This is yummo! The sweet mustard apple sauce makes a nice twist on traditional roast pork n apple, and is fairly easy to make as you can just throw all the roasting ingredients into the the same pan, whiz up the sauce and hey presto!

Wahoo this is my first official blog entry! Thought it would be most appropriate to start things off at the beginning, which for me, really started back on the sandy beaches back home in NZ. As a kid I used to make chocolate sand-cakes by adding and mixing crushed up sea shells (eggs), wet sand (chocolate) and dry sand (flour & sugar), pat it all together as a big cake on the beach, then sprinkle with white choc sand flavoured icing...
