"Royal" Dessert

HI EVERYBODY!!

It's been a couple weeks now and I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter break. With CODA closing for 5 days it was refreshing to come back and start afresh!

The talk of the town (or the world) the last couple of  weeks was about the Royal Wedding and I had to get in there with the theme. TACKY I know! But it's fun and just another excuse for a dessert! 


Warm Chocolate cake with butter poached pears, Leatherwood honey ice cream and whisky ganache

Pears are beautiful and cheap to buy at the moment! They are full of flavour and in this dish I just poached them in some melted butter and brown sugar until it softens. The honey is from Tasmania and has a unique flavour on it's own. Tastes very 'Royal' haha and who doesn't love a little whisky in the chocolate ganache... yummy..enough to get my face a little rosy!!

Mother's Day at Coda we were serving...


Pavlova with passion fruit mousse, fresh kiwis, strawberries, roses and Vanilla Persian fairy floss

Just a refreshing dessert with crisp and chewy textures of the meringue, it goes quite well married with passion fruit mousse and fruit which is different from the usual chantilly cream.

 Missing Roy Choi and the girls Natasha, Caroline and Alice from Kogi BBQ, I decided to bring back a little LA loving through flavours.


Raspberry Souffle with persimmon and ginger tea with Lychee sorbet

The tea is garnished with torn mint and roasted pine nuts. Previously, we had blueberries and raspberries with Roy Choi, but I decided raspberry to be the souffle flavour instead.

Little sweet bites are...

Flourless orange cake with orange curd

These little bites are sweet and moist. They are also gluten free!!

Happy belated Mother's Day!!
