Strawberries and Cream Shortcake

November 24, 2020 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

The flavour combination of strawberries and cream always brings back nostalgic memories for me. From sprinkling freshly cut strawberries with icing sugar and a drizzle of cream, right through to lollipops of the same flavour that taste just like childhood.

Peanut Brownie Slice

April 21, 2020 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Kiwi’s love their baking, their biscuits and their slices. One of New Zealand most loved homemade favourites is the timeless Peanut Brownie. There’s no household growing up that didn’t have these nostalgic biscuit lining baking trays, filling cookie jars and lunch boxes. In fact I ran a poll on Baker Gatherer’s Facebook a while back, asking kiwi their favourite homemade biscuits from the Edmonds cookbook. The clear winner was the Peanut Brownie, so I really wanted to celebrate this home classic by creating something new and delicious.

Caramel Cornflake Brownie

August 24, 2019 By Dane McGregor 2 Comments

Brownies are one of my favourite things to bake or enjoy when I’m out and about. They can be chocolatey, stuffed or topped with endless creative possibilities. With the many options out there today, I wanted to make my own version of a fudgy brownie base, topped with a chewy cornflake filled caramel.

Chocolate Chunk Tan Square

June 28, 2019 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

After many hours on the road, traveling from Hamilton through to Gisborne as a child for school holidays or family occasions, there were always two highlights to this journey. The first was stopping to enjoy the beaches in Ohope and the second, stopping at a particular cafe in Opotiki just before we entered the Waioeka Gorge. What made this cafe so highly anticipated was their amazing tan slice that was always guaranteed to be in their glass cabinets. In fact, it was always a request to stop in Opotiki before we’d even left Hamilton.

Crème Brûlée Square

Imagine if you could take the humble kiwi custard square to the next level, add a vanilla biscuit base, amp up the smooth vanilla custard and finish off with the cracking sound of caramelised sugar on top.

Cookies and Cream Brownie

January 5, 2019 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

I still remember the first time I was introduce to the Oreo cookie (we’re talking quite some time ago now), and all I can remember is how could something so bite-sized be so delicious and morish, stopping at a couple was nearly impossible.

Banoffee Square

April 17, 2018 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

It’s International Banana Day on April 18th and I’m kicking off the celebrations with a new inspired recipe dedicated to New Zealand’s favourite fruit. In fact we Kiwis love bananas so much that, according to Statistics NZ, we get through 18kg per person per year! That’s more bananas per capita than anywhere else in the world. So for this new recipe I really wanted to celebrate the beloved banana while adding a twist to another popular kiwi slice, the custard square.…

Peanut Butter and Jam Louise Cake

January 13, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

The Louise Cake was a household staple in many kiwi homes, no doubt. There’s something nostalgic about the Louise Cake as it was something my grandmother always made. She liked to make the Louise Cake in muffin tins so that everyone had a single serve, which would save the debate about who got the larger slice.…

Cookie Dough Tiffin

September 26, 2016 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

I bet you have two thoughts, yum I love cookie dough and what the heck is a tiffin! A tiffin is cake-like slice full of chocolate, crushed biscuits and other bits and bobs. I think of it as a cross between the lolly log and a rocky-road with the bonus that it too doesn’t need to be baked. If you’ve never tried one before, then you really need to.…

Beer and Bacon Brownie

September 12, 2016 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

There has been a lot of talk recently about chocolate and beer making a surprisingly delicious team. I’ve seen this combo drawing in people for chocolate and beer pairing evenings, along with craft breweries releasing chocolate infused brews. So this got me thinking, let’s bake the two ingredients together and create something amazing. However I still felt it needed something else, so what goes with beer? Bacon!…

I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh fruit slushies and frozen cocktail this summer. It’s been a great way to cool down and also enjoy a warm evening or two with friends. Below is a recipe for an Aperol Spritz Slushie that I’ve really been enjoying recently. Super quick and easy to make, especially since the 3X Bluicer Pro from @brevilleappliancesnz not only crushes the ice and blends everything together, I can also juice fresh oranges and lemons directly into the blending jug. Perfect for summer entertaining, let me know if you try this quick Slushie recipe.

——
2 oranges
2 lemons
80ml Aperol (1/3 Cup)
125ml Prosecco (1/2 Cup)
