    • Holiday Spice Fruit Mince Tassies

      This recipe is an homage to my Mom as she loves mincemeat. Everyone knows how I love mini sweets, so when I saw this recipe in Donna Hay it definitely spoke to me. I found the original recipe interesting but I tweaked the recipe quite a bit by adding in additional flavors such as Holiday inspired spices and a bit…

    • Gingerbread Men Cookies

      I don’t know why but I’m not one to start early on making Christmas cookies.

One of the other reasons I loved Easter was looking at all the beautiful hats on…

    • Vacherins with Raspberry Curd and Chantilly Cream

      For some reason I was in the mood to make vacherins, so I made them heart shaped for Valentines Day. The meringues are a good vehicle to house raspberry curd and whipped cream.
