Caramelised Beetroot Tart Tatin

Caramelised Beetroot Tart Tatin

Beetroot must be on of my favourite root vegetable. I used to know only one recipe with beetroot, that is, the Ethiopian Potato, Beetroot, Tomato, Red Onion Salad.

DSCF3403

This is no ordinary clarified butter everyone. It is aromatic and turns anything into delicious and irresistible meal. Traditionally it should have 2 ingredients that I couldn’t find here in Australia. And if anyone of my Ethiopian fellows knows where I can buy them in Perth, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

Crêpe Suzette

Crêpe Suzette

If I have to choose a dish that was the highlight of everything we prepared in Term 2 it would be the Crêpe Suzette. It is very hard to find it on the menu in restaurants these days. Which in my opinion is a shame! I really think it is a great dessert and the idea

Rosemary and Fig Bread

Rosemary and Fig Bread

Venice is a beautiful city and Venetians are so friendly. I must say compared to all the Italian cities I have visited, this city is at the top of the list. We arrived at around 9:40 in the morning. And the magic began right after the train left Mestre Station, suddenly you pass from land
