As the northern hemisphere slips excitedly into Spring those down under are
coming to the end of their summer. Time I think to have a look a the New Zealand and Australian food blog scene to see
what they are up to - Tomatom seems to be having a ball blogging across Vietnam while Chocolate in Context seems to be enjoying to the full the renaissance of chocolate in Melbourne. "currently awash in new flavors, new techniques, and the general acceptance of chili as a hot chocolate flavoring".
More chocolate over at Esurientes with a delicious looking Chocolate Cherry Cake. An Easter flavour at Cook Almost Anything Once with some delightful looking Hot Cross Buns. Certainly look a little better than mine (to be in a post later today)! Some interesting looking Yoghurt and Pistachio cakes, with recipe, at A Few of My Favourite Things. Can't say I have seen fresh pistachios around these here parts though.
Savoury rules over at The Laughing Gastronome with Pork Rilletts. Not something I have ever thought of making is rillets but these sound easy to make so I might just give it a go. Finally Bron is having fun with potato gnocchi which are, again, something I have never been tempted to make.
