This is as easy a recipe as I’ve seen anywhere and SO delicious: just have a glance at the ingredients and the instructions. Do recipes come any easier than this? This is Todd Cameron’s recipe and it appeared in the October issue of the Australian magazine ‘Delicious’. Todd is the chef at the Gaia Retreat & Spa near Byron Bay. How do I explain Byron Bay to non-Australians? Well the name of the retreat should give you some idea. Byron Bay, situated on the New South Wales coastline, on the Pacific Ocean, has long been the retreat of hippies – or aging hippies – and in more recent years properties there have been much sought after by Australian actors, such as Russell Crowe and Paul Hogan. So although Byron Bay still has New Age leanings, it has also become the stomping ground of the rich and famous. That said, this recipe with its three ingredients and no chopping or grating, whisking or kneading, couldn’t be simpler. Or quicker!
