  • Calling all food bloggers: join us for the Festive Favourites Blog Hop on 19th December

    ‘Tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la, la la la la.

    Regular readers will know that we had a rather spectacular Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop last month, featuring 36 amazing pavlovas made by food bloggers from all over the world. Click here to see my deconstructed pavlova entry and all the other amazing pavlovas.

    Well, I’m thrilled to let you know that Sweet Adventures (aka myself, DelicieuxDining With a StudThe Capers of the Kitchen Crusader and 84th & 3rd ) have decided to run a monthly blog hop event focusing on different themed desserts each month.

    This month, being the festive season, we have decided to throw the doors open to any kind of festive dessert.

    That’s right – you can make a gingerbread house, Christmas tree cookies, yuletide log, festive Bombe Alaska, steamed pudding, Christmas trifle, egg nog or whatever you like really. The only criteria is that it has to be some kind of festive, celebratory dessert.

    So what are you waiting for? Crack out the recipe books and your favourite food sites and start thinking about what to bake.

    And we look forward to seeing your amazing creation, along with all the others, on Monday December 19th – Australian Eastern Standard Time [AEST].

  • Calling all food bloggers: join us for The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop on November 27th

    Are you a food blogger? Do you love pavlova, that iconic Australian meringue and cream dessert? Have you ever been curious about making one?

    Well, we’d love you to join us for The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop on November 27th!

    A couple of nights ago I was on Twitter when I tweeted that I was eating peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon. A BIG spoon.

    This led to some friendly banter with other tweeting food bloggers about food cravings. Jennifer from Delicieux asked if I was going to cook a peanut and chocolate cake for my blog and I told her I was actually thinking about a pavlova. Then Nic from Dining with a Stud, Heather from The Capers of the Kitchen Crusader and JJ from 84th & 3rd all joined in with stories about their favourite pavlovas.

    So the five of us decided to organise a pavlova blog hop* so that we could all cook our versions and then share the recipes and photos with each other.

    And if you’re a food blogger, we’d love for you to join us, too!

    You don’t have to be an Australian food blogger to join in either – this blog hop is open to food bloggers world-wide. So if you’ve ever wondered what a pavlova was all about, here’s your chance to give it a go.

    Here’s how it will all work.

    On Sunday 27th November (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) food bloggers keen to take part should post their pavlova recipe and photos on their own blog. They should then visit Delicieux, which will feature The Great Australian Pavlova Bake Off invitation post. Bloggers can submit the link to their pavlova post via this post and obtain The Great Australian Pavlova Bake Off link code to share on their own blog. This way, each blog involved will show everybody’s pavlova submissions.

    You are encouraged to share your post/entry into The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop with your fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter, using the common tag, #pavbloghop, when tweeting.

    And that’s it. Too easy.

    So what are you waiting for? Start separating those eggs now!

    And we look forward to seeing everybody’s brilliant pavlova creations on November 27th.
