Pistachio, White Chocolate and Raspberry Blondies
This blondie recipe from In the Kitchen cookbook features the sweet combination of pistachio nuts, white chocolate and raspberries.
Written by Melbourne chefs and authors Michele Curtis and Alan Campion, In the Kitchen was first published in 2008. The new edition released last month features more than 700 recipes including chapters on everything from pantry basics such as stocks, sauces and dressings, to “bowl food”, “30-minute dinners”, pastries and bread.
Although fresh raspberries are no longer in season, the authors say frozen fruit works just as well in this recipe.

Melt the butter and chocolate together, either by placing them in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or in the microwave on Low.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Fold through the sifted flours. Finally stir through the melted chocolate mixture and pistachio nuts.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and scatter the raspberries over the top. Bake for 35 minutes or until just cooked. Allow to cool before cutting into 12 pieces.
