They year of the sexy life is more than just keeping ontop of your lingerie drawer, it is about you feeling fabulous. From cleaning, to decorating and cooking you entire life should be 360 degrees of grand gestures of delight and little touches of sexy.

Having something you can pull  out of the freezer that is tasy, goes with lots of things (much like a bottom hugging pair ofjeans), and is guilt free definitely fits in with the year of the sexy life.

Here it is. The perfect recipe to help you savour summer well into winter. It takes about 12 hours to complete start to finish (stay with me people) but only requires 20 minutes of actual work. 3 ingrediants. Simple!

Here is the 3 part ingrediant list:

Salt

Olive oil

Tomatos (around 750 g – kg of tomatoes per baking tray)

1. Set up your sieve over a bowl. Pull out a cutting board (wooden please-love your knives)  and slice the tomatos into 1 cm slices.

2.Remove the cores and salt the them very well. We are trying o pull the moisture out of them,  most of the salt will drain off easily.

3. After 2 hours in the sieve splash  up to 1/2 a cup of olive oil on the tomatos. If you want you can leave them overnight, not strictly necessary, but if that what works for you schedule do it.  They should have a nice glossy sheen to them.

4. Place in a 150 C oven for an hour and a half turning halfway through. Leave in the oven overnight.

5. Keeps in the fridge for a week, or put in the freezer for 4 months.

Enjoy with pasta, rice, cheese and crackers, baked potatos or with green beans.
Italian styled bliss to you all!

PS. When I was shooting this, I realised I hadn’t oiled my boards in over a year. Shame on me. Learn from my fail and use the olive oil on your boards.

Did you know that chocolate is long rumoured to have been an aphrodisiac?

These truffles are easy to make, and a fun finger food. Kissing off the stray topping from around the lips is darn fun too!

The recipe:
4 cups roughly chopped chocolate (milk or dark your choice). Please do not use the cheapest brand in the supermarket-Whittaker or better for this.

1 tin of condensed milk

1 T of good vanilla extract

Various toppings. Make sure you have lots of selection (just like with lingerie). I like toasted coconut, choppeds peanuts, shaved chocolate, cocoa poowder, icing sugar, sprinkles, pecans, cinnamon sugar, broken peppermint candy canes….

Part 1

1. In a large microwave safe bowl add first 3 ingrediants. Microwave in 30 second blasts at 50% power and stir often. Not too hot or else the chocolate will burn.

2. Melt and mix throughly as while lumps are not the end of the world in this recipe (unlike cheesecake), they do degrade the mouth feel.

3. Place batter in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Part 2

Now for the fun part! Get out lots of wine glasses (trust me) and fill with your favourite toppings from above. Put in about 2 tablespoons per glass.
1. Take some cooking spray and use it on your hands, it washes off don’t worry.

2. Using a small spoon take out blobs of the batter and roll into rough balls.

3. Drop balls into the toppings and swirl it in the wine glass.

4. Place back into the fridge to firm up.

These are meant to be hand fed to a lover, I love  presenting them in a wine glass. Gives it a more decadent, adult feel to the truffles.

Happy almost Valentines Day!

PS. Did you know that the French orginially invented chocolate truffles. They preffered to roll the batter into cocoa powder. The velelty blacks balls resembled a very expensive fungus, so they named the treat after the fungal truffles.

This is a devine dessert right in time for Valentines Day. This is the perfect cheesecake for a romantic evening. It is made the night before, easy to alter to your tastes by simply chancing the accomping sauce, and is light enough that you won’t feel ill afterwards. It is highly spreadable and lickable. Only 7 ingrediants and less than 15 minutes prep time you won’t even need to break a sweat. It is so easy that on the big day you will only need to fuss over which piece of lingerie to wear.

Ingrediants

300 ml cream
1 T vanilla essence
125 g plain biscuits (half a pack)
250 g cream cheese- Room temperature and I mean it. If it has only been out for an hour it will not beat smooth
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup icing sugar
80 g melted butter
1. Beat the biscuits into a fine crumb, mix in granulated sugar and melted butter. Pat into a pan lined with baking paper at the bottom
2. Whip cream with vanilla until it forms soft billowy peaks
3. Beat cream cheese and icing sugar until flawless velvety smooth.
4. Take 1/3 of the whipped cream and beat it into the cream cheese mixture without mercy. Don’t worry about knocking the air out.
5. Gently fold in the remaining cream and mix.
6. Plop on top of the the crumb base and leave in the fridge to set.

Top with your favourite sweets, I have pictured it with fresh strawberries, homemade caramel sauce and cherry conserve.

Christmas time is upon us, the lights, the  lingerie, and the wrapped presents (both the sexy type and the regular). One thing you might like to add to you Christmas party menu is eggnog. This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and has just 7 ingrediants.

Imagine sipping a vanilla thick shake that developed a spicy relationship with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, and if you like a boozy  friend. This drink’s recipe started out over a thousand years ago, but don’t that fool you, it is super refreshing. It is traditional to add liquor to this frosty drink, rum, brandy or whiskey are all excellent.

Ingredients:
2 litres of milk, whole is best1 1/3 icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of ginger
1 packet of vanilla pudding
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1. Measure out all powdered ingrediants and pour onto a plate
2. Mix in with the milk throughly. If you have a jug, mix with a whisk. If you wish to mix it in the bottle carefully pour in the powder and shake throughly.
3. Chill for  1 hour
Optional fourth step, add one shot per serving, in this case 6 should do. You can always add more.

Enjoy it any way you can, but it is extra delicious with a nice peppermint candy cane to stir it with.  Have fun sipping your way to better holiday cheer this summer!
Yours in lovely lingerie and delicious food,

PS. Countries that drink eggnog often have a particular liqour they use based on palate preferences and what is plentiful.
*In Peru where the drink is called biblia con pisco they use brandy (called pisco). So the literal translation of the name becomes biblia (Bible) con (with) pisco (brandy).
*Germany treats it like a hot soup and use beer for the boozy edge
*North America prefers bourbon in the eggnog and the southern part prefers whiskey
*Colonial America preffered rum as at the time it was a cheap liquor to add to the mix
*In England where the drink originates, the alcohol was white wine
