As it was an early Sunday morning, I thought it would be nice to wake the family up to the smell of freshly baking rolls. By incorporating the leftover buttermilk in this recipe, the rolls turned out deliciously soft and tangy. Read More

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies zestybaking | September 3, 2012 4:31 am The most classic of cookies is the chocolate chip cookie. Something about it conjures up an image of large cookies with a soft chewy centre, served with a glass of cold milk.    I learnt how to make these cookies a few months back when I attended a Pastry & Puddings course at the Ashburton Cookery School. The original recipe was created by the chefs at the Ashburton Cookery School and demonstrated by our chef Alan Stannard who worked as a Pastry Chef at Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, as well as a chef at many luxury restaurants and hotels around the country.    Check out my Pistachio, Hazelnut & Chocolate Cookies recipe to see how I've taken this classic recipe and made it more colourful and tasty.    Check out the recipe here.
