    So today I have made mango chutney, tom yum soup, pesto, hommus and a mixed berry coulis. Baby not budging!

    Will share the recipe when I can drag myself the full two metres to my recipe book to get it out...

    Greek Almond Crescents

    These are devine and super easy.......if you like almonds

    Makes about 25, they keep in airtight container for about a week and you can freeze them from up to 3 months.

    3 Cups (375gms) almond meal
    1 Cup (250gms) caster sugar
    3 drops almond essence (I tend to put a little bit more, but it's generally to your taste)
    3 egg whites lightly beaten
    1 cup (80gms) flaked almonds

    1. Prehead oven to moderate

    2. Combine almond meal, sugar and essence in large bowl. Add egg white, stir until mixture forms a firm paste.

    3. Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into the flaked almonds, roll into 8cm logs. Press on any remaining almonds. Shape logs to form crescents. Place onto baking paper lined oven trays.

    4. Bake in moderate oven about 15 minutes or until browned lightly. Cool on trays.

    almond cookies also a success - YUM!
    Couldnt' quite get crescents so they're more like splats, but taste great

    Glad you liked them

    I don't make crescents either mine look more like little logs lol

    Mum has a hazelnut one that is similar with one end of the biscuit that is dipped in choc, they are yummy too - will try and track it down.
