A table for two

I have so many Christmas recipes to share but I am afraid this will be the last recipe post before Santa comes tonight – the good old humble shortbread. I have made different types of shortbread by using the leftover dried cranberry from the biscotti, the bacon chips from the salted caramel, and also introducing [...]

[donotprint] Biscotti and milk for Santa. Only four more sleeps till Christmas, but I’ve been slacked and took me quite some time to finally get into the whole festive season spirit. The Pom and I have decided not to have a big celebration this year, there will be no expensive presents, there will be no [...]

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 [...]

[donotprint] What do I do with a bunch of mandarins? I made mandarin marmalade! And what do I do with a pantry full of mandarin marmalade? I made Mandarin Marmalade and Grand Marnier pudding! I have been battling (and still do) with a cold for the last whole month, the green-goo-bugger simply won’t go away! [...]

Pecan Pie, how I love thee! I am a die-hard True Blood fan, how I wish I am in Bon Temps, dining at Merlotte’s, having a slice of pecan pie and wash down with a bottle of True Blood, “AB-, thank you very much.” I have had the best pecan pie at South restaurant in [...]

[donotprint]“How would someone who really knows you describe your WORST qualities?” That is one of the questions from the Masterchef season three online application form. There is a whole lot more questions in the application – 82 questions to be exact but this question is one of the toughest, after that silly “Where would you [...]

It’s so gooey, you can literally eat it with a spoon! No joke! I love my chocolate cake as moist and gooey as a chocolate fondant, and as intense and rich as a chocolate brownie. And this chocolate cake recipe in Julia Child‘s cookbook is just what I am after. So, if you like your [...]

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 [...]

Let the Wild Rumpus Start! “Rawwrrrrr…..!” Christmas time always brings out the wild side in me. Okay, maybe not as wild as running around the house, knocking things down and smashing things up. But I do think Christmas is the best time to let loose, be carefree; indulge yourself with lots and lots of delicious [...]

If ricotta is not your thing, then you probably no need to read further. This post is all about ricotta, well not just ricotta, but food made with Perfect Italiano ricotta cheese. Thanks for Fleur at Mark Communications for sending me a huge bag full of tubs and tubs of ricotta cheese. It also only [...]
