1. Shell and devein prawns; halve prawns lengthways, if they are large.
2. Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of rapidly boiling, well-salted water until just tender; drain. Return to pan; cover to
keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat. Cook the prawns for about 1 minute on each side or
until they are just cooked through. Remove from the pan; reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and garlic to the
pan; cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the wine; cook for a further minute. Stir in the cream, mustard and
pepper. Combine the cornflour and water in a small bowl; stir until smooth and add to the sauce. Cook, stirring, until
the mixture boils and thickens. Season to taste with salt. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cream sauce.
4. Add remaining cream sauce to the spaghetti; mix thoroughly to coat. Stir in half of the parsley.
5. Divide spaghetti between four serving bowls. Toss the prawns in the reserved cream sauce; spoon over spaghetti.
Sprinkle with the remaining parsley.

Method:
Shuck the oysters over a sieve placed over a bowl, making sure you collect all the juices, then set
the oyster meat and strained juices aside. Rinse the bottom of the oyster shells, then dry well.
Spread the rock salt over a serving plate, then place the cleaned shells on the salt – this helps keep
them steady.
Heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat just until golden. Add the parsley and flour
and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the wine and 50 ml water and bring to the boil, then add the oyster
meat and strained juices. Season with black pepper, then stir for 1 minute or until heated through.
Divide the oysters and salsa verde among the shells and serve immediately.

To make the chardonnay butter, place the roe, vinegar, wine, peppercorns, shallot and bay leaf in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until reduced
by three quarters. Remove from the heat, transfer to a blender and process until finely ground. Do not sieve, just make sure everything is well ground.
Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until very light and fluffy. With the motor running, gradually add the chilled reduction to the butter, beating well after
each addition until well combined. Set aside.
To make the creamed nettles, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Put on your garden gloves and gently empty the nettles into a colander in your
sink. Rinse well by using the tongs to flip the nettles. (I know you shouldn’t need both tongs and gloves but be safe!!)
Drop the nettles into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, then drain into the colander and rinse with cold water. Let drain. When the nettles are cool
enough to handle, cut off the stems with kitchen scissors and discard or compost. Squeeze out the liquid from the nettles and finely chop by hand or in a
food processor.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the garlic and stir until just golden. Add the cream and season with salt
and pepper. Simmer for about 2 minutes or until the cream coats the back of a spoon. Add the grated parmesan and chopped nettles and cook for about 2
more minutes or until heated through. Serve warm.

more minutes or until heated through. Serve warm.
To serve, place the chilled chardonnay butter in a place in a cold heavy-based saucepan over low heat. Stand, without stirring just until the butter is half
melted. Remove from the heat and whisk until melted and smooth. Make sure the butter doesn’t get too hot- if it totally melts it will split.
Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Toss the scallops in a bowl with a few drops of olive oil and season lightly. Cook the scallops for 10 seconds on each
side or until golden but still translucent in the centre.
To assemble, place small dollops of warm creamed nettles on serving plates. Top with the scallops and spoon a little warm chardonnay butter over each. Top
with shaved beetroot slices and herbs.

Method:
To make the rosewater pavlovas, place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat it to 110°C. Line an oven tray with non-stick baking paper.
Use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to whisk the egg whites in a large bowl on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. With the motor running,
add the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking well after each addition, until all the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is very thick and glossy (this will take
4-5 minutes). Add the cornflour and rosewater and whisk to combine. Use a spatula to stir the meringue mixture to ‘loosen’ it slightly (this will get rid of any
excess air in the mixture and give it a smoother, less ‘foamy’ texture). Use two metal tablespoons to spoon 8 ovals of the meringue mixture on to the lined
tray and use the back of a spoon to make in an indent in the centre of each. Bake in the lower third of the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, until the
meringue is crisp and hard to touch, but not coloured. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar and cool it completely in the oven (this will take about 2
hours).
To make the toffee pistachios, line an oven tray with non-stick baking paper. Combine the caster sugar and water in a small saucepan and use a wooden
spoon to stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium and bring to the boil. Boil for 8-10 minutes, brushing down the side of the
pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to dissolve any sugar crystals, until the mixture turns a deep caramel. Pour immediately onto the lined tray and then
sprinkle with the pistachios. Lightly tap the tray 2-3 times on the bench top to settle the pistachios into the toffee and then set aside to cool completely (this
will take about 30 minutes). When cool, use the end of a rolling pin to pound the toffee into coarse chunks.
To make the vanilla-roasted red fruits, preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Rinse the rhubarb and shake off any excess water. Place in a bowl with
the strawberries and sugar. Use a small sharp knife to scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean. Add the bean and the seeds to the rhubarb mixture and toss
to combine. Transfer to an ovenproof dish just large enough to hold the fruit in a single layer and cover with foil. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes

