Balsamic Strawberries (Not Heated)

A fantastically simple dessert. Serve with some Mascarpone or cream and a piece of almond bread.. See recipe “Recipe#222097”. For the kids serve with some ice-cream and crushed meringue. A simple dessert for a summer’s evening.

Decadently Rich Port and Chocolate Christmas Cake

This is the richest, heaviest, moistest, most alcoholic Christmas cake you’re likely to find anywhere! It’s from Australia’s “Better Homes and Gardens” magazine (December 2002). The tablespoon measurements for the spices are correct – this cake is so flavoursome it can take this quantity of spice.

Crock Pot Rabbit Stew

Variant on a few other rabbit / crock pot recipes I’ve tried. It makes a hearty one-pot meal for two people. I always like to leave the vegetables nice and chunky. You could try a little less liquid and therefore less flour to thicken, however I found this works well and the additional liquid plays well with the vegetables during cooking.

Spinach, Like You Have Never Had

My good friend Bev cooked this one day at a friends place. She had never been a spinach fan. Whole new way to look at the old “silver beet” which is a brother to the more insipid English spinach. Can be a breakfast dish with a few eggs, luncheon with a sprinkle of cheese, or side dish. Anything a little different is nice for a change 🙂
