This is a quick post on how to make a frozen fruit sorbet. It requires a Thermomix, so it might not work in a food processor or blender. The recipe is originally called Fruity Dream and can be found in Thermomix’s book – The Basic Cookbook (on p.292).
This is a very quick post on how to make a refreshing lemon iced tea. It is absolutely delicious and tastes so much better than store-bought iced tea. You can also alter the sweetness or strength of the tea to your personal taste!

My favourite desert is probably a baked cheesecake, and the funny thing is I never use to like it until this cheesecake. It is made with lemon zest and the seeds from a vanilla bean to produce a wonderfully fresh flavour, whilst the texture is extremely creamy and quite light.
Most recipes call for a double boiler and the addition of flour; this is to prevent the chances of cracking on the top. However, I assure you that these steps are not necessary – as long as your ingredients are at room temperature and you don’t beat too much air into the batter, there will be absolutely no cracks. So it’s actually simpler than you think.
Today’s post is a little different as I have created a stop motion video. It doesn’t show the precise instructions but it gives you a general idea. Sorry – I know the stop motion is not completely smooth so please bear with me.CONTINUE
Sometimes the simple things are the best things in life – such as sunsets, good conversations, and these chocolate chip cookie bars. They are crunchy on the outside, have a chewy centre and are one of the easiest things to make. I actually brought these cookie bars for people at school and they seemed to enjoy them, so I hope you will too.
Who doesn’t love chocolate? No one I hope. Luckily, it is the school holidays and I have somehow managed to upload another recipe post – on chocolate.
So today I wanted to talk about my life as a fifteen year old girl. On a usual school day, we wake up and have breakfast (obviously). Then we go to our classes where we listen (although not all the time), learn and do work. However, out of everything that happens at school, the best part is when we see people who make us feel alive. I might be the only person who feels this way, and I am most likely the first person to say that l actually enjoy school.
Everyone is extremely witty, smart, genuine, funny and kind, so usually in the morning, before classes start, there are people who you talk to that have the ability to brighten your day. During these conversations, you laugh at silly things, you smile and I guess you feel happy.
It is a funny thing living in the 21st century, because I have been given the opportunity to finally start a blog. Yes, my very own blog. So what is so funny about living in this world? There is this crazy thing called the internet – a tool which allows people to share, show, and teach others about anything and everything – but I want to use Beyond Our Sky as an inspiration for people to appreciate the little things in life, and encourage them to follow their dreams. So here is my very first post; the recipe for a delicious strawberry tart.
The tart features a sweet, shortcrust pastry that is filled with a rich, crème patissiere and topped with fresh strawberries. It is best eaten a day after it’s made as it allows the pastry to, quite literally, melt in your mouth along with the vanilla bean infused custard. CONTINUE
