Roasted Strawberry Almond Crumble {gf/df}

February 1, 2016

With all the fresh fruit in season throughout summer, it would be fair to say I’ve been a little overwhelmed… what to cook, what to share, what to feature on the blog? Cherries, peaches, or plums? Apricots, mango, or strawberries? Yes, how about strawberries? Strawberries are awesome, not least because you can get them year round.…

Sweet Spiced Apricot & Yoghurt Icy Poles

January 13, 2016

Hard to believe, but it will be Sweet Tucker‘s 10th birthday in July this year! At first this space was designed to be a travel log, then an online journal, and now finally a recipe blog. In the first few years of posting recipes, I would sometimes only make things once before taking photos and uploading them.…

Black Forest Brownies {with gf option}

November 4, 2015

Here it is, at last – the perfect Chocolate and Morello Cherry Brownie recipe! It has taken me months to get this recipe just right! Ever since Dad’s 70th I’ve been on a quest for the perfect black forest brownies … all because my father’s favourite cake is Black Forest Cake. Chocolate-y, creamy and boozy,…

Pear & Rhubarb Almond Crumble {gf}

June 28, 2015

The sky is low, the clouds are mean, A travelling flake of snow Across a barn or through a rut Debates if it will go. A narrow wind complains all day How someone treated him; Nature, like us, is sometimes caught Without her diadem. The Sky is Low, The Clouds are Mean by Emily Dickinson…

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

June 20, 2015

Hi, I’m Alison and I’m a peanut butter addict. I don’t quite recall when this started, but it’s become a jar-a-week habit. Not only do I eat it on toast for breakfast, I often have it on my sandwich for lunch, and eat it straight out of the jar during the mid-afternoon slump. If it…

Essie’s Cobbler

April 10, 2015

It’s official; summer’s over (cue sad face). And with the cold stretch of wintry weather we’ve had this past week, all I’ve wanted to do is to hibernate: stay inside where it’s warm, beside the heater. No, make that the oven. Because what better way to use one’s hibernation than to make a warming dessert?…

Raspberry & Coconut Icy Poles

February 21, 2015

I made my first ever batch of homemade coconut ice cream the other day. It was creamy, sweet and refreshing, but I couldn’t help wondering why it tasted so familiar. Then I remembered. My mother had made coconut ice cream regularly when we were children, growing up in the steamy tropical lowlands of Papua New…

I know, I know… it’s high time I got around to sharing some Christmas baking on this site, and believe me, I have some goodies in mind… i.e. a recipe from Karen’s newly published cookbook… but first up, let’s have some fun with this quick and easy dessert. Seen first on my Instagram feed, a…

Baked Pumpkin Coconut Custard {dairy-free}

November 6, 2014

Although I was once a dedicated pumpkin-hater, it turns out that this vegetable has become quite the staple here in this house since the boy started on solids a year ago. It was so easy to boil up half a pumpkin, mash it and then fill ice block trays to store in the freezer for…

Lemon Blueberry Polenta Cake in a Mug

October 24, 2014

Spring has sprung!! The sun is out (most days) and the trees are blossoming. The birds are nesting, and all’s right with the world. Amazing, isn’t it, how the mood lifts when the sun is shining?! It does with me, and I know I’m not the only one. It’s even been warm enough to visit…

Peach Kuchen {gluten-free, dairy-free and fructose-friendly}

March 10, 2014

Bounty ripening on the tree. Fruit theif! He likes his fruit fresh. I like mine baked into a dessert. Flour, butter, sugar makes a crust. Peaches are arranged on pastry. Messy but good! Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and sugar! Bake until bubbling and gooey. Yoghurt and egg make a custard to cover the fruit. Bake till…

Apricot Lassi Icy Poles

January 26, 2014

Everyone seems to be making Mango Lassi popsicles. And why not? Mango Lassi are sweet, creamy and incredibly delicious! I know, because I had one of the very best when in Darwin on our ‘babymoon’ eighteen months ago. As tourists, we of course had to visit the Mindil Beach markets on a Thursday evening, and…
