Food for me

My dear old Dada treated me to a lovely free range and gluten free break(fast) May I say Food for me in East Victoria Park HERE is a fabulous little eatery for the gluten free inclined. It was quite a  lovely little  morning and was enjoyed by Dad, Justine, Tobias and we ate yummy sausage, eggs and gluten free bread. Oh! I forgot Mr Earl Grey did accompany me too... Meals with people you love always seem to make the meal/eatery a lot more memorable and lovely.

Kitchenaid, brownie cake & Duende

The fourteenth of March marks the day I was born. I do get pretty excited for my birthday as My mumma and dad always made us feel super special on our birthday, not to mention I share it with the one and only Talyor Hanson of MMMbop fame.

So my first birthday surprise was from my man, he bought me a lovely kitchenaid! I was so excited it was like Taylor Hanson had walked into our house I jumped and screamed like a 10 year. So feeling still very giddy and smitten I decided to make myself a Brownie Happy Birthday cake with my new baby blue magic machine! This is the finished product, it was amazing in my completely bias opinion.

My second surprise was my mumma taking me out to the most amazing eatery. Its a little cute place called Duende and they have such a wonderful gluten free menu. Its not one of those places that says their gluten free friendly and then has one thing on the menu thats gluten free or says something you choose is gluten free and you spend the rest if the night feeling like death because it wasn't! 

The menu had so much tapas and mains to have all gluten free. We choose around 5 dishes potatoe bravas, beetroot and goats cheese salad, chilli squid and chorizo and beef cheek and polenta. My favourite dish was beef cheek and polenta it was so amazing I just kept wanting more and more my mum found it funny I was so excited by the beef and polenta. Accompanied with some yummy Sangria made our dinner so enjoyable. Our last dish was so delish a raspberry pannacotta with yoghurt sorbet, warning if you enjoy super creamy splendid delights order this dessert it was sooo fantastic. 

Aside from the fabulous food the atmosphere was so cute, it was very Melbourne lots of cool furniture, candles, art, super smooth music & great waiters. I don't know if it was the fine food or very spanish sangria but I didn't really want to leave and left feeling like we'd just spend an evening in my own version on Willy Wonka's chocolate  gluten free factory.

All the photos I took of the food just didn't do it justice as the lighting was so romantic but the photos of how it felt looking around looked pretty lovely.

So I'd recommend this little place to anyone who is Gluten Free and totally in love with melbourne, fine  food, good service and if you get giddy over/on Sangria

I am home sick and stuck in one place  so I thought I'd take some time to blog. I realised I hadn't blogged since February... Bit lazy. So I'm going to catch up on the last two months which have been busy. My birthday, dear friends getting married, Easter, Girls nights, last goodbyes to summer and family dinners.

So let the blogging begin!

Bon a petit!

Early on Monday morning my Mumma and I strolled into a very sleepy Leederville to Giardini's a cute little eatery. We sat down and to my delight they served Gluten free french toast yes! French toast!! Which was so good I have been craving french toast for awhile. So if you are in the mood for an especially sweet breakfast with one of your favourites I'd suggest Giardini's they are always so accommodating with gluten free and always so friendly!
Take a look at them next time you're in Leederville or here

I love a good Frenchie

Hi Hi!

So firstly I'd like to say sorry for being so absent but don't worry I have many gluten free treasures to share.

Now I know it's already Feb... but my talented Mumma made christmas very yummy and I thought I'd share how she made gluten free heaven. Banoffe pie, quiche, banana bread, brownies and stuffed potatoes.... my mum was at the hospital with my sister christmas eve so she made Gluten Free Christmas Breakfast a.k.a Gluten free Heaven from 3 am Christmas Morning for 7. God she's so good and yes it was delish.... she has become the gluten free queen I tell ya, she made it all from scratch!!!. I'm going to have to get her to write a Gluten free recipe book. Please let your mouth water and tummy grumble as you look at these delish treats. Yes it was a Happy Holiday at the Di Mambro/Humphreys household.

I did put on a lot of weight during the Holidays thanks Mumma :)

I dream of Nigella......

The fellow and I were invited by my dear Daddy and his beautiful wife Justine's to dine on Sunday night. Justine made a wonderful gluten free quiche for us and dad asked if I'd kindly make a dessert, my instructions were to make on of my favourites! Come on Dad, I'm a sweet tooth I have an insane amount of favourites... I settled for my favourite Nigella dessert chocolate pear pudding, when I say settled it's not really settling it's AMAZING!!!. So easy and so yummy, I used peaches as I thought they'd give the warm summer night a little extra sweetness. 

How lovely does it look yes!

Ingredients-

2 cans of pears in juice (you can add your favourite fruit)

125g plain gluten free flour

25g cocoa powder

125g caster sugar

150g butter, plus extra for greasing

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

*Handy hint- I always add a tablespoon of olive oil and some of the juice from the fruit as the gluten free flour needs more wet ingredients.

Method-

Serves:6-8

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and grease a 22cm square ovenproof dish with butter.

2. Drain the pears and arrange them on the base of the dish.

3. Mix all remaining ingredients into a batter, with the gluten free mix I was get as much air into the mixture to make sure it's as fluffy as possible.

4. Spread the batter over the pears, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes (depending on oven)

5. Let the pudding cool for 5 or 10 minutes and cut into slabs. I like to serve with thickened cream.

It's pretty easy to do, so delish and one of my favourite desserts. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I must say I really do heart Nigella.

I love Nigella have a little looksee at her website Here! She's brilliant
