Stout chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting and a Cadbury Giveaway

by jeroxie December 1, 2011

Procrastination. This sums up everything about me. I procrastinate too much. Just like this post. I am just going to blame it on all on procrastination. It has been a month since we drove from Victoria to NSW and so there are no more excuses! Plus Christmas is just round the corner so this will be a great giveaway to those that are planning to bake many many delicious chocolate treats to either giveaway or to feed the whole family and more!

Blood orange chocolate ganache tart

by jeroxie October 6, 2011

I was running out of recipes to post and had to dig deep into my drafts. I made these tarts last September. Yeap, you heard me right. More than a year ago and it is still sitting in draft. That is how out of control my drafts are. You will probably seem more of these old draft posts in the next few weeks or months until Mister and I are finally settled in Sydney and the kitchen is open for business again.

Chewy salted triple chocolate cookie

by jeroxie August 23, 2011

I found this recipe while browsing through the super awesome online food magazine, Honest Cooking. From the success of the Chai spiced carrot cupcakes that were made a couple of weeks ago, I was quite confident that this triple chocolate cookie will be pretty much spot on.

Cookbook Challenge (Celebration) – Chocolate Rocky Road

by jeroxie April 8, 2011

As much as I approve and love changes as it makes life much more interesting and challenging, I also hate it as it can make life depressing and stressful. In the last couple of months, I have been feeling pretty low. It probably does not seem so and many of my friends aren’t aware of [...]

International Incident Lavender Party – Chocolate and potato cake with Lavender ganache

by jeroxie October 24, 2010

Spring is the time of hayfever. It is the time where people like me suffer the most. I love and hate spring. It is when grey skies are replaced by light blue skies. The days get longer and we can feel warmth on our skin instead of being hidden behind layers of clothes. However, it is also when where plants start flowering and opening their eyes again.

Guest recipe – Olive Oil Chocolate Mousse

by jeroxie September 2, 2010

Olive Oil Chocolate Mousse by Shellie (Iron Chef Shellie)

The silky smooth texture and sweet notes of the Manzanillo make this eggless chocolate mousse a
delight to eat. The olive oil taste isn’t overpowering or strong, it is mellow and just brings the
chocolate and cream to life. ”

Meatless Mondays #33 – Poached pear & chocolate pizza

by jeroxie August 10, 2010

Super sweet tooth this weekend. Maybe it was the macarons that Mister brought back for me from Sydney. Can I just say that Adriano Zumbo is a genius with flavour, balance and texture. Everyone that has a piece of the precious commodity always end up saying ‘OMG! It’s so good.’ The macarons are always the first to go at his shop. If you are in Sydney, make sure you head in before the shop opens.

I was digging through the old Sydney photos and found this. This pinenut millefueille is one of the best cake ever! It looks sickening sweet but it so not. I can’t remember how many layers there are but every layer has a different flavour, different texture. Every layer is like a chapter in a book and together, they told a story. So regret not getting more!

Chocolate indulgence at The Langham, Melbourne

by jeroxie June 9, 2010

I jumped onto the chance for a Nuffnang fashion and food bloggers meet up at the Langham for a chocolate breakfast! It was quite early on a Saturday morning but I jumped out of bed even before my alarm went off. Now that is commitment to chocolate.

Langham is located in Southbank and just a hop and skip across the Yarra River from Flinders Street station. It was a rather cold and foggy winter morning and I am thankful that there is a hint of blue skies when I took this photo.

Happy 1st birthday, Jeroxie

by jeroxie June 8, 2010

I can’t believe that it has been a year since I first penned my first post – Chicken, quail egg & chorizo pie. I feel a little accomplished as I went through the dishes that I have cooked and the places that we have eaten. Of course there were failures and then there were successes. [...]

Chocolate cheesepots with black cherries compote

by jeroxie May 28, 2010

I am sure many Australians are aware who Donna Hay is. I have never really been a big fan of Donna Hay but in her recent 50th Anniversary edition, I could not help myself but to bake the chocolate cake that was on the cover. Of course, mine did not look anywhere like hers. So I said yes when Mardi of Eat.Live.Write.Travel asked me to participate in a Hay Hay it’s Donna Day event (HHDD) that was initiated by Chez Us, I had to say yes and hoping to redeem myself.

Getting chunky with Ben & Jerry’s

by jeroxie October 26, 2009

I received the cool pack from Ben & Jerry’s and it was quite funny how my colleagues reacted to it. I think I was the most popular person that day. And of course, I had to guard the communal freezer to make sure the ice cream tubs are still sealed and no one had stick their hands into the cookie jar

The Ben & Jerry’s “Rolling Cone’ Kombi is currently roaming Melbourne and giving away free ice cream. Follow it on twitter to find out where the next location is. But you have to hurry because they are leaving Melbourne after the 27th of October and heading back to Sydney.

Lindt Cafe on Collins

by jeroxie September 5, 2009

I was really thrilled to find out that Lindt was finally opening a cafe on Collins Street. The first was opened in Sydney and located in Martin Place (Cnr Phillip Street). Having missed it while I was up in Sydney, I was eager to sink my teeth into lovely chocolate pieces and cakes and see what all the fuss is about.

Chocolate Indulgence

by jeroxie June 15, 2009

Both of us ordered the classic hot chocolate a serving of churros to share. And this must be one of the thickest hot chocolate I have ever had. Just velvety richness from each sip. It was almost as thick as the little chocolate pots that we had to go with the churros. Each mouthful of chocolate-dipped crunchy yet soft churros was just heavenly. And I kept licking the chocolate and icing sugar off my fingers. Just so good!
