Couple of changes, after 30 years to my Vanilla Bean Ice Cream click here

Better texture and a bit easier for the professional and home cook who get cream in 500ml or 1L bottles.

new romesco

Romesco, a simple but delicious condiment that has its roots in the Spanish kitchen. Over the years we have removed the tomatoes and embellished it to, we think [cheeky we know] a much-improved sauce. Perfect for the Australian summer where there is an abundance of soil grown capsicums. The crunch of the roasted almonds, embellished, as long, as you don’t want to make it gluten free with the crunch of ciabatta crumbs fried until crunchy in our best EVO. We have tried making it with fried gluten free crumbs, but it just doesn’t crack it for us.
