My goodness, I’ve eaten a lot of these in my lifetime. I mean, a lot. I love them. And now I know how to make them, this could be a little dangerous! Ingredients 3/4 cup plain flour 1/3 desiccated coconut 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 90g melted butter 395g can sweetened condensed milk 60…
There will be no recipe today. This turkish delight making experience is being mentioned purely for the sake of posterity and accountability, but rest assured in every other sense it is being struck from the record. All memories shall be suppressed. I mean, look at it. This doesn’t even look like turkish delight, does…
I loved Strawberry Shortcake – the cartoon character – when I was little, and even think I’ve eaten the real deal (the cake, not a plastic figurine) once. But I’ve never made it.

This is another recipe along the lines of the whoopie pies from last week – jumping on the bandwagon, so to speak, and I’m looking straight at Adriano Zumbo to blame here – although there’s a slight difference in this case as I have eaten many macarons in my time and none of them, none of them,…
Whoopie pies have become something of a flash fad in the baking world this past year and I’ve looked at them from a distance, considering if I’d like them or not. Seeing they look like an unfrozen icecream sandwich I thought ‘Yes, I’m sure they are tasty but can I be bothered making them?’ Then…
