Cannoli
Every year for her birthday morning tea, my workmate B brings in a box full of cannoli from Corica Pastries for everyone in our team. I’ve been working with B for over 3 years now and the birthday cannoli is something I really look forward to. I only eat cannoli once a year – at […]

She’s made these for workmates and friends recently, and thought I’d enjoy them too. With the pastry warmed in the oven, and the curry zapped in the microwave, thes…
Bakery savouries
Jac recently bought a box of mini meat pies, sausage rolls and quiches and a full-size pastie from the bakery at The Bentley Centre. I ate one of each mini pastry, plus half the pastie, which Jac and I shared. The mini meat pies were especially good, filled with a combination of beef mince and […]
