Easter in September at Wisemans Ferry, NSW

Billy — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:27:42 +0000

The Easter bunny is here… Wot the? Totally random I know, and you definitely do not want to bump into this creepy bunny holding a knife, waving at you in the woods. I love how my friends are just as random as me. In July, we invited a few friends to celebrate Christmas in July [...]

Get your jelly on #28 – Black & Gold

Billy — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:34:23 +0000

Day 28. For those who has watched MasterChef Australia this season, I think I should clarify why suddenly Michael Weldon dropped the bombshell and called me the ‘Dessert Queen’ during the Westfield challenge. It was actually an inside joke that had been carried on for quite some time in the Masterchef house and actually started [...]

Get your jelly on #24 – To Die For

Billy — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 22:25:26 +0000

Day 24. A Halloween inspired dessert. Gee ghouly gosh! Time flies when you are busy or having too much fun making jellies for the Royal Selangor 30-day ‘Get your jelly on’ Challenge. There are only six more days to go before this challenge is over. It is rather bittersweet, but at the same time I [...]

Get your jelly on #17 – ROCKY MOUNTAIN

Billy — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:30:52 +0000

Day 17. Ain’t no mountain high enough. Good to be back in Sydney! Peter and I have just finished a 4-day cooking show in Perth at Coles supermarket and we had an absolute ball! At times it felt like we were still on Masterchef, fighting over prepping benches and stealing each other ingredients, but most [...]

Billy’s ‘Best In Show’ Rocky Road

Billy — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:25:38 +0000

Rock your socks off! The kids on Junior MasterChef finally had to face their first taste test, and it was a big chunk of Rocky Road! I could just see how much fun it would be gnawing down the big chunk of chocolate trying to find 20 ingredients hidden inside. It brings back a lot [...]

Get your jelly on #07 – MADONNA

Billy — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 22:29:27 +0000

Day 7. Guess who’s birthday it is today? Most people I’ve shown the Royal Selangor Nick Munro jelly mould to will immediately associated with Madonna. (I wonder why?) And when I asked The Pom for jelly ideas, he had a play with them and naturally cupped them on his chest. ~*palmed face*~ Besides, this 30-day [...]

Get your jelly on #04 – JAFFAS

Billy — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:40:53 +0000

Day 4. Go hard or go home! I have jellies, I have pudding, how about a “cake”? By the way, before I get into the fun bit, I think is important for me to remind you all that October is Nation Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are so much you can do to support, buy [...]

Deadly Chocolate Délice

Billy — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 23:22:25 +0000

Only 10 minutes to go… It is my turn to plate up the dessert, I instantly knew I was in trouble. My chocolate delice in the fridge had not set yet! Peter looked at me, he wasn’t happy! (Cue that heavy background violin shriek with a heavy thump at the end and follow by the [...]

FONDANT AU CHOCOLATE, PASSIONFRUIT BUTTERCREAM MACARON WITH SWEET CORN ICE CREAM

Billy — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 06:10:21 +0000

Sweet corn ice cream or ice block to be exact, is one of my childhood favourites. Sweet corn ice cream is not that unusual really, they are widely available at the supermarkets and night markets in South East Asia countries and a very popular cheap snack to beat the tropical heat. Corns are cheap in [...]

Fondant Au Chocolat

Billy — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:28:11 +0000

Death by chocolate. You know that question, “What will be your last meal before you die?” I always find it fascinating where different people have different answers and usually the meal is related back to the childhood, or something they are really craving for right there and then. I actually don’t know what my last [...]
