Don't miss new property show, Phil Spencer Secret Agent, only on LifeStyle this month.
Donna Hay's Standby Brownies make the perfect afternoon treat,
I can’t imagine Christmas without nougat. It would be like waking up on December 25th and staring at a cold empty living room. When I was a kid, Dad went to great trouble to get Spanish nougat. He knew a Spanish man who would have a container load sent over from Spain for all the Spanish expats in Melbourne. Dad would load up his boot and deliver it to friends and family in Geelong. Sweet, soft, flavoured with honey and full of toasted almonds it is surprisingly easy to make but funnily enough most Spaniards don’t make it. When I go back to see my family in Cordoba at Christmas I visit my favourite pastry shop near the Roman ruins and buy an armful and give them to my family. I sit down with my Aunties and slowly eat each delicious morsel as I hear how well the cousins are doing in their businesses and how the nieces and nephews are doing at school.

well i think the recipe is actually great... i tried it yet made some changes w/ the measurement.. it looked and tasted great for me... thanks for the recipe
I attempted to make this and it was a disaster! I couldn't believe Frank Camorra's comment in his book 'Rustica' - stating that it was relatively easy to make! I consider myself quite an accomplished cook and managed to burn the sugar syrup whilst waiting for the honey syrup to reach temperature. If you wait until it reaches 170 degrees it is actually black, burnt toffee. Then I had to restart the sugar syrup which was a huge mistake! The nougat started to thicken then before I could add the re-made sugar syrup and it ended up a gigantic blobby mess. My mixer motor nearly burnt out trying to cope with the thickness of blending the nougat. I think next time I will just go and buy some, but at least I have made it once, so can cross that off the list! The flavour was quite nice though.
I've just been looking at another nougat recipe. Perhaps it should read 110 degrees.
The measurements in this recipe are wrong. 125g honey does not even equal half a cup.
Perhaps it should read 125ml, as there is 250mls to 1 cup
glace cherries would also go well in this!
Reads well, will substitute almonds with macadamias and orange in lieu of lemons