or until the rhubarb is just tender and still holding its shape. Remove the foil and set aside to cool.
To make the yoghurt cream, fold together the whipped cream and yoghurt.
To serve, place the pavlovas, toffee pistachios, roasted fruit, yoghurt cream and lime wedges in the centre of the table for guests to assemble their own
dessert.

To make the frozen chocolate mousse, combine the chocolate and half the cream in a small heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the base of the
bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir until the chocolate melts. Remove from the saucepan and set aside to cool slightly. Use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to whisk the
egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of sugar until very thick and pale. Stir in the melted chocolate. Use a clean dry whisk attachment to whisk the egg whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks
form. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and whisk until thick and glassy. Add a large spoonful to the chocolate mixture and use a spatula or large metal spoon to fold together
to loosen the mixture. Add the remaining egg whites and fold together until just combined. Use a clean whisk attachment to whisk the remaining cream in a medium bowl until soft
peaks form. Add to the chocolate mixture and fold together until just combined. Spoon the mousse mixture into a freezer-proof serving dish just large enough to hold it, cover and
freeze for 6 hours or until frozen.
To make the cherry and hazelnut bark, line an oven tray with non-stick baking paper or foil. Place the dark and milk chocolates in separate microwave-proof bowls. Heat separately
on high power for 30-second intervals and stirring between each until melted and smooth. Spread the dark chocolate on the lined tray to a 26 cm x 36 cm rectangle. Use a spoon to
dollop the milk chocolate over the dark chocolate and then use a fork to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle the chocolate with the cherries and hazelnuts and then tap the tray on the
bench top a couple of times to settle the cherries and nuts into the chocolate. Set aside at room temperature for 2 hours or until set (see Baker’s tips). Break into large pieces.
To make the fudge brownie rounds, preheat oven to 160°C (140°C fan-forced). Line two large oven trays with non-stick baking paper. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and
sugar until pale and creamy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat until well combined. Beat in the melted chocolate. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

firm enough to roll. Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on the lined tray and 3 cm apart (this mixture will make 20 balls). Use your fingers or the base of a glass to
flatten each to about 1 cm thick. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, swapping the trays around halfway through baking, or until just baked through (they need to be still a little
soft in the centre so that they remain slightly fudgy). Stand on the trays for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
To make the chocolate sauce, place the cocoa powder in a small saucepan and use a balloon whisk to gradually stir in the water. Add the sugar and golden syrup and cook over
medium heat, stirring frequently with the whisk, until the mixture boils. Remove from the heat and stir in the cherry liqueur, vanilla and butter. Transfer to a serving jug, cover with
plastic wrap and keep warm.

Method:
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
Unwrap the pastry and place on a lightly floured, cool work surface. Gently pat the pastry with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Use a lightly floured
rolling pin to roll the pastry into a rectangle about 4 mm thick. Line a 11.5 cm x 35 cm (base measurement) tart tin, with a removable base, with the pastry.
Roll the rolling pin over the top of the tart tin to trim any overhanging pastry.
Place tart case on a baking tray. Prick the pastry base with a fork (about 12 times). Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper or foil and fill with pastry
weights, dried beans or raw rice, making sure to press into the corners. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and use the paper to lift the weights out of the case. Return the pastry case to the oven and cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until the
pastry case is lightly golden and just cooked through. Remove the tart case from the oven and set aside to cool.

Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C (150°C fan-forced).
To make the frangipane, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar, honey and orange rind until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating
well after each addition, until well combined. Combine the flour with the ground almonds and mix evenly. Add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed
until just combined. Spoon the frangipane into the cooled tart case and spread evenly. Press the fig quarters, cut side up, randomly into the frangipane.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the frangipane is just set and the pastry is golden and crisp. Remove the tart from the oven and place, still in the tin, on a
wire rack.
Brush the warm tart with the honey and set aside to cool (this will take about 1 hour). Sprinkle with the small sage leaves and icing sugar, and serve slices
accompanied with ice cream or cream.
