Strawberry, Ginger & Coconut Rice Pudding
Words and images by Emma Galloway I’ve always been a fan of rice pudding, and this creamy dairy-free version is my go-to for comforting decadence. I’ve flavoured the rice with ginger, but if that’s not your thing, simply leave it out and add a splash more vanilla. The strawberry compote can be made up to […]

Roasted Black Doris Plum, Cinnamon Waffles and Dukkha Praline
Recipe Harriet Boucher, Images Ashlee Decaires One way to win over mum is to whip these up for a breakfast-in-bed treat! You can make the plums well in advance if they are bountiful. Warm them up before serving if they aren’t fresh out of the oven. The dukkha praline adds a nutty, sweet but savoury […]

Recipes and Images By Kathy Paterson My go-to pudding if I need one in a hurry and you can vary the fruit to fit the season. Make an egg wash by lightly whisking just the yolk and a teaspoon of cold water together—this gives a gorgeous, dark honey colour to your cooked pastry. Serves […]
Roasted Feijoa and Lime Shortcake
Recipe and Images by Kathy Paterson Roasted Feijoas Try roasting feijoas, it’s a great way to preserve them for a few days. If you are using roasted feijoas for the shortcake recipe, then finely grate the zest of the lime before juicing. 12 large feijoas, halved, flesh scooped out with a teaspoon juice of […]
Blackberry & Apple Crumble Cake
Recipe Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images Brydie Thompson Blackberries and new season apples are a wonderful combination. If you can’t find Granny Smith apples, opt for a tarter variety than the modern sweet apples. This cake is a delicious afternoon treat served with a dollop of cream but equally delicious for dessert with a scoop of vanilla […]
Battle of the Basque
Words Harriet Boucher Images Ashlee DeCaires For round 2 of Harriet’s How To, I have dived into the world of the Basque ‘burnt’ cheesecake. Basque cheesecake is a crust-less, Spanish cheesecake that has a rich, creamy centre and a caramelised top, often giving off a burnt look. It is traditionally served at room temperature, often […]
