Balsamic glazed Strawberries

Balsamic glazed Strawberries 


Assessment is the nemesis of all students and I am no exception. All the stress makes me crave for some strawberries over yummy ice cream. 

This is a way to jazz up your strawberries with something really simple like balsamic vingear. The best way to eat these, over some vanilla ice cream, over cream. ooh over cream is my personal favourite.  

Balsamic Glazed Strawberries 

12 large ripe strawberries
4 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoon of sugar
Any amount of ice cream that you might need 

Trim strawberries and cut into wedges. 
In a small heavy saucepan heat vinegar and sugar over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and simmer 1 minute. 
Remove pan from heat and add strawberries, tossing to coat.
Scoop ice cream into 2 bowls and top with warm glazed strawberries.

Fruity Ice Tea

Fruity Ice Tea

Although in Sydney autmun is supposed to be here, it still feels like summer with days 31c (88F). 

I love fruit ice tea, it's fruity, it's refreshing , it's summer. What's not to love ! 

I use plenty of frozen raspberry and skip the ice, cause who loves a dilated ice tea and frozen raspberry is available all year round. 

The world is your oyster when it comes to fruity ice tea, mix and match to your hearts desire. Mint or basil would add a nice touch to your ice tea too. 

Normally, to make iced tea you'll need to boil a liter of water and wait a long time for it to cool before you can drink your homemade iced tea. But here's a recipe for real iced tea that you can drink immediately, whether you like green or any other tea.

Fruity Ice Tea

For Basic Ice tea 

• 4 teabags of your favourite tea (I use black tea, but green tea would taste great too)

  200 ml (7.76 fl oz) hot, boiled water 

  Ice Cubes

  Sugar or honey to taste

  Handful of frozen raspberry

Wontonly preview

Wonton

Because it's a rainy day, because I miss eating wonton, because I miss home. 

A little preview before I cook these babies over the week. These wontons freeze really well so you can make a big batch which can be kept up to 6 months, but these babies never really last that long in my house. The recipe for these will be up soon. 

Spaghetti Boscaiola

Spaghetti Boscaiola

I have read so many good food blogs lately, and decided to make one myself. The name reflects how I feel all the time after a good meal or desert. My favourite food is bacon, mushrooms and chocolate, I firmly believe that any recipe is better with either one added.


This is one of my favourite go-to-recipes for my quick night meal, which includes both mushrooms and bacon. When you are home from a long day of work and you want something warm, comforting and familiar.

Spaghetti Boscaiola

5 rashers of bacon, thinly sliced
40g of butter
400g swiss mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 green shallots, thinly sliced
425ml (1 3/4 cups) pouring cream
handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
30g (1/3 cup) shredded parmesan, to serve



Boil some water and season the water generously and cook pasta following the packet directions until al dente.

Place the bacon into a cold pan and turn the heat to medium high.

Let the bacon fat render out and become crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon (remove some bacon fat if you prefer less oily)

Melt the butter in the same pan. Sauté the mushrooms , season with salt and pepper. Add shallots and bacon, stir to mix.

Stir in cream, season and simmer for 5mins or until sauce is reduced  slightly.

Drain the pasta and return to hot pan. Pour over the sauce and add parsley, toss til combined. Served with parmesan cheese.
