Blueberries are right in season up here in northern NSW.
This one is invented by my sister.
Mulberries are right in season up here, and like most foods with that deep colour, they’re full of antioxidants and phyto-nutrients.
These little tarts use a strong egg custard to encase the mulberries and give them enough lunch box stamina.
This recipe melds the last of the citrus season with the start of the egg season. It is a flourless cake with no butter but no less than six eggs.
This is one of the all time most popular recipes on Witches Kitchen, and one of my favourites too.
This week’s Muesli Bar Challenge recipe features oranges. It is coming to the end of the navel orange season, and once they finish there will be a gap of a few months until the beginning of the Valencia season.
I am on a bit of a roll with the mandarin, ricotta and honey flavours. Plus mandarins are getting towards the end of their season so I’m eager to make the most of them. This one is, like last week’s cake, super easy. The flavours are similar -this one is a bit stronger flavoured – but the texture is quite different, more like a cheesecake.
Wow. I’m over half way through the school year, and I haven’t lost a Muesli Bar Challenge yet. Even I’m surprised. I expected at some stage to push the low-fat, low-sugar bar just a bit too low!
Blondies are like brownies, almost like semi-set cake mix. But for a lunch box they need a bit of robustness. So these are cakey, brownie texture, but stay intact till little lunch.
