I keep a few of those tubs in the fridge too, Nef. Sometimes the small chocolate mousse tubs too.

I have a busy life and don't have time to go to tons of trouble nightly to prepare dinner and dessert for 3 people so I tend to go for tasty, quick and easy. As long as it is tasty that is all that matters but I will spend more time on weekends making more fiddly and unusual things.

What kind of desserts do you like Cods? Do you like to fiddle and go to a lot of trouble or do you like quick and easy?

I used to make a diabetic chocolate mousse with dark chocolate and honey yoghurt. It was creamy and nice and healthy too!

I saw Hester Blumenthal make a chocolate mousse on Masterchef last year with just dark chocolate whisked with water, of all things! An odd combination that you wouldn't think would work but they raved about it.

I dont have a really sweet tooth.. I am more of a chippee fiend to be honest... but I have to admit I prefer the home cooked stuff to what we buy...but I usually make for others like rhubarb and apple crumble.. have a nice recipe for that.. and cheescake of course have a son who always orders one of those...sticky date...have a grandoson who will not eat fruit in any shape or form.. so have to make something he will eat ... everything low cal of course...lolol..I make Chirstmas pud every year as well..and usually mince pies depends on the mood..

all fat and not too healthy..when I think of the things my mum used to make and I never got the recipes for.. arhhhhhhhhhhh mum made a nice baked rice pud... havent been able to make one like ever....it didnt have eggs in it like they do now...and funny thing I dont recall her having a recipe book either. of course I was here when she died so I had no access to anything..

As a child I remember my grand mother making rice with fruit salad and ice cream, I loved it. I never really ate rice as a savory dish until I was much older.

My wife is making some Portuguese tarts on the weekend. They're supposed to be easy ones out of Jamie Olivers thirty minute meals cookbook that she picked up last week.
If they taste ok, and do only take thirty minutes, I will share the recipe.

Please do. I adore a good Portugese tart. They have a Zouki Cafe at the RNSH and every time I have to go there I get a Portugese tart and a box of their Nut Bites.

you know what suprised me going to Denmark Copenhagen to be exact... Danish pastries the real thing are nothing like what I have had here or in England...weird... in fact I wouldnt go out of my way to buy the real thing...they were kind of dry no fresh cream...their bread is yummy though and so much variety.....and they still have the little bakeries and coffee shops of old.. not chain stuff like we have...

I'll keep an eye out for that.

In Dutch cookies there are speculaas, spiced cookies with almond, sprits, zandkoekjes and more. Also buttercake, gingercake (gemberkoek) etc.

Koek, koekjes, cookies, is one Dutch word that made it into the English language.

For goodness sake, what is in “supermarkets” is not the be all and end all of food! Most real food is not found in supermarkets!

home cooking is definitely a dying art.

When both parents work, hard to keep real homecooking going. I have a spare meat mincing machine that I can’t give away to family or friends “no time” so buy some yucky mince from the supermarket. Yuck.

I make my own tomato sauce, even grow some of the tomatoes myself and I know what goes into it: tomato and citric acid, nothing else.

Of course not, but to be fair, Aldi has done a lot to put different European foods before the Australian public, especially with their various regional "weeks".

that is very commendable monk.... and one day it may come back .. home cooking I mean....

but if you think about all the old crafts most are disappearing....or most certainly becoming endangered... sadly crochet knitting weaving all under a huge cloud..even sewing.. who would make childrens clothes when you can buy a t/shirt for $3 at Big W....

in the mean time all those skills die a natural death lack of use...they are far too busy on their iPads and mobs today....they just dont have the time or energy all too hard..

I do hope you are passing on all your skills monk..
