Well I guess this is the start of my new blog about food, gaming and well whatever else I have to talk about, but I'm sure it's going to be mostly about food.
So lets start off with a quick intro.
I'm the senior sous chef of a restaurant in Sydney, Australia. I started my career uh 7 years ago now...I think. Anyways I have always been cooking, I cook all the time when I'm at home and it is one of the most enjoyable things I could possibly do.
I create all of the desserts that are served at the restaurant, and I usually test them out on friends and family before introducing them to work.
So I guess this will be a nice middle ground so everyone can see what I make first before it goes to the restaurant.
So this first dessert is something of a classic, but re-invented. It's an old Sicilian family recipe from one of my bosses, which was passed on to him from his mother. I've taken the standard recipe and turn it into something restaurant worthy....I hope ;)
I present....The Sicilian Vanilla Slice with vanilla bean mascarpone and passionfruit syrup.
It's not the most photogenic dessert, but who cares! The taste is amazing!!
It's a bloody simple dessert, but tastes so god damn good! The longer it sits and absorbs the citrus syrup, the better it becomes. And this baby can be left out at room temp as well, it tastes 100 times better than being cold.
So how do we go about making it you say hmmm?
Well here is the recipe, super quick to make, pretty well fool proof, and you will want to make a big batch, because once you start eating it, you won't stop :)
