A table for two

Day 26. Who do you miss the most? I still remember there was a recipe we had to write for a MasterChef’s challenge, a dish that we will cook for our love ones. But sadly I didn’t make it that far to really get the chance to cook that dish I’ve written down which was [...]

Day 13. Whoever watched MasterChef Australia season 3 would have seen me making my very first Bombe Alaska during the pressure test. I obviously enjoyed the challenge a little too much and started deviating from the original Bombe Alaska that we were shown before the challenge. I actually didn’t even think that it could be [...]

Day 4. Go hard or go home! I have jellies, I have pudding, how about a “cake”? By the way, before I get into the fun bit, I think is important for me to remind you all that October is Nation Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are so much you can do to support, buy [...]

Happy Birthday to The Pom! Here’s a toast, cheers and three pats on the back to my partner in crime, The Pom, because is his “Cow One” today! Don’t ask me why, but ‘cow one’ in Chinese means birthday. This is a white chocolate cake I baked last night for him but didn’t put in [...]

[donotprint] I am still flicking through The Great British Book of Baking the Pom bought for me during a recent trip back to UK. After having much success with the mandarin marmalade and Grand Marnier pudding, I’ve decided to give another recipe in the book a go and have chosen the Dundee Cake, supposedly to [...]

A modern twist of a traditional Easter cake. A very last minute decision when The Pom mentioned about this cake that his mum will usually make during Easter every year, it sounds so very interesting and I simply have to make it. “There were twelve apostles but then one of them is naughty and I [...]

Nanaimo Bar, sounded like a crazy Japanese snack when I first heard it. Only then realised that Nanaimo is actually a city on the Vancouver Island in Bristish Columbia, Canada. The Nanaimo city so proud of this confectionery chocolate squares, they even have a page fully dedicated to the Namaimo Bar on their official website. [...]

The cake sounds horrible in English, but if I put it in French… Gateau au chocolat à la fleur de sel et huile d’olive. The cake definitely sounds so much sexier in French, don’t you think? In short, just as the title says, it is a chocolate cake with olive oil and sea salt (fleur [...]

The Pom is very inspired by the Masterchef Australia show lately, and he even suggested that he will make cupcakes after watching Julie making her “Lemon Diva” cupcakes on last friday night cooking class episode. But soon the Pom realised it is the Queen’s Birthday long weekend here in Australia, he changed his mind and [...]

Trench coats, falling autumn leaves, aromatic coffee, french air kisses, Sydney is slowly turning into a romantic city. But there is also one man who is bringing the real Paris to your doorstep, and that person is Adriano Zumbo. Need no introduction, Zumbo has become a household name among all food bloggers, and reached celebrity [...]

It’s Domo-Kun! I made my very first novelty cake for the flavour tripping party at ChocolateSuze’s new home. Sorry for the late post as some readers had requested for the recipe a while ago, hope it’s not too late for those who were planning to make the Domo-Kun cake for party. What do you mean [...]

Our friend, Big D was born and grew up in Bathurst. He inherited all his father’s knowledge of the town, who was a historian and written a numerous books about the whole town of Bathurst. This explains why Big D knows every single street and shop in the town like the back of his hand. [...]

After galleries hopping and a tasty lunch at Bills, we hopped back into the car and drove into city for one last exhibition at State Library of NSW. The sky was looking gloomy and started to rain as we came out of the gallery, so there is no better excuse as we quickly dashed into [...]

My very first take on the daunting Daring Bakers’ Challenge. I didn’t know what to expect, except follow some rules, and bake a cake! I love cake, I love desserts, and I love chocolate, so I wouldn’t mind to join in the fun. And my first challenge is to bake a chocolate cake, well a [...]
