Beeramisu

February 28, 2010 Baking

Tiramisu for the boys.
Or girls who like beer… stout in particular. I have just made the Lamington Tiramisu for Australia Day last month which I absolutely enjoyed, not to mention it is dead easy to make. When they announced this month’s Daring Bakers Challenge, and you’ve guessed it, is Tiramisu again! I was actually half [...]

Chinese New Year Peanut Cookies (花生饼)

February 2, 2010 Baking

I’ve made the peanut cookies for the Chinese New Year again. Those little golden morsels of soft peanut crumbs that simply melt in the mouth like eating a dollop of peanut butter never fail to satiate my cravings. I’ve revised my previous recipe a little and yield a better result. You can grab the recipe [...]

Lamington Tiramisu for Australia Day

January 28, 2010 Australian

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 with [...]

‘Where The Wild Things Are’ Gingerbread House… sort of

December 19, 2009 Baking

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 yummy [...]

Stir Fried Belacan Winged Beans (four-angled beans)

November 17, 2009 Chinese

There are some home cookings from Malaysia that I really miss. But I am also having troubles locating a few essential ingredients even if I bother to cook that authentic dish myself. Pandan leaves for instance, it is hard to come by in the area where I live. But in Sydney, heaps of them! I [...]

Chocolate cake with olive oil and fleur de sel

November 11, 2009 Baking

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 de [...]
