So, we’ve taken australia day, gourmet. However you celebrate, we’ve included some inspired yum’s in this box. Something for the barbie of course, but also a side for your Sunday Roast, a summer thirst quencher, a seasoning straight from the bush and of course, some sweet treats.

Meringue Blood Orange 45g
asterisk kitchen
These light and crunchy meringue kisses can be used for vacherin, a cousin of the pavlova, or added to all sorts of creams and cake decorations. In October 2012, after sixteen years of working in the industry, Director Chef / Pâtissier Younes and his wife Kate started Asterisk Kitchen from what was no more than a home-kitchen testing sweet cakes at the local market. Their kitchen is now based in Ringwood, Victoria where they have perfected a range of gourmet delights. Younes began his career in the Loire Valley, France and it is from these culinary foundations that he continues to research and develop products that aim to reflect French elegance, fine dining and a deep philosophy for good food. The exact origin of the meringues is disputed, some say the first record of the recipe began in Switzerland whilst others claim that the French were already serving meringue by the time the Swiss became interested in the French Kingdom. Wherever they came from, we’re glad they stood the test of time – let your creativity take over in the kitchen, and impress your guest with an elegant, bite-sized dessert. where to reorder www.asteriskkitchen.com.au ingredients egg white, sugar, natural blood orange flavour, cream of tartar, food colour (122, 102).
