You know me. When I like a particular cake, I will feature it again. Its clear from my archives which cakes I favour. :) This is one of them.In my last post, I shared a Marble Cake recipe which I tho...
I love a good, simple cake. It is the true test of a recipe and the quality of the ingredients. A good cake does not need fancy frosting or gilded garnishing. It stands out on its own because of its ...
April is birthday season for us. We celebrate 5 birthdays in the span of 30 days. Before we can recover from one cake, another one appears. ;) Pity our waistlines.My big boy turned 7 some days back, ...
Over the weekend, my daughter turned 13. Yup, officially a teen! :) Needless to say, it was a milestone, both for her and for me. Its not everyday your child goes from "kid" to "teen"...
The other day, when I was having tea at a café, I noted how quite a number of customers opted for a slice of orange pound cake to go with their drinks. It was something like S$4 or S$5 for a really t...
So, PAUL finally opened its doors in Singapore not so long ago. Needless to say, I was elated. I remember too clearly waking up on chilly mornings in France, to their lovely croissants, tartes and pa...
Pin ItHonestly? I was expecting to see a deeper, darker colour ... especially when these Financiers were baked using Valrhona cocoa. Obviously I messed up somewhere - I just dont know where! Sure, I ...
Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Cupcakes. ♥Pin ItOops, I did it again ...... second time in a week because these Vanilla Cupcakes are SO good. :) This round, just for fun, I swirled some blueberry sauce in. ...
Vanilla heaven, is what these cupcakes are. I am telling you, these are my favourite cupcakes from now on! The intensity of vanilla was amazing and the texture, simply unbelievable. It was so good I ...
I seldom cook these days. I am too busy, and there is hardly any need to. My daily meals consist mostly of tofu, veggies and eggs. Occasionally, I have some seafood, but that is usually when I dine o...
Im keeping my word and sharing todays recipe, which I had promised in my earlier post. I was happy to see Daiso restock their madeleine moulds, and I bought a few more to bake these. Its very easy to...
Half a lemon. That was what led to this cake. Every time I opened the fridge door, I would see that half a lemon sitting there, bald and sad. The zest was used to make these, and my helper had used o...
Baked into individual loaves using my Wilton mini loaf pan. Dont they resemble gold bars?I made a decision. I am giving pineapple tarts a miss this year. Yes, I hear your collective gasps of horror b...
No one makes desserts like the French. If I had to rank all the amazing sweets and pastries I had while in Europe recently, that Chocolate Éclair I had one morning in Paris undoubtedly takes the top ...
Time flies when you are in a hurry. Since coming back from Europe, Ive hit the ground running, getting back into the frantic pace that comes with having 3 children. Buying new uniforms, shoes, school...

Hey yall! Whats cookin? Ive been waking up every morning with no motivation to step into the kitchen. None at all. Zero. Zilch. With my daughters exams out of the way, I have been going out a lot! Mo...
I was looking through my David Roccos Dolce Vita the other day for some lunch ideas, but the whole darn problem with that cookbook is that there are just too many distracting photos of David. I found...
I love a good butter cake. Theres nothing quite like having a rich, velvety slice of golden sunshine with an aromatic cuppa Earl Grey. Once in a while, that is. If only butter cakes werent so waistli...
A traditional Florentine pasta, Ricotta Gnocchi is the lighter, hipper cousin to northern Italys potato gnocchi. This gnocchi cooks up as soft, mild-flavored dumplings. They make a great base for any...
I know I have waxed lyrical about this cake a few times already, and having made it again, its still the best chocolate cake in my book. I baked it last week, this time doing what I did not do the la...
Dear Mr DominoHow time flies! I remember the first time we met. It was love at first bite ... you with your great taste and good looks ... you instantly won me over. I loved that you were so dependab...
I was sooo hungry as I was cooking this dish! Maybe it was all the energy expended at the gym. Or the puny portions I had for dinner the night before. Or maybe, just maybe, it was the mere anticipati...
After a week of sleeping and waking up late, eating out, shopping and just chilling, the kids are back at school again, and there is finally some semblance of our regular routine. Thank goodness! Hol...
I made a tofu burger for lunch yesterday ... a REAL tofu burger, one that was made from scratch and using the freshest ingredients. I cannot believe it has taken me this long to try and I am kicking ...
Chocolate Bread? I hardly have any luck baking breads, which is why you hardly see any on my blog. Nine out of 10 times, it will be a disaster. As such, when I do bake breads at all, I tend to limit ...
Good grief, Sunkist. What have you done to your oranges??? These must be the sourest navel oranges I have ever tasted. When I bit into the orange, I literally went into shock. The orange was so acidi...
