About 16 years ago, Tash Topschij was sorting through some old boxes when she stumbled across a handwritten chocolate recipe. It was her mother's - who'd travelled from Russia, to China and Israel, before arriving in Australia. Today, the recipe has found a home on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, where Tash has revived the traditional Russian recipe, using a blend of native Australian ingredients with the traditional Russian recipes to create a sweet sensation in her Port Macquarie community.
