This month marks 10 amazing years of taste.com.au, but the thing we really want to celebrate is YOU. The first thing that needs to be said is, “You rock!” Let’s start with the meals and recipes you cook from Taste every year – a whopping 562 million. That’s a lot of grateful faces and happy stomachs around your table! I hope you’re feeling the love. Then there are all your ratings, comments and reviews, which number around 227,600. Every word you write makes the recipe even more valuable. I can honestly say we learn from you all the time, especially from those brilliant twists and ‘ah-ha’ moments where you’ve made a recipe healthier or gluten-free, or smuggled in a load of vegies. We love your generosity in taking the time…

for as long as humans have been robbing nests and grinding stuff into rudimentary flour, there have been pancakes. For, unlike braises and stews, all they need to cook on is a bake stone at the side of a fire pit or other primitive hearth. Domesticate something you can milk – preferably cow, sheep or goat – and suddenly you have the pancakes we know and love today. The universal appeal of this most basic batter has made it a staple in kitchens around the world. Being adopted as a symbol by various religions, whether as the pre-Lent luxury of Shrove Tuesday pancakes in England or Russia’s Maslenitsa blini, as the hallmark of Candlemas or a traditional Hanukkah treat, has only cemented its place. Even before this, those golden round…

blueberry vs pomegranate Gram for gram, pomegranates have 25 per cent more sugar and 50 per cent more calories than blueberries, but with those extra cals comes over three times the fibre, calcium and potassium. The bright colour of each fruit is your clue that they’re both rich sources of polyphenols. Your best bet here is variety, which will give you access to a broader range of micronutrients. winner: it’s a tie bellini vs mimosa According to the official bartenders’ recipe, a Bellini is two-thirds prosecco and one-third fresh peach puree, while a Mimosa is half champagne and half orange juice. The Bellini has about 20 per cent more calories and one-third extra alcohol, but on the upside it has less sugar. The Mimosa is a better source of vitamin…

tip 1 Use the back of a spoon to create indents on each layer of frosting. Spoon Top ‘n’ Fill in the indents, so that when you cut the cake later, there are hidden pockets of caramel. tip 2 Use a large palette knife to press the frosting into the layers on the side of the cake. Make sure you completely coat the outside of the cake so it’s evenly covered from top to bottom. tip 3 A clever way to get a smooth, flat finish on your frosting is to lightly scrape it with the removable metal base of a straight-edged tart tin. Do the sides first and then smooth the top. tip4 To get a sharp edge on the top of the cake, chill the iced cake until…

  “ I’ve pumped up all the elements here.” “Syrupy berries, velvety ice-cream, chocolate, toffee. Enough said!” My aim was to create a great balance of flavours and textures. the base of my sundae is a gorgeous, rich ice-cream that’s infused with lemon thyme and bay leaves. The herbs add a subtle aromatic note, which works really well because the ice-cream is rich in fat from the pure cream and large quantity of egg yolks. It’s definitely going to be one of the creamiest ice-creams you’ll ever eat! The strawberries complement it perfectly and help to bring out the flavours. For me, a sundae isn’t complete without chocolate sauce. Here, I’m going with a dark, slightly bitter choc-malt ganache. If you can’t find malt extract, use golden syrup instead…

“Mustard fruits is an old Italian condiment of whole fruits preserved in a sweet, mustard-spiced syrup. I have added walnuts to the mix for a bit of crunch and, for a French touch,I’ve served it with baked brie.” Manu Feildel “Traditionally,this is made with fresh fruits that soak in syrup for a few days.
