supermarket too. The icing/frosting I used is made with Hershey's Dark chocolate. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So whats my verdict on Hershey's perfectly chocolate, chocolate cake. Well at risk of sounding premature as this is only the first cake I've made from the series, it's bloody amazing, excuse my french. It is truly is, the texture was so incredibly moist, when cutting it, it made a sort of smooshy sound that's difficult for me to describe to you. Just know that it is probably the most moist, soft, satisfying chocolate cake you will ever eat. That said, at the same time it's not so moist that it sticks to the roof of your mouth and feels suffocating. Simply put, to me, it was <span style="color: #783f04;">perfect. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">I'm sure your reading this thinking</span><span style="color: black;"> " sure Jem, well that was a easy, the first cake you cooked was perfect, no need to keep searching now, lazy ". Well, as convinced as I am that this is the perfect chocolate cake I'm not about to throw in the tea towel and admit defeat. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">I still vow to keep cooking my way though many chocolate cakes. The icing/frosting I made from the video was also very good, it was fluffy, creamy and went very well with the cake but again I'm still on the search for more icing/frosting recipes too.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So here's the link for Hershey's, well technically I should say <span style="color: #783f04;">Perfect Dutch</span><span style="color: #783f04;"> Coco Chocolate Cake:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuuPdhhh1UY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuuPdhhh1UY</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the video she puts it in the oven for 35 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I cooked it it needed longer, 45-50 minutes at 176 degrees fan forced, keep an eye on it as ovens vary. Also in the video she uses Chisco shortening which we don't seem to have in Canberra or Australia for that matter but we do have Copha which is the same thing but comes in a hard block. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">You'll need to melt it down to liquid form first the leave it to set. Once set, just spoon it into the mixing bowl. You'll find Copha above the butter in the supermarket, it has a cute picture of a smiling cupcake on the side.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;">Ingredients:</span></strong><br />
* One packet of thin sliced or shaved ham (I like to use smoked ham) also ham off the bone is even better<br />
* A hand full of packet shaved Parmesan.<span style="font-size: 0px;"></span><br />
* 9 eggs, free range, please don't used caged ones:(<br />
<br />
* 1/3 of a cup of thicken cream<br />
<br />
* 1 medium sweet potato<br />
<br />
* 1 packet puff pastry<br />
<br />
* medium brown or white onion<br />
<br />
* Dried Italian herbs (optional)<br />
<br />
*Salt & pepper<br />
<br />
* 1/4 cup of vegetable or canola oil<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Take the pastry out of the freezer and leave it to thaw. Preheat a fan forced oven to 250 degrees. Peel and cut the sweet potato into cubes. Place the cubes onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and cover with the oil, salt and pepper. Using your hands massage the oil and cubes together. Chuck the cubes into the oven for about forty minutes until brown, keep an eye on them as ovens vary. Next place one sheet of pastry on top of a quiche dish and smooch the pastry around the sides if the dish with you fingertips. If You need more for the sides just cut some extra pastry into stripes and again smooch the pastry around the sides. Using a fork, prick the bottom about seven times all over.<br />
<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 200 drees. Chop the onion finely. Heat a pan until hot then add a slosh of oil until it smokes then add the chopped onion and keep stirring on high heat for a minute.<br />
<blockquote>Turn down the heat and stir occasionally for another few minutes until they are soft and turn brown, leave to cool. Chop the ham roughly. Crack all the eggs into a bowl, add salt,pepper, Italian herbs and whisk, add the cream, onion,and whisk again until combined. Using your finger tips press down on all the sweet potato cubes. Next sprinkle the ham, cubes and Parmesan cheese evenly over the pastry covered dish. Pour the eggy mixture all over ingredients in the dish, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and pop into the oven for about forty five minutes, check it after thirty minutes. When it's golden on top and all puffed up it's ready.</blockquote><br />
Hope you enjoy, love Jem.<br />

<strong>Mocha cake</strong><br />
I cheated a bit by using two boxes of chocolate cake mix from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Coles</span>. After stirring eggs, and milk and the dry cake mixture together I dissolved about three table spoons of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Nescafe</span>' Gold instant coffee in four tablespoon of steaming boiled water then added it to mixture and stirred. I only have one round cake tin so I put half the mixture into a tin bake it, took it out to cool, cleaned the tin and put in the last half of the mixture and baked it. After thoroughly cooling them i cut them in half using a serrated long knife. <br />
<br />
<strong>Mocha frosting</strong><br />
I made a thick chocolate frosting and added three table spoons of the same instant coffee again and dissolved in three teaspoons of boiling water. I stirred the coffee into the icing then spreading equal amounts of the frosting between each layer.<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ingredients</span>:</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">250g Butter - chopped</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Method:<br />
<br />
Beat butter using an electric beater on medium speed. Beat butter until white as possible. Gradually beat in half the sifted icing sugar then add all the milk (in which you have added dissolved coffee), then remaining icing sugar. </span><br />

