healthy-chocolate-brownies

Whip up these delicious, gooey brownies on Mother’s Day…and make everyone smile. Adulterated from Bill Granger at smh.

You need for 16 fashionista, 32 models or for one big mama :

60g ( 1/2 cup) cocoa powder
¾ cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
50g (1/³ cup) firmly packed brown sugar
110g (²/³ cup) chopped dried dates
90g unsalted butter, melted
80ml (1/³ cup) low-fat milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Slip into your Celine loose wide pants and Alexander Wang sweat top.
  • Climb out of Givenchy ankle boots and into Burberry flats.
  • I insist a little drink while you cook this: I suggest a glass of champers is lovely with chocolate.
  • Preheat oven to 160C.
  • lightly moisterise and then line the base of a 20cm square baking tin.
  • chop the dates as small as the Bulgari ring.
  • Sift the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder together into a chic, large mixing bowl.
  • Add the brown sugar and dates and stir to combine.
  • In another bowl whisk together the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla.
  • Gulp down another glass of champers.
  • Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Taste to check this is delicious.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking tray.
  • Lick the bowl: No calories.  Summer on the beach at St Tropez is months away.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until set. Don’t overcook you want as gooey as a romantic comedy.
  • Let cool a little before cutting into squares the size of an Hermes cuff.
  • Accessorise with icing sugar or smoothe on lashings of nutella as icing!
  • So delicious! So healthy ( cough, cough).
Recipe of the week! Chocolate Easter eggcups dolloped with Nutella….

chc-easter-eggs-wt-nutea

A perfect little Easter dessert adulterated from Donna Hay. I have spread each egg with Nutella instead of icing. Divine !

Hint:  You need oven proof egg cups otherwise you can make as muffins and serve in egg cups

You need for 10 Chocoholics:

125g butter, softened
¾ cup (165g) caster (superfine) sugar
2 eggs
1¼ cups (185g) self-raising flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
½ cup (125ml) milk
100g dark chocolate, melted

  • Sip into your favorite Prada trackie pants and hoodie.
  • Do not think about bikinis or calories.
  • You may sip champagne as you cook this.
  • Preheat oven to 160ºC (320ºF).
  • Toss the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and creamy as Crème de a Mer .
  • Then gradually add eggs and beat well.
  • Sift over the flour and cocoa and beat until combined.
  • Now melt the chocolate: what you should do is toss the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Stir until melted and smooth as your new Givenchy bag.
  • Then fold through the milk and chocolate into the mix as you fold your Gucci shirt .
  • Then spoon into 10 x ⅓ cup-capacity (80ml) ovenproof dishes.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
  • Cool slightly and smother with Nutella.
  • Yum!
FiFi’s item du jour this week!


item-red-jeans-melanie1

What: Red jeans.
Which:
fashion is having a red moment and red jeans are it. Look for skinny red jeans with a low rise. If you are more of a fashionista and feeling brave then you could go for a high waist peg leg pants. Go for any red:  burgundy , red , orange is fabulously cool don;t you think? You might like red denim jeans or go for cord, velvet or leather.
Why: B( ecause red works with black and brown. Because fashion is having a retro moment. Because we first saw this look at Isabel Marant and she is epitome of that low key French girl chic. Because it’s great way to incorporate colour into your wardrobe. Because red never goes out of style.
Wear: With a black blazer. With a fur vest. With a leather jacket. Try it with a cape. Love red jeans with pointy toe heels. Keep it simple and let the jeans take centre stage and you will get the look. Man style shoes work (below) because Garance Dore always gets it right. Oh and she does has an Hermes Kelly to help the look! Photos from harpersbazaar.com and Style.com
Where: Try Net A porter or just click to Shopstyle , the search engine for anything fashion. There are 17 pages of red jeans and most stores ship to Australia! Outrageous.
