I think there are few people who don’t love a good pumpkin soup. And with the weather in Australia heading into the winter months, this is a quick post just to remind you how easy pumpkin soup is to make and how delicious and filling – not to mention healthy – it can be. I…
I’m a little late in writing this post because, I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant and despite having scheduled in blog posts for publishing, I’ve been truly and utterly exhausted over the past 10 days. But that’s not going to stop me from wishing you all a Happy Chinese New Year!!! Fortunately for me, CNY lasts…
My parents bought me a styrofoam macaron tower base in June when I thought I would attempt one for my son’s second birthday. I attempted it with toothpicks (the way the professionals do it) but found that whenever I pushed my macarons into the toothpicks, they would somehow crumble and crush under the weight of…
December in Australia’s great. Everything’s starting to wind down, friendship group & family reunions take place & what seems to arise is the perfect excuse to make food that only rears its head up once a year – during the festive season.

I’d heard so many rave reviews about Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi before I actually purchased their cookbook – Ottolenghi The Cookbook.

My husband and I love green tea ice cream so much so that our son is very much into it as well. The other day, we dusted off our Cuisinart ice cream maker and decided to give it a go. The result was amazing and something that I’m definitely going to have to share with…
A couple of weeks ago, we had my parents over for an impromptu dinner. We’d bought a duck from Costco over the weekend and it got me reminiscing over the second time my husband impressed me in the kitchen (the first was when he made me sushi on his own birthday!!).. He hadn’t cooked the…
As an ABC (Australian Born Chinese), I’ve always associated claypot cooking as a complex and refined Malaysian art form. Don’t ask me why! But anyway – when I found this recipe in Billy Law’s first cookbook Have You Eaten?, I knew that I couldn’t let my induction cooktop deter me so got out my camping…
Maybe five or so years ago, my mother discovered that she was intolerant to gluten. We wouldn’t have believed it but by simply cutting out the gluten in her diet, she was able to walk again, without the assistance of a walking aid. It literally freed her of arthritis. And so last week, when we…
