Many fall in love with the buckwheat pancakes at Rocker cafe in Bondi. Our hot tip? Hunt down the freeze-dried strawberries for an extra-special brunch.
It may feel sacrilegious to mess with a childhood favourite, but this spin on rocky road adds goji berries and freeze-dried strawberries to balance out the sweetness. It’s all the better for it.
This simple cake base lends itself to experimentation – use different nuts, or top with another choice of fruit. Slivers of apricot would work well, as would other berries or plums.
This wreath-shaped pavlova ramps up the festivity factor. A cream made with a simple drained yoghurt makes a change from the more usual cream topping and cuts through the sweetness of the pav.
