Citrus

Nadine Ingram of Sydney's Flour and Stone shares her showstopping Christmas dessert.

The formula for dessert success is as easy as peeling some mandarins and popping them in the oven. No time to make custard? Cream works just as well.

This delicate dessert is lightly scented with orange and mandarin and is a perfect way to embrace citrus season.

The combination of citrus and dark chocolate is always a winner. In place of the usual orange, why not try mandarin?

Chef Kylie Kwong still enjoys her mum's chiffon cake topped with seasonal citrus fruit, making room for a slice every time she brings it into Billy Kwong.
