Thank goodness it is Friday! In my opinion, the best day of the week. I am looking forward to spending my days hunting for hidden treasures and cooking up a storm in the Kitchen! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Its Easter time again, and I am already on chocolate overload! My belly is full of the sweet delicious goodness that comes only from chocolate, and I would not have it any other way. As my mother says it is the one weekend of the year where you don't have to feel bad about having chocolate for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert!
I have been wary about baking too much over the Easter weekend,Miss Silver Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10542322275296216932noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883100248391234374.post-63434026047994415482010-03-29T20:14:00.000-07:002010-03-29T03:17:20.475-07:00Crisp pork belly with caramel vinegar
I have never really been a fan of Pork, I think this all came from my childhood when my Mum would make pork chops- the chops were always dry and flavourless, there simply was no amount of apple sauce that could save them. It was only until my cousin made me the most AMAZING pork dish when she was visiting me from Sydney. I can still remember the smell coming out of the kitchen when she was Miss Silver Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10542322275296216932noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883100248391234374.post-55351419964416575182010-03-25T17:36:00.000-07:002010-03-25T15:49:59.986-07:00The Perfect Frosting
I love birthdays, it gives me an excuse to spend the afternoon baking my loved ones something special. Since I have a birthday to attend tomorrow, I thought it was the perfect time to try out an icing that I have been dying to make for a while now. I stumbled across the recipe whilst in the wonderful world of food blogs, and with a title like The best frosting i've ever had, I mean you just haveMiss Silver Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10542322275296216932noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883100248391234374.post-39264538048976483952010-03-22T10:08:00.000-07:002010-03-21T17:09:14.422-07:00Mini Strawberry and Cream Pound Cakes
I loooovvvveeee Alice in Wonderland, I am addicted to the book and as it turns out loved the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland! I was very happy that it contained Lewis Carrols classic ideas. One in particular that I always loved, is the cake that makes Alice grow so big that she becomes stuck in the hall of doors. I always loved the little “EAT ME” cakes, and after seeing them in 3D I was I Miss Silver Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10542322275296216932noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883100248391234374.post-52043046132697817922010-03-14T21:19:00.000-07:002010-03-14T21:27:37.768-07:00Chicken and Cellophane Noodle Soup
My friends who are mostly Asian, like to poke fun at the fact that I come from a very “English/ Australian” family, the type of family that calls the man in the red suit Father Christmas and not Santa, and who likes afternoon tea with scones and biscuits. They joke around at my inexperience in Asian food and regularly bring me samples of their favourite meals so I can experience food that is Miss Silver Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10542322275296216932noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883100248391234374.post-10216026548276067982010-03-13T00:19:00.000-08:002010-03-13T00:57:04.305-08:00Chocolate Chip Cookie
My mission over the last few weeks was to find a charming little chocolate chip cookie recipe- one that produced the perfect cookie, a cookie that was everything a good cookie should be- soft, chunky, not too moist and not too dry, one that was able to make you feel at home and happy.
The recipe had to produce a classic chocolate chip biscuit; simple, understated and delicious.

It's already March, I can't believe that we are 3 months into the new year! I don't know about you but life seems to be getting busier and busier! When life gets busy I become a "breakfast skipper" - although breakfast is my favourite meal of the day I very rarely eat it- some mornings amongst the eye lash curler, hair straighter and staring into my wardrobe exclaiming "I have nothing to wear!"

No kitchen is complete without a recipe stand- they are the perfect assistant in the kitchen and such a help when cooking up a storm! I really wanted to share this gorgeous stand that I came across by Oasis Homewares. Something a little different and very stylish!
I hope you are all having a lovely Monday!

One thing I have learnt over the last week is- never wear ballet flats in the rain- big mistake, I mean huge! It has been raining in Queensland over the past week, so much so rivers are forming where they shouldn't, fields are turning into lakes and.... well it is impossible to do anything outside. I parked my car on Monday night and jumped out stepping right into what seemed to be a newly Miss Silver Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10542322275296216932noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883100248391234374.post-2557069834285029362010-03-01T17:26:00.000-08:002010-02-28T23:27:37.994-08:00Good bye summer, hello autumn!
Well its official- autumn has arrived!! I don't know about you, but I am very much looking forward to mugs of hot chocolate, baking pastries, and cooking comfort food- all of which go beautifully with the cooler days and longer nights that are to come. Well its been nice, but I will see you soon Summer!

I found these quirky blocks of chocolate when I was wandering the aisles of the supermarket which definitely put a smile on my dial, so I thought I would share them with you!

I'm sure we have all been asked this question countless times in our lives, and for me the answer was always coffee, simply because I found tea to be a tad boring. I mean just go to Starbucks and there is an endless array of possibilities for the humble coffee bean- villa soy latte, mocha, iced coffee, cappuccino etc etc. In my mind tea was only ever white, blackMiss Silver Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10542322275296216932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883100248391234374.post-27596690826850349112010-02-22T16:09:00.000-08:002010-02-24T16:37:14.013-08:00A new edition to my culinary libraryI am always very excited when I purchase a new cookbook; actually I think I am addicted to collecting recipe books (an addiction that like most takes a toll on my pocket book).

Although it was only 2 short weeks, I am very happy to be back in Australia, it is true what they say- there is no place like home. I say this now, but I love to travel and have the ability to experience cultures that are so different from your own, travelling to other countries really is an eye opening experience.

As most of you know today is Valentines Day, a day that can be an unhappy one for the singletons out there (a group of which I am a proud member) but it doesn't have to be! I mean it is the one day of the year that you should not feel bad about indulging your sweet tooth; you have a license to eat things like chocolate or cake without feeling guilty.
