Text of the page (random words):
volved no baking i came across this lime chiffon pie on off the spork s blog and could not resist the end result was a really light airy and delicious pie i ended up using gluten free sweet biscuits too so for those allergy sufferers this is easily gluten and dairy free i m not the biggest citrus fan so in the future i may modify this to be a berry version lime chiffon pie 250g plain sweet biscuits 125g butter melted 4 eggs separated 1 3 cup 75g caster sugar 3 teaspoons gelatine 2 teaspoons finely grated lime rind 1 3 cup 80ml lime juice 1 3 cup 80ml water 1 3 cup 75g caster sugar extra grease a deep 23cm pie dish or springform pan in a food processor process the biscuits until they are fine crumbs add the melted butter and process to combine press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base and side of your greased dish pie refrigerate for 30 minutes place the egg yolks sugar gelatine rind juice and the water into a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water whisk until the mixture thickens slightly remove from the heat and pour into a large bowl directly cover the surface of the custard with a piece of plastic wrap to stop a skin forming on top of it leave to cool beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form gradually add the extra sugar beating until the sugar dissolves in two batches fold the meringue into the custard mixture spread the filling into the crumb crust refrigerate for 3 hours leave a comment posted in uncategorized image imgp4794 leave a comment posted on january 4 2012 in uncategorized i made bread posted on december 8

it and seen how simple it actually is i am now planning my next bread adventures into the land of wholemeal and grains also i made fritters i wont post the recipe but i just wanted to remind you of the awesomeness that is fritters served with a salad as the weather heats up 1 comment posted in uncategorized tagged 30by30 bread raspberry lemonade bars posted on december 7 2011 7 comments i am not even going to make excuses for my neglect of this blog anymore sometimes life just happens for me it appears that lifeis happening a lot i made these a while back and they were a big hit perfect for those people who don t want chocolatey desserts they have just the right mixture of tart and sweetness to truly make these taste like raspberry lemonade bars highly recommended for bbqs afternoon teas

of my 30 by 30 i am meant to be making bread at least once a month so for the most recent one i decided to make blueberry cinnamon rolls because that is totally a bread you may notice something odd with these i forgot the glaze well i didn t forget i just didn t have any icing sugar and i couldn t be bothered going to get any but that s ok without the glaze it felt justifiable to me to eat these for breakfast blueberry cinnamon rolls adapted from annie s eats ingredients for the cinnamon rolls 6½ tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt 5½ tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature 1 large egg slightly beaten 1 tsp lemon zest 3½ cups bread flour 2 tsp instant rapid rise yeast 1 cup plus 2 4 tbsp whole milk or buttermilk at room temperature for the filling 3 tbsp plus 1 tsp sugar ¾ tsp ground cinnamon 1½ cups fresh blueberries for the glaze 3 cups powdered sugar 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 6 7 tbsp milk 1 tsp lemon zest directions in the bowl of an electric mixer cream together the sugar salt and butter on medium high speed until smooth mix in the egg and lemon zest until incorporated mix in the flour yeast and milk until a dough forms switch to the dough hook and knead on low speed about 8 minutes until the dough is silky and supple tacky but not sticky you may need to add a little extra flour or liquid to achieve this texture lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl turning once to coat cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for about 2 hours or until doubled in size mist a work surface with spray oil roll it out into a rectangle with a rolling pin lightly dusting the dough with flour if needed to keep it from sticking about 12 x 14 inches for larger rolls or 9 x 18 inches for smaller rolls combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix to blend sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the surface of the dough sprinkle the berries over the top evenly of the dough starting with the wide edge roll up the dough into a cigar shaped log creating a cinnamon sugar spiral as you roll pinch the seam shut and with the seam side down slice the log into your desired number of rolls transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat placing the rolls about ½ 1 inch apart cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature 75 90 minutes until the rolls have grown into each other and have nearly doubled in size at this point the rolls can also be covered and retarded in the refrigerator for up to 2 days pull the pan out of the refrigerator 3 4 hours before baking to let the dough proof preheat the oven to 175 c bake for 20 30 minutes or until golden brown let cool in the baking about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack whisk together the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and then swirl over the top of the cinnamon rolls let cool at least 15 20 minutes before serving leave a comment posted in 30by30 bread and yet more cupcakes posted on september 23 2011 leave a

