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.
Pairing strawberries with goat's curd makes for a different take on strawberries and cream. Basil, pepper and balsamic join the party, too, for a simple and refined dessert.
“If you don’t have surplus fresh berries, frozen are a perfect substitute; just give them a little more time in the sauce to warm through and soften,” says Saint Peter's Julie Niland.
