A Mulberry Inspiration

 

 

Browsing through my local fruit market I found beautiful fresh mulberries ready to be scooped up and taken home. I new there was brioche stashed away in my freezer, so I grabbed some creamy ricotta on my way, Inspiration had taken hold, Mulberries + brioche + ricotta =French toast! 

 

 First to defrost the brioche while mixing up an egg, a cup of milk, vanilla extract and sugar to taste.
 

Next to melt a dollop of butter and fry the eggy brioche till golden...

 

 

Now comes my mulberries lightly tossed in vanilla sugar and ricotta flavoured with orange zest, vanilla extract and sugar.

 

 

Ahh..the mulberries burst in my mouth and tasted wonderful on warm buttery french toast spread with ricotta. Can't wait to see what's at the markets next week, although I still have mulberries left over I wonder what else I can whip up.

 

Try this for brunch on the weekend with the seasonal fruit from your local markets and let me know what you create xx

Pat and Stick's Ice Cream Sandwich!!!

I devoured a Caramel Pecan one & my sis had the Peppermint Choc-Chip, the biscuits were nice & crunchy and the ice cream packed full of natural flavours.

And then I found this stall.....Sweetness The Patisserie

One large bowl of assorted Sweet Mallows, bags of mallows, sweet mallow sandwiches, blocks of mallows...

Whoopie Pies with Vanilla Bean Mallow filling, slabs of Nougat, Caramel Popcorn, Chocolate dipped Orange slices, Sweet Rocky Road, mini Macarons, G.F Fudge and Chocolate Coated Caramels to name a few.

 

 I bought a mixed bag to take home that included, Sweet Raspberry Mallows, a Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, White Chocolate Rocky Road and I think a Chocolate Raspberry Cake Pop?

Taste of Sydney 2012, had various food & wine stalls, producers markets, pop-up restaurants, and cooking demonstrations, but for me discovering Sweetness The Patisserie made my day.
