#Cooking companions porn update#
So if I do actually give this one a go this year, I’ll come back and update with my own photographs … just don’t hold your breath. It’s also possible that this little project will take longer than it took the original settlers to get a roof over their heads. But I have to be honest and tell you that just typing out the recipe made me stress out, imagining how my version could appear in a “Nailed It” slideshow on Pinterest. Now, up until now, the rule has been that I don’t post recipes unless we’ve tried them. The recipe that follows is by Claire Brookman, the Deputy Food Editor from Super Food Ideas magazine, which describes it as “challenging” (if, by “challenging”, you mean “insanely time consuming”). This is an Aussie Gingerbread Homestead, complete with redback spider (even if it’s on the roof instead of the toilet seat in the outside dunny). No more snowy eaves, or high arched roof. So what to do? My original plan was to buy the do-it-yourself Gingerbread House from Aldi, and maybe just amend with some of the techniques in the Zumbo recipe – the caramel crunch brickwork, for example, or the chocolate roof tiles, or edible toadstools to dot around the house. This year I contemplated having a go at Adrian Zumbo’s Gingerbread House until I actually read through the recipe and decided the effort-to-result ratio was waaay out of whack.

It’s hot and humid and about 35 degrees outside, the romance of Christmas baking is well and truly dissipated, I’ve scalded myself with sugar syrup at least four times, and my gingerbread house has adopted a disturbing lean that would prevent it from passing even the most cursory building code inspection. The reality in an Australian context is a wee bit different – at least in my experience.

In my imagination there’s carols playing on the sound system, the snow’s coming down outside, an the amazing smell of gingerbread wafting from the kitchen. It’s one of those fantastic northern hemisphere things – it makes sense in that context to dedicate a chilly weekend to baking the components and then putting it together and decorating it. The Gingerbread House is a bit of a Christmas stalwart, complete with white royal icing forming icicles off the roof eaves.
