Rhubarb, strawberry & blood orange crumble

September 8, 2015 by date with a plate.

Where does the time go? How is it September already? It’s like I’ve blinked and an entire month has completely flashed before my eyes while I semi-consciously continue to live. Perhaps it’s time to slow things down? I live just as busy a life as anyone else; forever balancing the scales of social life and work life, friend time and family time…but it can get a bit overwhelming at times. It seems there is always something to do, somewhere to […]

Sponge cake with strawberry jam icing

December 15, 2014 by date with a plate.

A couple weeks ago I made five jars of strawberry jam…awesome huh? Well, it would have been, had I managed to make proper jam, but alas, somehow mine became runny…very runny. I’ll blame it on overly juicy fruit, totally unrelated to my technical prowess – because I rock at making jam (well usually – see here). So runny is my homemade jam that its realistically just liquid strawberry with a few chunks of fruit – think Macca’s strawberry topping for […]

The post-holiday guilt (and some healthy pancakes)

November 3, 2014 by date with a plate.

While I may feel guilty about all the deep fried, over-portioned and deliciously naughty foods I ate while holidaying in the USA, I will never regret it. Never ever. I’ve given you a summary of all the amazing things I got to eat in my last post, but since then I’ve been working hard – both physically and mentally to burn off the extra “me” that appeared post-holiday. I’ve been trying to teach myself more about clean eating. But fear […]

Ricotta hotcakes, grilled banana & Greek yoghurt

August 26, 2013 by date with a plate.

I love pancakes, hot cakes, crepes and waffles – basically anything that falls under this sweet breakfast umbrella. I’m not fussy about the toppings either, give me crispy bacon or fresh fruit any day of the week, just don’t waste my time with imitation maple syrup, I only like the real deal all the way from Canada. Its liquid gold…seriously. When I make hotcakes (stacked at least three high), I want them to be fluffy, light and delicious. My version […]

Orange Syrup Cake

July 15, 2013 by date with a plate.

After receiving six brand new shiny cookbooks for my birthday, I decided over the weekend that enough was enough – it was time to start cooking and discovering. Being a sweet tooth, I was instantly absorbed by all the new cake and dessert recipes and actually endured a painful internal battle over which one to cook first. I subsequently settled on an Orange Syrup Cake, which looked like it might take me back to the hot months of an Australian […]