<strong>Chocolate Fudge Frosting</strong><br />
Next i made a very very thick chocolate fudge frosting then covered the entire cake with it. This frosting was so thick it broke my electric mixer and my plastic scrapper. So in future I will follow the recipe properly and use my blender instead.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc6600;">Chocolate Fudge Frosting: (recipe doubled)</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Warning: Do not use electric beaters ( they may explode - learnt from experience)</span></strong><br />
400g butter softened - to achieve this, place in microwave for 10-15 seconds<br />
400g icing sugar<br />
400g dark chocolate - melted (I used C<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">adbury</span> dark cooking chocolate)<br />
Sift icing sugar. Place softened butter and sifted icing sugar in a food processor / blender and process/blend on medium speed until combined. Add melted chocolate and process/blend on medium to high speed until thick and smooth. Done!<br />

<br />
<strong>White and Dark Chocolate Leaves</strong> <br />
I made the chocolate leaves by melting dark and white chocolate in separate metal bowls over a saucepan of simmering water on the stove. Don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowls over wise the chocolate will go clumpy, also the same thing will happen if any water gets into the chocolate. Use a metal spoon to stir the chocolate. After melting the chocolate I painted about fifty leaves i had collected earlier. I washed and tried the leaves thoroughly before hand. I used a soft thin brush to paint with. The chocolate hardens after a while so I had to keep putting it back on the simmering water. When the chocolate dried, I carefully peeled it off, peeling from the part which was closest to the stem. They can be kept in the fridge if its a warm day. If you are going to attempt this, be patient, it's fussy work but the end result is worth it.<br />
When i had all the chocolate leaves ready i began to place the leaves side by side starting from the outside of the cake working my way in. I used large leaves around the sides and smaller ones in the middle. I then added a few more leaves to any areas that had spaces between them.<br />

<br />
I made these corset cupcakes for vintage themed party for my friend Kit. I used a simple butter cake recipe for the base and coloured some store bought fondant with gel food dyes. I shaped the corsets by hand, then painted them with black gel dye which I mixed with a few drops of water to thin out. I used a very thin brush to paint with. I then finished them by pushes tiny coloured choc chips around the sides.<br />

<div align="left"><strong>Lacy Bra, Underwear and Corset Cookies</strong></div><br />
<br />
<div align="left">These cookies were also for the vintage party. I cheated by buying a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Coles</span> brand butter cookie mix. After following the instructions I rolled out the dough and cut them out using a heart shaped cookie cutter. Next i cut off the pointed lower part of the heart the smoothed the sides with my fingers. After baking them i coloured some Betty <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Crocker</span> Vanilla frosting with pink food gel them piped it on into the cookies. I decorated the underwear further by adding some coloured choc chips.</div><br />

I then smoothed all the edges with my fingers. I then piped on the details as i looked at a picture of the Yellow Submarine album cover.</div><br />

<div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong><span style="color: black;">What You'll need:</span></strong> </div><div align="left"><br />
- 1kg of pork spare ribs or american style pork ribs ( available at Coles and Woolworths)<br />
<br />
- 1 and a half tablespoons of Hoisin sauce<br />
<br />
- 3 teaspoons of sugar<br />
<br />
- 1 tablespoon of honey<br />
<br />
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce<br />
<br />
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or 2 fresh garlic cloves<br />
<br />
- 1 teaspoon of fresh or powered ginger ( i used chopped ginger from a jar)<br />
<br />
- salt and pepper<br />
<br />
- a small grinding of dried chilli ( optional)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you used fresh ginger or garlic finely chop it. Throw all the above ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined. I prefer to use my hands to mix all the ingredients together then add the ribs and rub the sauce all over them.<br />
<br />
Place the ribs side by side in a glass or ceramic dish or large bowl, don't use a metal bowl if marinating for longer than an two hours. Cover with plastic wrap and pop int the fridge for a minimum of thirty minutes. The longer you leave them to marinade the better the will taste.<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven on 200 degrees for ten minutes. Take your ribs out of the fridge and place them side by side in a baking tray lined with baking paper or foil (save the left over sauce).<br />
<br />
Pop them into the oven for forty five minutes ( turn them over and baste them using a spoon or pastry brush after the first twenty minutes).<br />
<br />
Serve with rice, yum!<br />
Hope you enjoy, Love Jem. </div>Jem Jems Food Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13748042399079356499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1247583187291404964.post-88597823815339260982010-06-26T02:22:00.000-07:002010-08-16T05:07:18.330-07:00<div align="center"><strong><span style="color: #993300; font-size: 180%;">When a good cake goes bad</span></strong></div><br />

