Spring time is here and we are already three quarter into the year. Spring time only means one thing for me – lots of baking.

I am talking about the infamous Crack Pie, an old recipe revamped by the pastry chef Christina Tosi at Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC. I actually haven’t try the real [...]

My daily full time job revolves around internet, so usually the best way for my clients to find me is via email, msn, skype, gtalk, facebook, twitter, you name it.

Chocolate Macarons Simnel Cake

A modern twist of a traditional Easter cake.

Lamington Tiramisu for Australia Day

January 28, 2010

Lamington – “Those bloody poofy woolly biscuits”. That’s how the Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901, Charles Cochrane-Baillie, 2nd Baron Lamington, described this iconic Australian dessert. Don’t blame him, he probably would have wanted something more manly and macho like a chunky beef pie to be named after him, and not to be associated [...]
