“You have to try the one where you go from one end to the other with ice cream and chocolate cake”

Dessert at Parlour
Belgian chocolate fondant with caramel ice cream & guirlache $15

Unfortunately, I couldn’t eat it (on any of the desserts on the menu in their creamy goodness!), and settled on a glass or two of the dessert wine… I’m told it was divine, hey Rish?

(and Matt rolled his eyes at my foot photo-ing. pfft! :p)

Stewed Rhubarb

August 2, 2009 · 0 comments

Rhubarb

12 stalks of rhubarb
juice and grated zest of one lemon
2 tablespoons orange juice (fresh or bottled is fine)
Tablespoon sugar (the recipe reckons artificial sweetener, like Splenda, but I don’t have any, and don’t think it’s worth it!)
Teaspoon ground cinnamon
Teaspoon vanilla essence

Put into a pot on low heat. stir stir stir for about 10 minutes until you get a delicious mush. I don’t like it stalky, prefer it close to the one consistency. You will end up with a few lumpy bits.

Serve with Greek yoghurt. Which I shouldn’t have, but I did anyway. I wonder is a little honey would be nice on top?

(Recipe is slightly modified from the one in the CSIRO Total WellbeingCookbook)
