Dark as Dark Chocolate and Single Malt Ice Cream

November 15, 2017

I am going to toot my own horn here and say that this is the best ice cream I have ever made.

Brown Sugar Ice Cream

December 22, 2016

‘Tis the season for custard and not just of the liquid on pudding variety. My ice cream machine has had a reasonably easy few winter months but now that summer is here it is time for it to get a proper cranking.

Lemon and Gingerade

December 14, 2016

So somehow since my last post September suddenly turned into mid December. How did that happen? Is this what happens as you get older? Is there a cruel devil mistress out there that speeds time up as some sort of sick and twisted joke? I feel like childhood advent calendars have a lot to do with drawing out the latter months of the year - you are aware of each passing day rather than witness to a full on time blur.

Banana, Peanut Butter and Salted Caramel Ice Cream

January 9, 2016

I went through one of the freezers yesterday and threw out two supermarket bags of freezer burnt food and swept out a lot of rogue peas in order to make room for this tub. I've made three tubs in a week. That is a litre and a half of cream in a week and 15 eggs just on ice cream alone!

Summer Lemonade

December 27, 2015

I love how the word glut is used to describe the crop from an overladen fruit tree. We raided Auntie Rachel's lemon tree and so once again we have a similar scenario one to one of my favourite books as a kid, Jam by Margaret Mahy. Mr Castle's plum tree is so full of plums that he fills every vessel in the house (from vases to tea cups) with plum jam. This is what is is like when we get an influx of lemons. Lemon curd on toast, lemon cake and now that summer is here we lemonade syrup has been added to the mix

Strawberries and Cream Layer Cake

November 21, 2015

I am pretty stoked strawberries are back in season. I've been a little unconventional in my consumption as I have been chopping them up and tossing them through salads. I decided to make a light summery cake and put my punnets to sweeter use.

Raspberry and Coconut Cake

October 14, 2015

I made this raspberry and coconut cake from a recipe my Mum gave me. She I believe got it from her friend Sue. Exact origins beyond that are unknown but regardless it is delicious.

White Chocolate and Strawberry Ice Cream

February 12, 2015

To the fella over there with the hella great hair....

In other news, that terrible and trashy day known as Valentines day is coming up. In celebration of being awesome by yourself, crushing hard on the unavailable and having friends who are amazing 93% of the time, make this ice cream. It's all white and red, pretty much a doily clad V-day card on a cone. It for sure tastes better than a card.

The Best Chocolate Ice Cream You Will Ever Eat

January 30, 2015

It has come to my attention that the majority of pictures that I have posted to Instagram in recent weeks have been ice cream related. In the last 48 hours I have posted four times in a row about ice cream that I have consumed. My love for frozen dairy is going to cause my toes to fall off for sure if I am not careful.

Apologies for the crap photos but I’d like to share the recipe for this family favourite. I’ve written about Dad’s favourite veggie casserole over on TheSupperClubKitchen.com under recipes worth sharing. It’s 90s nostalgia at
We’ve always seen making our own croissants as a pretty daunting task. I feel like there is a lot of mystique around their making that only trained experts can get their heads around. Since we had little else to do we (Dylan) decided to give ma
