April-exclusive collaboration between Melbourne-based Sara (buttermilk pantry) who’s recipes were a top to try during lockdown and masterchef Gen (sourbombe).

👍🏼 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐚 - Definitely for the matcha purists and fans with the rich grassy and umami flavour. Recommend halving it (or getting two 😉) and trying it both warm and cold. Difficult to choose a preference between the oozy matcha lava paired with the firm matcha cookie dough shell and the cold rich & creamy nama-chocolate-like experience.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐞 - Savory-sweet fudgey bite that was a good balance of umami miso and nutty sesame. Personally found it a tad too heavy on the palette but loved it in small portions.

𝐏𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐢𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐤𝐞 - Gen wasn’t lying when she said this was the most moist cake she’s tried. Packed with flavour from roasted kabocha, olives, dark chocolate, and tangy Yuzu olive glaze. Personally would have preferred for less dark chocolate to better appreciate the natural pumpkin and tea flavour but a delicious cake nonetheless.

👍🏼 𝐏𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞 - Airy and fluffy donuts generously filled with luscious pumpkin custard. Topped with candied pecans and cream cheese glaze.

𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐮 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞 - Polarizing flavour heavy on the cheese & tang that received divided views among the family.
P.S sake kasu is the by product of rice fermentation in the making of sake

𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐤𝐞 - Moist and soft banana chocolate cake with distinct rum element.

We also tried the alacarte 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐞 which was an indulgent mix of espresso chocolate, burnt Australian honey which added a lovely toffee flavour and sticky element, and crunchy roasted macadamia

TLDR: highly recommend getting a box!
