Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Carrot cake

    • e_ballad on October 27, 2018

      Burnt beyond redemption 30 mins in using the specified 200oC. Might try again using 180oC.

  • Oat and barberry biscuits

    • e_ballad on August 09, 2019

      Tasty, but be warned: they spread a LOT. On a large baking tray (40x30cm), the five biscuits still spread into each other. The barberries make these very moreish.

  • Shortbread with macadamias

    • e_ballad on August 22, 2019

      Very simple & very moreish. This recipe is also found in the authors’ cookbook “Bourke Street Bakery” as ‘Macadamia shortbread’.

  • Chocolate sour cherry cookies

    • e_ballad on October 01, 2020

      Excellent. Made into 55g portions. Dried cranberries would be a great substitution if you can’t get a hold of dried sour cherries.

  • Ginger brûlée tarts

    • e_ballad on November 06, 2017

      THE brûlée tarts that impressed Yotam Ottolenghi as mentioned in 'Sweet'. Despite the time it takes for these to be put together, the effort is totally worth it! Dangerously moreish.
