Welcome to Flavoursome Delights

Congratulations to Trent and Leah Cooper, married in a beautiful ceremony on the 20th February 2010. Thank you so much for the invitation; we had a truly great time.

To commemorate the occasion we are pleased to release our first two posts relating to our visit to the town of Hervey Bay and the Frazer Coast.

Air Drying Chili Peppers - If you’re anything at all like me, chilies, especially the hot ones are an ingredient best used very sparingly. As a little chili goes a long way in our house, what do you do if you come into a large number of fresh chilies all at once? Rather than just letting them spoil, why not try drying them instead.

Smoked Salmon Galettes served with a Lemon and Chive Cream - In this recipe we mix the gorgeous taste of Smoked Salmon with a beautiful Lemon and Chive Cream, together they make a great filling for the Galettes.

Oysters Mornay - For those that find eating raw freshly shucked Oysters a little intimidating, Oysters Mornay is a great compromise. The Mornay sauce is a Bechamel sauce enriched with grated cheese. This versatile sauce is used to coat dishes to be glazed under the grill. Oysters and Mornay sauce, they really do make for a perfect marriage.

Lobster Bisque with Rouille Sauce and Croutons - A beautiful soup where the Western Australian Rock Lobster is well and truly the star of the show.

Rouille Sauce - A mayonnaise like sauce full of Mediterranean flavours which is usually served with dishes such as fish stews, bisque or seafood.

Harissa Sauce, How to make it - A sauce with beautiful African and Middle-Eastern flavours that can be used in dishes such as Couscous or as a base for a Rouille sauce.

Roasted Red Capsicum (Peppers) - There is no way better to release the gorgeous sweetness and delicious flavours of a capsicum than to roast it until the skin blackens and blisters before peeling it off to reveal the soft flesh.

Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs - For a beautiful quick and easy breakfast, combine the delightfully fluffy Scrambled Eggs with the decadent flavour of Smoked Salmon.

Slow Roasted Lamb Shanks with Garlic and Thyme - Beautiful Lamb shanks infused with Garlic and Thyme flavours so tender that the meat just falls off the bone.

Smoked Salmon Mousse Canapés - Impress your guests with these delicious and easy to make Smoked Salmon Mousse canapés.

Salmon en Croute with Cranberries and Ginger - An impressive traditional salmon dish with Cranberries and Ginger that gives it a christmassy feel.

Butane Torch - If you are intending to try and make recipes such as a Crème Brulee there is really no substitute for the hand held butane torch when it comes to creating the beautiful crunchy sugar coating.

Le Chat Noir - What we thought of the place on our last visit in December 2009.
