Nigella’s Chocolate Nut Bar

January 30, 2012 Recipes

Normally, when I go to a lunch or dinner at a friend’s house I take some chocolate brownies. But it has been so hot here in Adelaide that there was no way I was putting on the oven. No way at all. I don’t really do a lot of no-bake desserts so I was at [...]

Baked Chocolate Mousse

May 20, 2011 Recipes

Chocolate Brownies

March 15, 2011 Recipes

I’m lucky that, at present, I have more time for cooking (and thinking about food) than I would do normally. This means that most of our evening meals have become more interesting and more diverse.
