Kate's Crazy Culinary Creations

This is the perfect quick dessert that everyone is sure to love and ask for the recipe. I love chocolate as you know and when I saw this recipe I thought I should give it a try. Brownies are something that I love but had never made myself so here goes. Preheat your oven to 190 Degrees Celsius. Line a 25cm square and 5cm deep baking tray with baking paper for later. In a medium sized saucepan gently melt 150 grams of butter. When it is melted add 300 grams of brown sugar to the pan. Stir with a wooden spoon reducing the heat to low. Quickly whilst the butter and sugar are combining, sift together in a mixing bowl 75 grams of Cocoa powder, 150 grams of plain flour, 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt. Add the dry ingredents to the saucepan and stir to combine with the butter mixture. (You won't be able to combine the mixture completely at this stage as it is still to dry.) Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside. Now whisk together 4 eggs in a jug wi...

I love chocolate. But being lactose intolerant it has to be very tempting for me to sacrifice a lacteeze tablet. When I saw this recipe I knew it would be worth it. It is a recipe by Nigella Lawson and she sure doesn't hold back with this recipe. It is a pretty basic recipe with minimal clean up. (Always a plus.) Line the base of a 25 cm springform tin with foil. In a heavy based saucepan place 200 grams of Dark Chocolate(broken in their cubes), 100 grams of Milk Chocolate(broken in their cubes), 125 grams of butter (cut into 2cm cube) and 3 tablespoons of golden syrup. Put the saucepan over a low heat on the hot plate. Melt the ingredients together stirring as required to avoid it burning on the bottom. Whilst the chocolate is melting in another bowl measure out 250 grams of salted peanuts and crumble three 50 grams crunchies. Once the chocolate has melted mix it through the peanut and crunchy mixture. Pour the mixture into the springform tin and refrigerate for 4 hours. O...

I haven’t posted over the past few weeks, I have been busy with Football finals (GO HAWKS) and other commitments consuming my weekends. Also the camera on my phone has also stopped working, so sadly no photos for today’s post. You will have to take my word for it that the result was worth the work. I have become a fan of lamb recently. I don’t eat pork as a general rule, so I have limited options when I eat out. I am now starting to appreciate lamb and thought that I would give Lamb Souvlaki’s a go. Firstly I bought a half leg of lamb. (You could use a full leg if you have more people, a half leg is enough for about 6 souvlaki’s.) I butterflied the piece of lamb. I could try to explain to you how I did it but it is easier if you YouTube it. There are heaps of videos of how to do it. I cut mine so once it was rolled out it was about 40cm long and 5cm thick. Once rolled out you need to cut approximately 6 cuts 10 cm long and half of the thickness of the lamb. Slice 4 garlic cloves t...
