Lemon and Coconut Bars
I just discovered (and bought) a beautiful vegetarian cook book called “The Cake the Buddha Ate”! I LOVE it! And not surprising it came out of KwaZulu Natal’s very own Buddhist Retreat Centre, which I have been lucky enough to visit many years ago with one of my special friends, Amanda. So this recipe has…

Condensed Milk Tart
I tasted this at our dinner club the other night and my oh my it was a conversation-silencer…until we all interjected with questions of how it was made! “Is that it, just yoghurt, condensed milk and a biscuit base? Seriously?” was the prominent question. Said with an incredulous expression of course. So yes, it really…
Strawberry and Banana Custard
Okay before you read the recipe, read this: Don’t be put off by the number of eggs. I’m not a huge fan of eggs but in this dessert you cannot even taste the eggs (well that’s what I thought anyway and usually I can always taste the eggs!). One of the best desserts I have…
Nutella Banana Bread
Take Nutella and Banana Bread Batter, mix them together and voila! You get heaven in a loaf. When I made this, my kids and hubby polished it off within 48 hours. Actually, no, it was less than that! And then my hubby insisted I not make it again, for it was far too wickedly delicious….
