Baked Apples “Baklava”

By Peter G • Jun 3rd, 2009 • Category: Greek Food, Recipes

Apples are everywhere at the moment.  I spotted these beautiful “Golden Delicious” variety the other week and knew I wanted to play around with them as soon as I got them home.  I was planning a dinner party and I wanted to present a low fat option for dessert.  Something sweet enough that wasn’t too [...]



Greek Yoghurt Panna Cotta with Poached Prunes

By Peter G • May 28th, 2009 • Category: Recipes

It’s been a few weeks!  But I’m here today and ready to showcase a wonderful and simple dessert I prepared a little while back.  With all the rain and grey skies present I thought I would cheer up my mood (and my friends) with something “pretty in pink”.   Nothing wrong with admitting you like pink, [...]



Wonderful Watermelon Salad

By Peter G • Mar 30th, 2009 • Category: Greek Food, Recipes

This post is probably a few months too late…sort of.  I actually had planned on blogging about this earlier, but I have been on a very busy schedule that I totally forgot about this recipe.  This is a very quick and tasty salad made with watermelon that is at its sweetest.  I actually saw a [...]



Blackberry Jam

By Peter G • Jan 21st, 2009 • Category: Recipes

Sorry but this is another “summer fruit” post!  I’ve had this in my backlog of recipes and I really wanted to share it with you.  I promise there will be some savoury stuff soon.  What I like about this recipe is how easy and quick it is.  Because I’ve been going mad buying all sorts [...]



Blueberry Pikelets

By Peter G • Jan 17th, 2009 • Category: Recipes

When I woke up this morning I was in the mood for pancakes.  Drizzled with a load of maple syrup and lashings of creamed butter.  Then I remembered I was trying to be “good”.  I played around with the concept and decided to make pikelets.  Pikelets are plumper than pancakes, made using a thick batter.  [...]



Summer Galette

By Peter G • Jan 5th, 2009 • Category: Recipes

I hope everyone saw the new year in well.  Mine was a little quiet spent celebrating with friends, eating and drinking a few bottles of champagne.  Sydney put on it’s usual fireworks display spending up to $5 million for the spectacle.  Anyway, I’ve been visiting a few of my regular blogs and been reading a [...]



Blueberry Cream Pies and Strawberry Lemonade

By Peter G • Dec 12th, 2008 • Category: Recipes

Best Friend:  Don’t forget the kid’s Xmas party on Sat…remember you said you were going to make something “festive”
Me: Sure..not a problem (hmm…what on earth is she on about?)
Best friend: and don’t overdo the sugar!
Me: Yeah..ok (so I suppose red cordial is out of the question!)
So I find myself committed to helping out at a [...]



Summer Fruits

By Peter G • Dec 5th, 2008 • Category: Recipes

I’ve been a little absent from blogging lately.  I’ve been trying to sort out some issues in regards to my travel arrangements.  Let’s just say it’s a good idea to have more than 6 months validity left on your passport when you travel!!! Anyway, I won’t bore you with that.  I want to talk about [...]



Tea Cake with a Sticky Tangelo Syrup

By Peter G • Aug 20th, 2008 • Category: Recipes

Aaaah!  I gave in!  After eating enough tangelos to last me a life time, I still had many leftover.  There they were, on the counter, staring at me in their big brown bowl.  I tend not to bake very much as I usually prefer savoury dishes over sweet ones.  I didn’t want to complicate things [...]



Tangelos

By Peter G • Aug 18th, 2008 • Category: Recipes

I take my citrus seriously.  Seriously!  My latest farmers market haul included the usual winter goodies of oranges, lemons and tangelos.  It had been ages since I had eaten tangelos and I really wanted to share my experience with them with you. They’re a cross between an orange and a grapefruit, full of juicy goodness.  [...]
