This is a very simple recipe. I adapted this recipe back in 2005 from several recipes that I found online and I have used this rendition ever since. It’s my go-to dessert when I’ve got left over egg yolks lying around in my fridge. It’s so deliciously creamy and to be honest – it’s right…
As I’ve mentioned previously, my mum must abide by a gluten-free diet for medical reasons. Hence the baker in me has been pushed to try out gluten-free sweets. Most gluten-free cakes taste grainy & leave an unsavory residue in your mouth but these are amazing. They’re from Justin North’s FAMILY COOKING book and they are…
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…
Duck is something my husband cooks maybe once a fortnight or so when he knows that I’m going to be home from work later than him. It’s quick, it’s easy & it’s very tasty. This recipe mixes things up a little and adds a French twist to it. We made it the other night and…
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. White Christmas is one of those dishes. We start making it as children…
I’d heard so many rave reviews about Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi before I actually purchased their cookbook – Ottolenghi The Cookbook. And currently being on the low side of normal as far as iron stores go, this red meat recipe seemed like the perfect place to start. My husband and toddler absolutely love this…
Too much Dorie in one week? I beg to differ and I can’t help it as her Around My French Table cookbook arrived in the mail on Friday – excuse me whilst I try to conceal my excitement.. I love giving packages as much as I enjoy receiving them so this recipe seemed like the…
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…
Currently pregnant with my second child, it got my husband and I reminiscing about pregnancy cravings… This time round I’m basically craving carbs & dirty dumplings (the fried pork, Shanghainese type). But with Lil’ E – my sweetheart of a husband indulged me with my lobster cravings on a weekly basis (we essentially went for…
