A hint of chocolate in prep for Easter: Mary Berry’s Chocolate Loaf Cake
The legend that is Mary Berry I only have one recipe to post this week as I spent last weekend with friends and so I only made it into the kitchen late on Sunday night after everyone had left. I was however determined to herald my husband’s return from his ski trip by making him … Continue reading
Flour-less chocolate cake
Sadly carb free doesn’t mean fat-free When we invited our friends over for Sunday lunch last weekend and I decided to make a flour-less chocolate cake, I thought I’d be doing a ‘good’ thing ie producing a carb-free cake as my friends were all trying to cut down on the amount of carbs they ate. … Continue reading

Those days are automatically calorie-free days… 🙂 I was introduced to Australia’s national dish as a Uni student in Melbourne in the early 1990’s but I never learnt how to make one until my mother-in-law taught me (thanks Jeannette!).