really yummy although the coconut flavour wasn t too pronounced but look how shiny and vanilla chocolate is always a winner yum 1 comment posted in cupcakes old kingdom aka duck fest 2011 posted on august 12 2011 3 comments one of the items on my 30 by 30 list was to go for a duck feast with friends for 5 years we have been talking about it and not getting around to doing it enough was enough we wanted duck and we were going to eat duck so on a cold friday night we headed off for a belated birthday celebration to eat as much duck as we could handle as we sat at the table we debated whether or not we had over ordered with 3 ducks between 6 people but we shrugged it off and laughed in the face of any potential duck induced coma in fact we were so arrogant we ordered some fried wontons and rice and greens for the table what amateurs wholly unneccesary it started off wonderfully with the peking duck crispy skinned juicy albeit a little oily just as we were running out of duck and pancakes a whole new duck appeared then another in fact we had so much duck that we needed more pancakes and even more sauce in fact this was probably the only frustrating part of the night we couldn t get anyone s attention to order more sauce and pancakes meanwhile we had lovely duck just sitting there going cold after the peking duck comes the duck stir fry with bean shoots this is nice enough and the bean shoots are refreshing but nothing to rave about next came the soup oh the soup we were all so full by the time it appeared that half of us couldn t even contemplate it i personally did not like the soup as i found it really peppery and it had an odd taste ours was mostly left untouched we were all so full by the end of the evening and we felt like we wanted a shower from all the duck grease going on but it was satisfying would i go back yes but probably not for some time given that i still feel very full of duck it was actually a really well priced night with the bill coming to just over 200 for all six of us i recommend you go but just for the peking duck old kingdom 197 smith st fitzroy 3065 tel 9417 2438 3 comments posted in 30by30 restaurant review mint choc chip icecream dairy free posted on july 15 2011 1 comment it might be winter but that doesn t mean i have tired of my ice cream maker yet i have been spectacularly bad at posting the homemade icecream i have made but so far i have made strawberry vanilla cookies and cream raspberry sorbet watermelon sorbet coconut cream icecream and now mint choc chip i adapted the recipe from david lebovitz to make it dairy free having experimented with soy milks soy cooking creams and coconut milks and creams my best results have been a mixture of good soy milk bonsoy preferrably with coconut milk it allows it to be thick and creamy like real icecream but does not overwhelm the flavour of what you are making i have combined a mixture of fresh mint and peppermint essence for this icecream as we decided that however wrong it may be sometimes you just like the fake flavour oh and if you want that natural green colour add some food colouring the result was so good a creamy icecream full of flavour and i am a little ashamed to say that it did not last a week in our house mint chip ice cream for the mint ice cream 1 cup 250 ml whole or soy milk 3 4 cup 150 g sugar 2 cups 500 ml heavy cream i used coconut milk pinch of salt 2 cups packed 80 gr fresh mint leaves 5 large egg yolks a few drops of peppermint essence for the chocolate chips 5 ounces 140 gr bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chopped 1 in a medium saucepan warm the soy milk sugar 1 cup 250 ml heavy cream or coconut milk salt and mint 2 once the mixture is hot and steaming remove from heat and add the few drops of peppermint essence cover and let stand for an hour to infuse the mint flavor 3 remove the mint with a strainer then press down with a spatula firmly to extract as much mint flavor and color as possible you can also use well washed hands to do it as well making sure the mixture isn t too hot to safely handle once the flavor is squeezed out discard the mint 4 pour the remaining heavy cream or coconut milk into a large bowl and set the strainer over the top 5 rewarm the infused milk in a separate bowl whisk together the egg yolks then slowly pour some of the warm mint mixture into the yolks whisking constantly then scrape the warmed yolks back into the saucepan 6 cook the custard stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula if using an instant read thermometer it should read around 170ºf 77ºc 7 immediately strain the mixture into the cream then stir the mixture over an ice bath until cool 8 refrigerate the mixture thoroughly preferably overnight then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer s instructions while the mixture is freezing melt the chocolate in a small bowl over a pot of simmering water or in a microwave oven on low power stirring until smooth place a storage container in the freezer 9 when the ice cream in the machine is ready scribble some of the chocolate into the container then add a layer of the just churned ice cream to the container scribble melted chocolate over the top of the ice cream then quickly stir it in breaking up the chocolate into irregular pieces continue layering the ice cream scribbling more chocolate and stirring as you go when finished cover and freeze until firm 1 comment posted in cows milk free zone icecream italian sausage stew posted on july 13 2011 4 comments firstly apologies for
