Lavender & Callebaut Mousse with Biscotti Crumble
If you’re new here, what you need to know is that I am not a chef. I do however, cook for my restaurant. Apparently you need that qualification to call yourself a chef.
So, I, Cenéa the Not-Chef, spend my spare time scouring the internet for recipes to test, learn and improve. I take my knowledge of the functions and behaviours of ingredients, and use that to make my own core recipes.
Then, once mastered, I add a little Cenéa. A little lavender here. A little rose there. A sprinkle of pistachio to the left.
You get me.

Lavender, Honey & White Chocolate Sauce
A necessary ingredient for the Mini White Chocolate & Lavender Cheesecake, this sauce is also great for pouring over just about anything you want to.
Drizzle a crumpet, go on.

Mini White Chocolate & Lavender Cheesecakes
If you’re like me, and like to experiment with aromatics and flavour, you will love this rich, aromatic baked mini cheesecake.

Yeast-Free Civil War Bread
Shops were looted and burned to the ground. Produce trucks were targeted. Breweries were ransacked and destroyed. It was pandemonium. Trade came to a stand-still.
At the time of writing this, the attacks continue.
