Monte Carlo

Taking its name from the famous European city, Monte Carlo is one of Arnott’s most famous cream biscuits. Created in 1926, it features two home-style honey and coconut biscuits and a layer of rich raspberry flavoured cream filling. A great everyday treat.

In response to my Mothers' Day thoughts and reflections, a special friend, Jane, wrote, "When I was a child we just gave Mum breakfast in bed with flowers on her breakfast tray and tried not to burn the toast. I would sometimes make a chocolate cake which was quite a messy process for Mum to deal with but she only offered praise at my childish attempts.
According to Mum my cake was always perfect. That's all that mattered to me. "

So much of our pleasing is to do with simple nuturing ways - which children pick up and then attempt to transfer the same loving gestures. One memory I have, is the Mothers' Day of the burnt Popcorn, when this was considered the ultimate treat for Mum in bed. It took great restraint to stay in bed, with the fumes drifting upstairs to the bedroom. And yet another, was a very creative rendition of Monte Carlos which were a favourite of mine. I think that every conceivable sweet ingredient in the pantry was combined to produce this unusual offering. (Kitchen was a treat as well!) But I loved it. Thanks xx