This is a mud cake I made for my partner Andrew's 23rd birthday. I had woken that morning with a plan to make him breakfast in bed, grab his present from the shops and bake him a lovely double milk chocolate mud cake. That plan promptly fell apart when I woke up with a screaming head ache, fever and a runny nose. Lucky for me, my best friend Caitlin had previously arranged to come over and help me make the cake. She found me wrapped up on the couch and sprung into action heading to McDonald's to buy us breakfast, well, by that time it was lunch. After a lifesaving breakfast of cheese burgers, chips, coke and chicken nuggets, we began to make the cake. </div><div align="justify">Without reading the recipe, I thought it was going to be a pinch, how wrong I was. Never underestimate a mud cake recipe. Firstly, the chocolate needs to be melted and stirred carefully, then cooled before being added to other dry ingredients, a time consuming activity one should never attempt when unwell. Secondly, as mentioned before, mud cakes take a considerable amount of time to cook, this one took an hour and a half. </div><div align="justify">I also stuck with my original plan to make white and milk chocolate curls for decoration on top.</div><div align="justify">I forgot just how annoying they were to make. The first time I tried scraping the chocolate off the glass cutting board, it was too soft, so I put it in the fridge, but then, too hard, the chocolate crumbled. After leaving it for a bit, I tried again, but without much more success. The next disaster was the icing, the cream separated despite the recipe saying it wouldn't, so I added about five over-flowing cups of icing sugar (unsifted) because at this point i was about to crack it. The icing didn't thicken, it dripped, so I poured it over the cake which I placed on a drying rack over the sink so the excess would drip off. I carefully placed the half crumbled curls on top, and then got ready to go to Andrew's parents place for dinner. When I returned, I found the curls had started to slide off the sides of the cake. I carefully pushed my left hand under and my right hand under holding a knife to support it as well. I slowly lifted it up and moved it towards a plate and *SPLAT!* The cake broke into four large pieces, each piece falling pretty side down in various places on the bench and stove.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">After spending around five hours, measuring, melting, mixing, sifting, whisking and baking, *splat!* I yelled "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Noooooooooooooo</span>!!!" Then stood in shock with my mouth open, Andrew came in and asked what happened but I didn't answer. Next I broke down crying and ran to the bathroom with my arms flailing (imagine ET running with chocolate all over his hands).</div><div align="justify">After twenty minutes of solid sobbing we headed off to his parents. In the end Andrew mashed it all back together and together with some friends we ended eating it all up .</div><div align="justify">It tasted pretty good.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">So I learnt a few things from that disastrous culinary experience. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">1: Try not to attempt cooking when sick.</div><div align="justify">2: <strong>Always</strong> wait until the cake it completely <span style="color: #3366ff;">cooled</span> before attempting to move a cake :(</div><div align="justify">3: Laugh.</div><div align="justify">I hope you enjoy.

- Depending on your appetite, three or four free range eggs, please don't buy the caged ones :(<br />
- Shaved ham. I like to used shaved smoked ham.<br />
- Two slices of processed cheese, the ones that come individually wrapped<br />
-A big blob of thickened cream or milk (about half a cup)<br />
- Half a fresh tomato<br />
-Butter<br />
-oil<br />
-salt and black pepper<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Step one:</strong> Roughly chop the ham and tomato.Put the stove onto medium ( half way down) and place a saucepan on top. Crack all the eggs into a bowl, tilt the bowl to the side and using a fork whisk until combined. Use a whisk if you prefer. Next add a blob of cream about a forth of a cup and add salt and ground black pepper (white is fine too). Tilt to the side and whisk again until combined.<br />

<strong>Step three: </strong>Pour the egg mixture into the pan and leave to set a little, about 15 seconds.<br />

Gently pull the egg around a little, not too much otherwise you'll end up with scramble eggs.<br />

This is how i make brownies. It's a cheats version of brownies for chocolate lovers who are tired from work and need a chocolate fix.<br />
<br />
<strong>What you'll need:</strong><br />
*1 box of Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix.<br />
*Vegetable or canola oil<br />
*water<br />
*eggs<br />
*1 packet Nestle Milk Choc Bits<br />
*1 packet Nestle white Choc Bits<br />
*200g block of Cadbury Milk Chocolate<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to the packet instructions. Roughly chop the Cadbury block. Read the brownie packet instructions. Throw the brownie mix, eggs, water, oil, half of both packets of Choc Bits, Cadbury chopped chocolate and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Line a brownie pan the baking paper and spray with cooking oil. Scoop the thick mixture into the pan and smoosh it all over the pan so its even. Pop in into the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes. Leave to cool for ten minutes. Place a chopping board on top and whilst holding the pan against the tin, turn over. Gently peel the baking paper off and cut into squares or rectangles using a large knife. Gently turn them over and place them on a plate.<br />
Serve while still warm with a cold glass of milk.<br />
