Cherry & Peach Oat Crumb Bars … stoned to comfort!
If you want to be stoned to comfort this summer, you must try these delicious crumb bars! They are flexible, use stone fruit, have oats and are delicious! Great snack {and also an indulgent dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream/whipped cream and a stone fruit compote}.

Baking| Pebbly Beach Fruit Squares … charming cookies for Mothers Day!
“If you can laugh at it, you can live with it.” Erma Brombeck Happy May! There was a time when as kids we would go around shrieking May Daaaaaay May Daaaaaay on the 1st of May, giggling stupidly at the SOS call. By the time history classes began, May Day was synonymous with Labour Day, where we studied labour relations, about the ILO etc, and life began to get mundane. May’s here and the only thought that tears through my mind is ‘ALREADY?’ Are we really almost halfway through the year?Life has been a roller coaster ride of late which might sort of explain why I’ve been a bit slow…

Baking| Strawberry & Lemon Curd Shortbread
Oh the power of food, always A M A Z I N G!! I enjoyed making these. Loved the different textures, the colours, the burst of flavours from the rather buttery unsweetened shortbread to the sweet tart lemon curd, with the strawberries lending their ever promising magic to the wedges.

Mousse-a-cotta with Macs in the Air!
A deliicous experiment later, mousse-a-cotta or panna-mousse is what found its way back into these goblets. It found its way into the dwarfs tummies at express speed too! They loved the second fast track attempt, one that I added a dash of espresso to as well. Served them with sesame macarons!
