Bread pudding with honey and chocolate fudge topping

by jeroxie November 7, 2010

It was a spur of a moment. I had craving for bread pudding. So I bought 2 croissants home and decided to whip a very quick and easy bread pudding. I have to warn you that it is a little naughty as well. But the good thing is not no sugar is required and added leatherwood honey that I bought in Hobart. Hopefully that makes up for the naughtiness that I have added to this otherwise, simple bread pudding.

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.

KoKo Black – A Nuffnang Chocolate Meetup

by jeroxie August 24, 2010

I love meetups and meeting new people. So when it came for volunteers to help organise a Nuffnang meetup, I was probably the first to raise my hand. And it was lovely to be able to co-host this chocolate event with lovely, super adorable and talented, Violet of Violet Le Beaux.

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!

Christmas in July at The Langham Melbourne

by jeroxie August 2, 2010

I was literally running to The Langham. The tram stopped infront of Crown Casino and I ran all the way. By the time I arrived, I was puffed and ready to get into the chocolate and pudding classs. We were served beautiful canapes (which unfortunately I had no photos) with champagne. And before we headed off to our ‘Masterclass”, we were all given a set of apron and chef hat. We all had a chuckle and so wanted to have a group photo after. Alas, we forgot… What a waste! We all looked hilarious. So I compiled the photos and hopefully it gives you an idea of our happy silliness!

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. [...]

Cookbook Challenge W23 (Chocolate) – Rich chocolate chunk biscuits

by jeroxie May 3, 2010

This week we celebrate the 30th of a good old friend. We have known each other for almost a decade. I wanted to make this present a little special and so I baked some chocolate cookies as part of the present to her. So the pressure was on and as we all know – I am NO baker. I returned to my one and only baking cookbook called Baking by Anneka Manning.

I munched on pieces while chopping them into manageable pieces. (Forgetting that the recipe did require 400g of chocolate in total)

Wabi Sabi and a chocolate croissant

by jeroxie December 4, 2009

We are beginning to love Collingwood all over again. Having lived here for 4 years before, this place has changed but hasn’t? It is still gritty and somewhat ugly but it has always been full of character. But over the years, more cafes and littl restaurants have sprung up along this street. More yuppies have moved in and the face of Collingwood is changing.

Mister suggested that we headed to Collingwood for lunch as he wanted to try Goshen (Korean) and have some bibimbap. But alas, the place is closed for lunch. We went past Wabi Sabi when we visited Monsieur Truffe awhile back. This place has been around for 5 years and I am ashame to say that this is our first visit.

Chocolate heaven – Monsieur Truffe

by jeroxie October 27, 2009

Mister (Th0i3) was not fully satisfied from our lunch at Min Lokal and suggested that we checked out Monsieur truffee on Smith Street. Can I do it? A chocolate indulgence straight after lunch? I tried to convince myself that I would have just one hot chocolate.

As many cafes around here, the interior is furnished with odd pieces of furniture, decoratives and beaded curtains. And I do adore the paper origami chairs. They had little plates of tasting chocolate bits and I tried them all. They were so good! You should be there to see the big grin on my face. Heavenly!

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!
