I’d never made truffles before but it turns out that they’re basically just balls of ganache that has been half-set and rolled up and they took all of a few minutes to make (plus setting time). You can basically make them any flavor by adding ingredients to the cream too.
Had a little pause there for a month but I’m back with a brand new menu for the almost-summer. Pretty simple stuff as I ease out of having company for almost two weeks and eating a lot of meals out but hopefully next week I’ll be back in good form.

This Victoria Sponge Cake recipe is so easy to make gives absolutely delicious results. It’s butter and not too dry and delicious with a healthy heap of cream.
This cake was super soft with a delicious layer of lemon curd and a topping of not too sweet frosting. You can make lemon curd from scratch if you’re up to that task but I just buy mine in a jar (no judgement).
I absolutely adore these. They’re pretty simple to make and you can use real lump crab, canned crab or surimi (krabstick) to make them. Personally I usually use surimi because it’s cheap and easy. These can be eaten plain but they also go well with a variety of dipping sauces and you can make them ahead of time and freeze them for an easy lunch or dinner.
