Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chocolate-sprinkled crème brulee

    • nadiam1000 on April 24, 2022

      I have had this book for years and i think this is the first recipe I have made. Made this a while back and it is a very good creme brulee. I added the chocolate to half since I was not sure i wanted chocolate creme brulee but the chocolate is pretty subtle the way it is executed and does not over power the custard. Instead of paper towels I used a tea towel to line the roasting pan and insulate the custards.

  • Mother's Day passionfruit pound cake

      This recipe alone was worth the price of the book! Great passionfruit flavor.

      Delicious pound cake - looks perfect with raised edges and center with a split down the middle. I used frozen passion fruit puree and the bright flavor really shines here. Nice texture as well. Baked in an 8 x 4 dark loaf pan so I reduced the temp to 325.
