Becs: My favourite vanilla brand is
Heilala. Their extract is packaged with a vanilla bean in the bottle, which is a nice bonus once the extract has been used up. They also make a vanilla bean paste which is a handy product when you want the flecks of the vanilla seeds but not the hassle of scooping them out with a knife. I was most excited to buy a Heilala package (3 bottles of extract and a jar of paste) on Trade me last week for $50, usually these are around $20 each. Sadly this was a one off sale, but should keep us in vanilla for a while...
Libby: Pic's Really Good Peanut Butter really is the best peanut butter - it's just ground roasted peanuts with a bit of salt. Becs introduced me to it when she bought some a few years ago at the Nelson Market. At the time the Nelson Market (and the Pic's website) was the only place it was sold. It's now reasonably widely
available and this morning I saw it for sale at Wellington's
Harbourside Market. But its still slightly cheaper (and very convenient) to buy it from their website. It's $18 for the big 1kg jar including courier.
Miriam: Meringues have long been one of my favourite sweet treats. On Saturday, Becky, Daisy, Hiedee and I dined at the
Raspberry Cafe in Tai Tapu, Christchurch. We shared this elaborate dessert, crunchy meringue topped with whipped cream & the last of the seasons sweet strawberries. Yum!
