Whipped feta with sesame crackers

 

The holiday season is on the horizon (are you counting the days like me?) and that means there’ll be lots of gatherings coming up. This latest recipe is perfect for entertaining and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do. Besides tasting great this snacky delight is also something that you can whip up relatively quickly. The crackers can be baked in advance and the feta can be whipped in minutes, so there’s no last minute stressing just before your guests arrive.

The base is a sweet shortcrust pastry that can be made in a food processor (love that) which is filled with creamy vanilla bean crème pâtissière. This is topped with slices of apple and an apricot jam glaze – an absolute treat.

Smokey pulled pork buns

 

This recipe is from a recent campaign I worked on, and I simply had to share it with you – it’s that good. The oven does most of the work here, and although the cooking time is a few hours the actual hands on prep time is minimal.
